100 Productivity Tips

100 Productivity Tips






There's an excellent rolling discussion over on Instigator Blog about getting the most you can out of every day.

As an employee, contractor or owner of a business it's obviously important for your own work but productivity is perhaps even more vital in your staff or those you manage - essentially maximising the returns from your investment of time and money (salaries).

A few simple productivity tips from us then:

  1. Limit your use of email during the day - it's far too easy to keep checking email throughout the day and get distracted by unnecessary communications. Set aside a specific time to handle emails.
  2. Work to a plan - Outline at the beginning of the week what needs done and when, stick to it
  3. Do it in chunks - Attention easily wanders over longer periods - take regular breaks and complete projects in easily digestible chunks
  4. Delegate - As much as possible do the work where you can add the most value, if someone else can do the job just as easily, delegate
  5. Make a start - Big projects can be daunting, make a start ASAP, even if it's only the first paragraph or an outline on a napkin. Making any kind of start makes it easier to return to.
  6. Having a good system for filing your papers so you can find things easily and quickly
