Developing a Productivity Formula for YOU

Anytime you can customize something to meet your individual needs, the results are sure to be improved. Just about everybody would benefit from improved results in their lives and that is where the productivity formula comes in. The greater number of life’s little interruptions you can manage at the moment as they come along, while still progressively moving forward on your target project, will increase productivity and success. With that in mind, let’s look at these self help tips to put a productivity formula in place for you.

Have a definite plan. All your daily tasks are forms of short term goals. They should be the smaller pieces of the bigger project, or long term goal you are working toward. Take some time to review your daily routine. If it is not clearly affecting the big picture, start over. Make a new plan.

Prioritize. Once you have your short range and long range tasks lined up, prioritize what needs to be done during the day. We tend to think of everything as important, otherwise it wouldn’t be on the list, but some need to be done earlier and some can simply be deferred to the next day if necessary.

Schedule breaks to recharge. Walk around for a few minutes. Stretch. Play a quick game of spyder. Your body and your brain will feel better and work so much better that you will make up for the lost work time, even exceed it.

Don’t skip lunch. The body and the brain need nourishment to function properly. Your mind will be clearer and you will achieve better results when you take the time to eat.

Track progress and recognize your own achievements, no matter how small. You will be motivated to continue and achieve more success.

Deal with the little interruptions that come along before they turn into problems. The time invested is usually minimal and it saves stress and hours in the end.

Regardless of whom you are or what you are trying to accomplish, you have to do work to get there. That work is called productivity and with a positive attitude and your productivity formula, you will succeed.
