5 Enemies Of Productivity
• I think you have read many articles about how you
could increase your productivity. We have also
written about it in our blog article, called “6 Steps to
Stay Productive All Day Long”. Despite being widely
discussed, productivity can become difficult to find,
because many employees think that productivity
only means working harder.
• If you want to boost productivity without putting in
huge effort, you can identify your enemies and try to
beat them.

1. Lack of sleep.
• It is funny, but productivity starts from your bed. If
you didn’t sleep well last night, you can’t expect to
have highly productive day. Without a good rest you
can’t be efficient at work. Sometimes we can work
long hours with only four hours of sleep, but only
for short periods of time.

2. Multitasking.
• It is nice if you are good at multitasking. But it can’t be the key
to do different tasks simultaneously. Multitasking has become
a working culture. People, who are always multitasking, have
trouble focusing their attention for longer timespans. Due to
our multitasking, we are in a rush, and don’t spend enough
time on a single task. Even worse, we don’t finish tasks
properly, or miss and forget things.

3. Interruptions.
• It is worth having a coffee break, eating some
apple or talking with a colleague for five
minutes. Pauses help to maintain focus. But if
you spend up to 1 hour (or more) on social
networking sites, then surfing the Net, and
after that you have a meeting with colleagues
about nothing. This can’t even be called
interruptions, this is simply a waste of time.

4. Stress.
• Stress is the enemy number one. Stress
reduces your focus, it is harder to solve
problems and it costs a lot of energy. You can
read our article about how to deal with stress.

5. Procrastination.
• Everything that you can do in two minutes, DO
it immediately. If you put your small tasks day
after day into the to-do list, you will start
feeling bad about those small tasks piling up.
It is impossible to avoid doing your tasks, so it
is better to do them and proceed forward.
