1. 14 Tips that can increase
your productivity by 90%
2. 1. Set clear goals
Set a clear goal as to what needs to be accomplished.
And,don’t forget to revisit your goals
and measure your progress on regular basis.
3. 2. Social
networking
isn’t that
bad
For every two hours
of continuous
working, take a two
minute sneak peek to
your Facebookand
LinkedIn profiles.
This habit suffices
your social
networking curiosity
and helps you focus
on your work.
4. 3. Schedule your downtime
You can mark the moments during
which you’re really not working on your
calendar before or after they happen.
This would help you to track the actual
time you’ve devoted working and
calculate the corresponding outcome.
5. 4. Record. Record. Record.
Ideas get easily skipped from our mind if we
don’t jot them down. So if you have an idea,
simply type in and save it into your ProofHub
quickies as soon as they hit your mind.
6. 5. A day unplanned
is a day wasted
Make sure to plan before you start working on a
given day with your ProofHub’s to-do list. Preferably,
you should do it a night before so that you can jump
on the tasks as soon as you’re out of bed.
7. 6. Reduce meeting time by 25%
Reduce a one hour
meeting to 45 minutes.
You’ll see the
difference- people who
all are participating
will arrive early and
will be more positive
about participating as
a result.
8. 7. Switch off pop up notifications
Your email, chat, and other programs that are running on
your system and cell phone will throw in distracting
notifications that will divert your attention. Save
yourself and turn off these notifications while you are
9. 8. Set deadlines
Self-imposed deadlines can be really helpful in
getting your tasks done on time. Be it 5 minutes
or an hour, set time limit for every task you do.
10. 9. Don’t forget your
personal space
Other than work, to stay fit, ensure a 30-minute
workout in the morning, followed by a healthy
breakfast. For your loved ones, keep an hour or
so in the evening and spend a major portion of
weekends having fun with them.
11. 10. Say No to the unexpected
While we’re in the execution
mode, the biggest distractions
tend to be those unexpected
things in the form of – “Can
you do this for me? Do u know
how to send this assignment?”
The easiest way is to stay
away from these distractions
is to simply say – NO.
12. 11. Be prepared when
on the go
Travelling should never hamper your
work. You can manage all your
projects in ProofHub, and connect to
your people without being physically
present there.
13. 12. Get up and walk
Prolonged sitting can cause serious health
damages including inflexible spine and poor leg
circulation. A five minute walk along the corridor
or taking a stroll to the lobby keeps you more
active.
14. 13. Motivate yourself
Staying happy and inspired when you work is very important. Reward
yourself whenever you achieve something big. Treat yourself with a
dinner at your favorite restaurant, or purchase new clothes or gadgets
for yourself. It feels wonderful!
15. 14. Use technology
The right technology enhances your efficiency and saves time.So, stay
updated about the latest technology and how you can make the most of it.
16. Thanks!
