2. Do you ever finish your workday feeling like you
weren’t able to accomplish everything on your list?
You start with a plan, a list, a goal… but by the end
of the day, you find your to-do list is even longer.

4. Being productive at work can be difficult. Managing
your time in ways that are conducive to your
productivity is key… but it can sometimes be hard
to know where to start.

5. Stop multitasking
It can be tempting to want to take care of a few tasks at once,
especially if they seem small or easy. But it simply doesn’t work.
According to neuroscience professor Earl K. Miller, “multitasking
is not humanly possible.” We’re fooling ourselves when we say
we can easily juggle phone calls, presentations, and eating
lunch. Focus on one task at a time, and you’ll actually end up
completing it faster.

6. Set small goals
Sometimes, looking at our goals can be overwhelming. Seeing a
handful of big projects on our calendar can be stressful… but if you
break it up into smaller tasks, you’ll feel more in control and will be
much more productive. Rather than write down "finish project,"
break that into all the tasks it will take. This will keep you on track
in your day-to-day and make the bigger projects seem less
daunting.

8. Take care of the biggest tasks when
you’re most alert!
We all sometimes push aside big goals because we’re not confident we’ll
accomplish them… And by the time we get to them, we’re too burned out
from our day to give it the attention it needs. That’s how projects end up
bleeding into additional days, and making it feel like productivity has
disappeared. Understanding when and how you work best is key to getting
those big projects done on time. There’s no set schedule that works for
everyone… if you’re a morning person, tackle the big tasks first thing in your
day.

9. Implement the “two-minute rule”
Make the most of your time at work by filling those tiny windows with actual
tasks. According to entrepreneur Steve Olenski, finding and immediately
completing tasks that take two minutes or less actually saves you time. So, if
it takes less than two minutes, do it now.

11. Not every day will be perfectly productive; don’t beat
yourself up over it. Instead, refocus your energy and
implement these tips. Once you find the sweet spot that
works for you, you’ll be amazed at how much more you can
get done both in and out of the office.
