Simple Tips To Become Productive
Since April 2010, I began pioneering series about productivity. There are many simple things that we can do to become productive. The following summary of the previous article has ever appeared on this blog:
1. Have a plan
The plan is a picture of what we want to do. Make a plan helps us to manage time and set whatever we want to do. Not only that, the plan is an initial creations. You decide what it wants to do before doing it. A lot of great work was born from the mature
2. focus
Once you have the plan matured, it comes time working on what you’ve previously specified. In order to work with productive, we need to learn to focus. Like a laser beam which is concentrated to a point, then the focus will make anything we’re working on could be completed within the shortest possible with quality as good as possible. It is not easy to focus because of the many distractions that divert attention. But if you manage to train your ability to always focus when working on critical tasks, you will become more productive.
3. replace the atmosphere
The routine of the same work from time to time sometimes make saturated and bored. When this happens, then productivity will plummet because we lost Zing and a passion to do something. For that you need to change the atmosphere. Looking for a new place, new ways, or new approaches so that more fresh thoughts and ideas sprung up. If you often feel stagnates, try to replace it with a new atmosphere.
4. don’t delay
Attitude of the procrastinator becomes a big barrier for your success. We put off what really can be done today. As a result, work stacked and feels heavy. Not only that, delaying an attitude rarely make us lose the opportunity. Every day had its work each. Therefore do and do not like to delay.
5. skilled in Reading
Whatever your profession, must deal with the reading. If you are a student, you should read the book and the subject matter. If you are a manager of a company, you should read the report, latest trends surrounding businesses, and analyzing it to take a decision. And if you’re one who loves to train a new skill, you have a lot of reading and learning. One of the secrets of being a productive person is to read faster. Imagine if you could read two times faster than the average person, then you can complete a variety of tasks related to reading in just over half of it anyway. You will become much more productive.
Survivors Make Plans and Work Full Productivity
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey explains that each action requires two stages. The first stage is to create it in your mental ideas and second stage embodies into the shape of real. Like an engineer pictures home in her mind and make it happen to the paper. Then from the image of a mature technique of embodied into the buildings truly are.
By creating a plan, you can think clearly what exactly you want to do, the extent to which you are going to do it and how much time would you spend on it. Imagine if an engineer building a house without a plan, then that happens is the home must be dismantled and there here because wrong settings.
Plans without implementing the commitments will be in vain
Have you ever had a plan stay plans and did not manage to be realized? This can be due to several factors:
- Plans are made too ambitious and unrealistic with the ability. Suppose you plan doing many things within a very short, then it will end up with disappointment because it did not manage to do so.
- The plan made no luxurious thing to do. Make a plan according to what you want and need to do. Don’t make plans without commitment and intention to do it.
In order that your plan can succeed, use the SMART guides i.e. devises a plan:
- Specific, clear what will be done,
Measurable, measurable results
Actionable, enforceable by yourself and the other people who will be involved
Reasonable, in any sense, may be carried out with the resources you have
Time frames, have a clear time frame as to when done and when finished
The plan does not always correspond to the expectations
Man plans, God will decide. Not every plan will go according to what you want. Not rarely happens is the opposite. No need to worry with it. Because our job is to prepare something and do it as good as possible. That way we do our duty. God gave us common sense, mind and heart are all to put to good use.
If you fail to do something that you’ve planned well, there might be a special message in there that can be learned. Passing messages that you could make a more appropriate plan that fits Your way of life.
Whatever the result, submit it on the most powerful and Most have a plan. Until in the end God wills to inspire our plans in line with his will. That’s where the work is heavy though it will feel in such a light.

Impulse Purchase In Your Business
Plan what you will do in each activity
Suppose you and your wife will go monthly shopping today. If you will be departing directly or make a small note in advance anything must be purchased?
Many people choose first way i.e. direct shop without planning ahead of time. In this way the legitimate only if you have a good memory and already know exactly what you need to buy. If not, then You will be at risk of buying what is not needed because it looks interesting and forget what is really necessary.
You should provide the next 10 minutes to look to your kitchen anything less and needs to be purchased. Note the items your needs so that nothing is missed. If necessary assign based on its kind such as: fish, Meat/milk/coffee/tea, noodles, rice and so on according to your habits.
This way will help you to shop quickly and efficiently. You will also avoid impulse buying – buy unconsciously and suddenly because something catches your attention.
Similarly, when you start the computer to work on a lot of things, set the first plan that will be done. If you will be checking emails, viewing Facebook for some time, working on the report and so on. In this way the attention you are not distracted by other activities which in fact impedes productivity and dereliction of duty which actually needs to be done.
Some people do not like the type of planning like this. In my opinion it is reasonable because not everyone is the same. If you belong to the type who loves to something without planning, at least have a plan the size only and you will be more productive.
