Reality has shown that is not the same work hard to do it
efficiently (being skilled in the use of resources) and effective (ensuring the
achievement of the objectives). If you think that being a good professional is
equivalent to assign him many hours to your work, you should read these five
simple recommendations. Keep it clear: the results speak for you, not the time
spent to get them.
1. Work in a clean and tidy
How many times have you lost valuable minutes or hours looking for
"that report" you need? But not only that: it is proven that
distracting clutter. In addition, almost impossible that your "memory
aid" (a post-it, memo, etc.). Really fulfill their purpose.
2. Organize your computer
True, the tool "Search" to get your team will help you
find just about anything, but do not trust, because the time it takes depends
on how many files you have.
Recommendation: looking much defined concepts and common words. It
is easier, and if you remember the name of the file.
3. Plan your day
The personal agendas of programs like "Outlook" are a
real salvation for hundreds of thousands of people. To organize an agenda and
also have reminder systems. If you do not work with a computer, use an agenda
or make the most out of your cell phone. You cannot start your day without
knowing what to do. If you clear your activities, it is very likely that you
can better decide and prioritize with greater certainty.
4. First things first
A book by consultant and trainer Stephen Covey (author of the
bestseller "The 7 habits of highly effective people") is devoted
entirely to this point. It is entitled "First Things First". The
reason is simple: if you cannot prioritize your activities will always be
"putting out fires". It is essential not to confuse the urgent with
the important. And know that not to have time to focus on really fundamental
activities.
5. Get ready for big battles
Many of the decisions or activities that take place during working
hours resulting from immediate analysis or almost instinctively. However, you
should know that not all battles are equally important. Learn to identify
situations or decisions require your full attention and, above all, of a
preparation. Doing so will not only facilitate the allocation of your time, but
you "will shield" against domestic competition.
Now that you've read these tips, take them to practice and see how
will you enforce your time and effort. How to Increase Productivity by Rehan Riaz Merchant
