Productivity Improvement: 100% Sure Shot Tip that works

Productivity improvement and better utilization of  one’s time is must in today’s life. There are multiple priorities, multiple tasks and available time needs to be allocated to these activities through an efficient approach.

It is very easy to get absorbed in multiple activities and urgent tasks around us and to get overwhelmed by them. What is required is a steady mind and a proven approach to come out of it.

Sharing a real life example of when I was in  a similar situation and how I discovered a proven productivity technique to come out of it.

During early days of career, I was trying to be more productive in task completion. More effort I was putting by slogging  extra hours , more I was failing in achieving designated tasks.

Until one conversation with Line Manager who was industry veteran of 25 years which improved my productivity forever.

Conversation was as follows:

Manager: Write your task list for day

Me: Here is list of 10 tasks to be done today

Manager: How will you accomplish these tasks

Me: Slot 1 hour for each task. If not completed in 1 hour move to 2^nd task and so on. 10 tasks to be completed in 10 hours.

Manager: ( Smirking) You will not be able to complete any of the tasks

Me: (Surprised). Why

Manager: Try it out

In evening,

Manager: How many tasks completed

Me: Not a single one

Manager: How are you feeling

Me: Frustrated and exhausted

Manager :Let us try tomorrow

Next Day,

Manager: Write task list

Me: here are the 10 tasks

Manager: Start with most important task. Complete it fully and then move to next important one

Me: What if not even one is completed in entire day and then remaining also will not be done.

Manager : Trust me. Try it out

Me: Ok

In evening

Manager: How many tasks completed

Me: All of them. 10 out of 10.

Manager : How are you feeling

Me: Productive, satisfied and happiness of achieved something .

This experience has lead to my productivity improvement forever. It enabled me to stay on top of tasks and activities and complete them on timely basis.

I learnt the Mantra to Productivity improvement at workplace is to take one task at a time , give it full focus, attention, at that time don’t worry about other tasks and complete it before moving to next one .
You will be able to accomplish more in less time.
