2022-05-16 19:15:00 3 ways to increase your productivity

Prepare before you begin.
Productivity doesn't come in a snap, it's a process that begins long before you get started. The earlier you prepare and formulate a clear idea of what you want to achieve, the easier and quicker the job will go.

Follow a daily routine.
Athletes, musicians, and many others are better suited to follow this rule. An orderly day will train your subconscious mind to know when it is time to work and when to rest. Trying to be productive yesterday morning, this afternoon, and tomorrow evening won't do you any good in the long run.

Measure the result of your work.
If the result cannot be measured, it cannot be improved. But it is important to realize that measurement is not always about time, money, or something tangible. Sometimes the best way is to look back at your previous work and see if it got better this time. Open / Comment

2022-05-16 15:00:01 How to find time

Allocate less time to important things. When you have a limited amount of time, you will have to force yourself to work hard to get things done in a short time.

Write down what you spend time on. That way you can see how much time is being wasted and assess where it could be better spent.

Eliminate activities that absorb your time, energy, and attention with little return.

Stop aiming for perfection. Know when it's time to stop. Especially for tasks that aren't particularly important, like cleaning. Open / Comment

This method will help to be more objective. For each task, you need to give an estimate:

the best scenario;
worst scenario;
the most likely scenario.

The first number is likely to match your initial prediction. Estimating the most likely scenario can be based on the experience you have. And when estimating the worst, you need to consider how long it will take if things go wrong.

Once you have the three numbers, calculate the average. For example, if the best-case scenario is three days, the likely scenario is five days, and the worst-case scenario is nine, simply add up: 3 + 5 + 9 = 17. Then divide that number by three. You get an average of 5.67 days - this is your prediction of the time needed. Open / Comment

2022-05-15 20:00:02 How to be the best at what you do

Set a goal (e.g. "Become No.1 in...").

Make an audit of yourself.

Constantly and systematically engage in personal and professional development.

Commit to achieving high results in what you do. Without "records", achievements, "business cards", first-class projects, and results, you are definitely not No.1.

And last place in this algorithm is promotion. It should be there, but it is not the decisive factor for success. Open / Comment

2022-05-15 15:00:01 To-Do List

If an item in your planning remains on your to-do list for more than three days, determine what exactly you will do.

Do it first the next day.

Plan a date and time in the week when you will start this task.

Remove it from your list if it is no longer relevant. Open / Comment

2022-05-15 09:00:01 The power of habit. Charles Duhigg

We recommend a book on the subject of self-development. It talks about how our brains work and why we find it so difficult to break old habits.

The book also includes the history of toothpaste, sales failures and how to increase them.

If you are in business, it wouldn't hurt to read this book in order to better understand the psychology of customers.

The chapter on the Starbucks approach is impressive. Why do people go there for coffee? The answer is in the book.

The author of the book reveals the secrets of supermarket marketing and shares some of his top tips.

It's all written in plain and simple language. Open / Comment

2022-05-14 19:00:01 Do what you said you would do

When we talk to other people, we keep promising them things. We say that we will certainly present them to someone. We assure them we will get back to them on the issue they asked us to help with. We guarantee that we will meet one deadline or another.

Honesty requires that we keep our promises. And that goes for even the tiniest of promises.

When you promise to introduce someone to someone, don't forget it. When you promise to remember for someone the title of a great book that came up in conversation, be sure to send that person a message soon with its title and a link to the online store where you can buy it.

The bottom line is that the habit of bringing the conversation to a point forces you to take responsibility for your words on any other occasions as well. And to hone this skill to full automatism under everyone's power. Open / Comment

2022-05-14 16:00:01 Strength of character is the key to outstanding achievements

Even the most beloved activity in the world over time tends to get bored. At such moments, it is very desirable to abandon everything and go to new shores, in search of something that will never get boring.

Those who succumb to weakness fall into a vicious circle of endless changes of occupation, often without achieving success.

Those who have the strength of character become winners. Open / Comment

2022-05-14 09:00:01 ABC analysis

The prioritisation method.

This method divides all tasks into three groups:

Group A – particularly important tasks. They make up 15% of all tasks, but contribute the most to achieving the goals (about 65%).

Group B – just important tasks. They leave 20% of the to-do list and contribute 20% to the goals.

Group C – less important and non-essential tasks. They account for up to 65% of all tasks but contribute only 15% to the goals.

Step 1. Make a list of tasks for the planned time period.

Step 2. Rank the tasks according to their importance.

Step 3. Mark the first 15% of tasks with A, the next 20% with B and the remaining 65% with C.

Step 4. Try to change the time budget for these groups of tasks:
65% of the time should go to task A;
20% on task B;
15% for task C. Open / Comment
