Getting It Done: Quick Tips for Making Every Day Your Most Productive

10 Jun Getting It Done: Quick Tips for Making Every Day Your Most Productive

According to many surveys the most productive day of the work week is Tuesday and I would say I concur.  I love a Tuesday.  Tuesday is suspected to be the most productive because employees can begin to focus in on specific tasks.  So how do you make every day as productive as an average Tuesday?

1. Axe the excess. Create a to-do list, but prioritize that list. “A shorter, more realistic list that leaves room for unexpected projects and setbacks will help you become more productive,” Accountemps says.

1. Aim for quality, not quantity. Multitasking can lead to oversights and errors, Accountemps says, so try to focus on one project at a time.

1. Know your prime time. Different workers have different times of optimal efficiency. Once you have a handle on when you work best, move challenging projects to that time window.

1. Dodge derailers. Unplug from email and social media when working on critical tasks. Accountemps also recommends politely telling co-workers that you don’t want to be disturbed.

1. Explore apps. A wide range of software tools are designed to help workers be more productive. Use technology to your advantage, not your detriment.
