  • Things You Should Start Doing

1. Understand yourself. 

Productivity is not one-size-fits-all. Some people can focus on the end of a single activity for

hours, while some need to mix things up every 20 minutes or so. Just find out what kind of

person you are, and don't battle it! Let your brain and body tell you what you want to do and

how to approach it.

2. Prioritize your tasks, first.

If you take action to prioritize your job, you can effectively improve your productivity, reach your

goals, and properly control your time at work.


Do the most critical job first, and then, make it accordingly.

3. Form consistent routines.

When you see a style that fits well for you, stick to it. As you get used to being successful, you

continue to get hooked to hard work. I know it sounds crazy, but it's a lot better to be addicted

to changing your life than to break it, isn't it?

4. Concentrate on a single task.

When you prioritize your to-do list, you also section your tasks into different time slots

throughout the day. Keep up with this plan! Don't collide with your chores, no matter what. Set

out to complete one of the projects at a time. You are not going to crack your concentrate, so

you are not going to lose precious time going back and forth between activities.

I know I just said that you are not going to be multitasking, so it's about the things that need 100 percent of your time. But there are many moments in the day when you should be able to do two tasks at once without sacrificing productivity.

6. Analyze your habits of procrastination.

 All procrastinating once in a while, so you are all doing so for different reasons. Most of you are terrified of defeat, others are terrified of success. Some of you, of course, is just lazy. 


Figure out why you have been procrastinating, and see if you can make adjustments to your lifestyle and mind and break free from everything you have been keeping.

7. Take a frequent break.

Don't feel that "being successful" means you have to keep running around 24 hours a day. Everyone needs at least that little time to recharge their batteries. In fact, if you have been incredibly productive, you are likely to have more time to chill after all your work is done. It's a much better way of living, isn't it?

  • Things You Should Stop Doing

In an age when everything is moving at a rapid speed, balancing your strength is much more critical than managing your time. Simply getting busy doesn't turn into productivity.

1. Overtime Working

Overtime is slowly destroying you, and you are foolishly giving in to it. Career, popularity, wealth, and glory can be significant, but it's all priced. And sometimes you realize this when the damage is already done.


The organization is satisfied with the performance you deliver, not the hours you spend in the chair. You will be done with it in no time with just the right technology and mindset.

2. Doing everything on your own

Why not let someone who is better at the task than you, take over some of your workloads. Many productive people know the value of delegating tasks, keeping their hands free to do something.

3. Saying "Yes" to all things

You need to assess when to say yes to the most important activity and nod your head to anything else that doesn't yield any results. If you want to be more successful, learn to say "No" that doesn’t hurt.

 4. Wasting Time.

Time is a valuable resource. You all know that right. Are you treating it like the money? Avoid spending time on unnecessary things to make them profitable, handle your job effectively, and keep distractions away to be more successful.

5. Practicing multiple balls at one time

Multitasking is a good thing because it helps you do more in less time. That's what most people think, at least. Unfortunately, it's a long way from the facts. Multitasking limits flexibility and performance. Yeah, you have heard that correctly.

If you try multitasking, the mind begins changing attention from one task to another, which can lead to a lack of valuable time, making you less successful in turn.

6. Hunting for Perfection

You may think striving for perfection is a good thing. If you aim for excellence, you seem to waste more time completing a given job as immaturely and seamlessly as possible, which ultimately reduces your performance graph.


Don't wait for your moment because the perfect moment is now and stop hunting perfectionism, otherwise, you have to say goodbye to productivity.

7. Skipping Short Breaks  

Are you a person who doesn't believe in taking daily breaks? Oops! bad news for you.


The latest studies have shown that employees who take breaks after every hour of work continue to be more successful. It is strongly advised that you obey the 90-20 rule for breaks, which states you can take 20 minutes after every 90 minutes of work.
