We are always tiring to get to many task done in to little time! We need to change our perspective on productivity. We try to get to many things done in a certain amount of time but we do not have the time in the day to that. SO, You make look at being productive is being efficient but these are to different things. Productivity is getting something done. Now let’s look at being efficient! Efficient is the quality of what is being done! Unfortunately these are two different things that need to be identified so that you can put in perspective.
“Time management” is extremely important. What I did was I set up a google calendar and put in all the things I had to get done in one day. I prioritized the task by importance for that day. THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD ACCOMPLISH ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT I HAD TO GET DONE ON THAT DAY. Keeping in mind, that I wanted to be efficient with what I was doing. Instead of racing through everything for the day I stopped and realistically took a look at what I could do and still have time to breathe!! My goal was to be productive and efficient and have a life. I moved everything that I could not preform that day, to the next day.
DO THIS FOR A WEEK AND LET ME KNOW HOW IT WORKED OUT FOR YOU AND LEAVE ME A NOTE. Were you productive and efficient or just more frustrated?
