5 Tips to Hyper Boost Your Productivity

It shouldn't really come as any big surprise to hear that increasing your productivity can lead to greater profitability and a better reputation for your business.?Therefore, it is advantageous for you to want to boost your productivity, but it is not always something that is so easy to achieve, especially without a plan.?We need to be intentional about it, or it's like anything that we go at half assed, we might as well throw spaghetti at the wall and pray it sticks.

That being said, here are five tips that can greatly boost your productivity, as well as your profitability and reputation.

First, be sure to get plenty of rest.?I know I know, sounds counter intuitive right, I mean when you are already drowning in a to do list the length of your arm, and juggling so many plates you're starting to feel dizzy.

Many entrepreneurs, both men and women alike, especially those with online businesses, think they must be behind the computer and/or mobile device 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, to make it big online.?The truth is is that having such a mindset is just going to weaken you, cause to lose focus, and even cause you to lose motivation because virtually no one can just sit at a computer or behind a mobile device all day and do nothing else.?

Even on product launches, you can’t afford to do “all-nighters” in the name of ensuring the launch goes well because you are likelier to mess up a critical aspect of the launch because of little to no sleep.

Second, break down large tasks into smaller tasks.?Too often, many people will become overwhelmed and even paralyzed by a large task.?They’ll slow down their productivity to a crawl and take forever to complete the task, just because it “looks” large.?By breaking down the large task into smaller, more easily-managed tasks, you’ll be able to complete that task in less time than you think.

Third, outsource to other people tasks you don’t do well.?Many online entrepreneurs think they must do every aspect of a product launch or other online venture.?The truth is, by hiring and utilizing other people to do tasks they are skilled at doing, aka staying in your zone of genius or at the very least excellence as Gay Hendricks so eloquently put it, you can concentrate more on tasks you do well, making the overall project a better success in a shorter period of time.

Fourth, take regular breaks.?Most experts suggest taking 15 minutes for every hour; therefore, you should work 45 minutes, rest 15 minutes.?Working non-stop will only drain your focus and your motivation to do the work, leading to less production and lower-quality work because of more mistakes.?That's why short burst prductivity is so popular and effective, because the results speak for themselves, so go ahead and give something like the Pomodoro method a try today, you'll be amazed at just how much you can get done.

Fifth, track each day in terms of goals you want to achieve and how well you do in achieving them.?You’ll never boost your productivity if you don’t know where you are falling short in your goals and why you are falling short.?You need to plan out each day in terms of tasks and goals you want to complete, then analyze why you fall short and taking steps to improve your productivity so you don’t fall short of completing tasks and goals in the future.?
