I can’t be the only one who constantly seems to wish for more hours in the day – am I? At work and home getting everything accomplished is nearly impossible. Since we can’t create more hours, we can work on ways to become more productive – both in the office and at home. Here’s a great guide to pulling it all together and figuring out how to become more productive.
How to Become More Productive in 24 Hours
- Prioritize. Developing a system of most important to least important is essential for plugging away. By getting the biggest tasks finished first, you’ll feel a great sense of accomplishment.
- If you can solve something quickly, then go for it. If things come up and you can get them off your plate right away, making the time now will make sense later.
- Schedule phone calls. It may seem silly to schedule phone calls when you could just pick up the phone, but knowing when these calls fit into your schedule will help balance your day.
- Give yourself a time limit and make your to do list fit within that schedule. Have to leave the office by 5pm? Make your schedule work for your time constraints.
- Take the time to get organized. Whether it’s email inbox or your kitchen, clearing the clutter will give you the space to become more productive.
What do you think – are these small steps you can take at home and at work to help you figure out how to become more productive?
