More More and More productive ...

How to be more productive in work and in personal life?

Be Fast 

  • Always try to do tasks quickly with acceptable quality. The quality of the work shouldn't decline.
  • Always think what to do next ..., next ,,, next. Keep your mind less idle ... always think what next, next,...
  • Walk Fast Act Fast

Getting involved in Idle time

  • Always think about pending work in your idle time. 
  • Think about pending tasks when you are in toilet, driving, while watching TV, etc and make plan if required
  • While watching TV you can pay bills, sell something in on-line,etc

Not getting sleep?

  • If you are not getting sleep in the night, instead of watching entertainment videos, try to read books or work on pending office work
  • Don't be afraid that if you sleep less, then you won't productive in office next day. If you had less sleep in previous day, just work little enthusiastically and you can still manage to finish the day doing considerable amount of pending task.
  • I can manage to work full day with 3 hours sleep in previous night. But I sleep well next day (8 hours) to regain the energy.

Starting the day

  • Start the day with the task you left unfinished yesterday, work on it for at-least 15 mins, before you switch to checking mails or any other urgent task
  • Example start your day looking into your yesterday's unfinished code, compile it without making any change, run it, test it. Add a print statement, compile & test it. 

Distractions

Facebook, News websites, etc

  • Distractions are unavoidable. You might have habit like browsing news, Facebook, mails, etc
  • You can't stop looking into Facebook or news, but train your mind to come-out of it ASAP. For example, login to Facebook, glance it quickly for 3 mins, logout. Do it same for news websites. 
  • Just remind your mind the pending task you need to finish

Caffeine at work

  • Taking coffee/tea, smoking will rejuvenate few people. Don't take long tea/coffee/smoking breaks, finish it ASAP (less than 5 mins)
  • Make it practice to have tea/coffee while working itself

Music at work

  • You can do certain tasks with your favourite music like coding, which actually rejuvenates you to work more. 
  • But don't listen to music while writing/reading important mails.It needs more attention

Exercise

  • You can mix the exercise along with work. If you get struck or tired with work, go for 15 mins brisk walk around your office
  • Post-lunch if you are feeling sleepy, go for 15 mins brisk walk.
