Hey Sis,
We all struggle with being productive every once in a while. We've shared our top tips and tricks to help with your productivity journey.
Here's our productivity: 101 guide.
"The effectiveness of productive effort, especially in industry, as measured in terms of the rate of output per unit of input."
In simpler terms, productivity is how much effort is put into a job and how quickly it is accomplished. Being productive is working hard and getting good results.
TIME MANAGEMENT
Look, we all can struggle with time management, but once we hack it - it is easy. The easiest way to improve your productivity is to have good time management. Time management is the process of organising and planning how to divide your time between different activities. Get it right, and you'll end up working smarter, not harder.
"WORK SMART NOT HARD"
Divide your time by what is most important, if you have 10 things to do that day, write a list starting with the most important to the least important and start your tasks based on this. Setting goals is important - celebrate the small wins! These are still wins after all.
INTEREST
The best way to stay productive in tasks is to enjoy it. If your at university - pick a subject you are genuinely interested in and your productivity will follow. It is hard to stay productive over something you do not care about. Don’t get us wrong, every once in a while we all have to things we don’t want to. But ensuring you pick subjects, jobs, activities that you have an interest in will keep you working productively.
ORGANISED
Our top tip to staying organised - WRITE A LIST.
There is nothing simpler than writing out a to do list on paper and having it on your desk with you. As you work through your tasks you will get a thrill when ticking off each activity. Stay organised and manage your time correctly and productivity will become natural to you. Invest in a weekly planner where you are able to plan your days, weeks and even months. Here’s a link to our favourite planners - invest in your life and good things will follow.
ENVIRONMENT
This might sound silly, but, create an environment around you which will help you succeed. Don't sit in bed all day with your laptop on your lap - create a space which is for your work. Invest in your work and invest in your future.
Get up, do your skincare, practice mindfulness, even do a half an hour yoga before you begin your days work. Preparation is the first step to being productive. Create a good routine for your body and mind and the productivity will follow.
PRIORITISE
You must focus on the most important.
After you have written all your lists, decide which ones are most important and which ones are the biggest priority. It is easy to fall into the habit of "I'll do that tomorrow" or "I can finish that later". Be Realistic. Don't stretch yourself out by saying yes to everything. It is more than okay to put yourself first. Say Yes to you.
HEALTHY BODY - HEALTHY MIND
Don't get it wrong, work and prioritising is important, but you come first. Research has shown that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind.
A balanced diet, rich in essential nutrients, drinking lots of water and pairing with regular exercise, will ensure that you maintain a healthy, happy sense of physical and mental wellbeing, even around stressful exam times and deadlines.
