Tips On How To Be More Productive At Work
Virtually everybody wants to be more productive in their places of work. If they're recognized as being more productive than their average counterparts, they are more likely to be selected for raises, bonuses, and promotions in the future. Here are a few ways through which you can manage to boost your workplace productivity.
Meetings take tons of time
Although business meetings are considered to be very important in a face-to-face format, the necessity of having in-person, sit-down meetings is changing across the modern realm of business. If possible, opt out of having to be present for meetings in person and buzz in over telecommunication software.
Did you know that the average American employee wastes some 31 hours of their time in business meetings each and every month?
If that isn't an indicator that you should stop subscribing to the idea that going to such in-person meetings is a necessity, nothing in the world can serve as an indicator.
Stop doing multiple things at once
Even though you might feel like you're working more quickly when you multitask, it's actually the other way around. When you concentrate on just one thing, you are able to better apply your focus, concentration, and skills on the important things in life.
This is one of the easiest ways of being more productive in the workplace that you can find on this list.
Nootropics could help, too
Nootropics are memory supplements that are used to boosts users' memory capacities and other brain functions. Although they're not guaranteed to work, many people report saying that nootropics are great for boosting productivity in the workplace.
Take regular breaks to exercise at work
Although you can't expect to skip out on hours of work to exercise, you can reasonably expect to spend a few minutes out of each hour in the workplace on exercise.
Exercise that is done in people's places of work has been shown to make workers more productive, according to a group of researchers who work for either the Karolinska Institute or Stockholm University that published a piece of work back in 2011 in Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
No matter how long you exercise for or how intensely, you will largely be able to be more productive in the workplace after exercising. Plus, you'll get healthier just from exercising in the name of beefing up productivity levels.
Give your eyes a break
Many people in offices stare at computers for the entirety of their shifts. Considering that most people use their smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices for at least a few hours each day. Recent statistics show that adults across the United States, on average, spend some 215 minutes of each of their days on their mobile devices. Being on screens for so long isn't good for the body.
One way to prevent eye strain and to make your face muscles feel better is to regularly take a minute-long break or so from your computer-based work for every 20 minutes that you spend toiling away.
