DAYS OF PRODUCTIVITY
12
Have a question for a colleague in your office?
GET UP AND WALK over to their desk. For every 20
minutes you spend sitting, you should spend 8
minutes standing and 2 in motion.1
1
SOMETIMES PRODUCTIVITY IS AS
MUCH ABOUT WHAT YOU DON’T DO.
Find 3 things that you can
delegate or automate.
2
Before you start your day, identify your
HIGHEST-PRIORITY TASK. Make progress on
it before you check your email.
3
Set aside time to LEARN TO
USE YOUR TOOLS AND SOFTWARE
MORE EFFICIENTLY. Review a
video tutorial or check out
the latest user tips.
4
Be strategic about when you
schedule your phone calls.
PICK A TIME OF DAY WHEN YOU
FEEL LIKE TALKING — and
are less likely to make
progress on other
kinds of work.
5
Don’t get overwhelmed
by a lengthy to-do list.
CHOOSE THE TOP PRIORITIES
and put the rest aside
(for now). Otherwise your
progress can get slowed
by all the other things
you’re thinking about.2
6
Put a stop to information overload. Have your
own “awards ceremony” and choose the very
best blogs, news sources, and experts to follow.
This lets you FOCUS ON THE INFORMATION THAT WILL
BE GENUINELY VALUABLE TO YOU and keep the rest
from taking up your bandwidth.
7
Have a few minutes? GO OUTSIDE FOR
SOME FRESH AIR. The levels of carbon
dioxide found in some indoor office
environments can decrease cognitive
performance by as much as 50%.3
8
Batch similar tasks together.
GET IN THE ZONE AND KNOCK
THEM OUT ALL AT ONCE.
9
THE MORE AUTOMATIC A
ROUTINE IS, THE BETTER.
Turn your most important
recurring to-do items
into daily, weekly, or
monthly rituals.
10
Don’t take your
physical workspace
for granted. Make sure
everything you need is
HANDY AND EASY TO FIND.
11
ANALYZE AND ITERATE! Pause and look
back at the end of the quarter and the
year to assess what worked and what
could work better. Get feedback from
your colleagues and other teams
on process improvement, and use
it to make things run even more
smoothly in the future.
