Effective Tips on How to Be Productive and Call it a day…!

Hi 

I’m into HR Recruitment so have to manage the entire client’s requirement in the morning, and arrange them in the highest priority to the lowest (not urgent), passing on the vacancies and database to other team members, following up with the daily walk-ins, looking after the queries of yesterday, and in the end, managing my social accounts and whatsapp account as well as many candidates on daily basis approach me through different sources.

To make this list I’ve to start working an hour before from my daily working time also to manage everything in order I usually extend an hour more in the evening as well. Due to which all my personal task hobbies and extra work goes on loop and procrastinating them became a habit.

My personal life and work started messing up leaving behind all my hobbies like singing, animation, editing videos and writing. When we are not able to make proper balance in work, personal life and family it makes our mind unstable and we start making more mistakes, lose grip/interest in our work, and avoid meeting up with friends. Hence, end up doing nothing Productive.

I know almost everyone come across with this problem in their daily routine. Not to worry as I’ve few “very simple tips” on how to be managed and be productive as well.

There is a great myth deep rooted in our minds that doing hard, typical and complex things will only make a difference, but the truth is implementing simple and smart habits can easily make a huge difference in one’s life.

Let’s start step by step, remember no rocket science here, just few simple habits to include in your daily routine:

• Always begin your day with morning walk and meditation to keep you calm and fresh all day long. Even daily 2mins meditation would do.
• Good Breakfast: Breakfast provides the body and brain with fuel after an overnight fast. 
• By keeping your cell phone, social sites and other distracting things aside. Take a diary and make a list of things which you are supposed to do for your personal growth. 
• Now, in terms of your work, note down all the things what you are supposed to do not what others want you to do. For example: We usually go to office open mail and see what others have for us and because of which we miss our major task and it takes our most productive morning time, making us move faster due to lack of time we skip few important work.
• So, make a list of important work which has a great impact in terms of business or job and then see what others have for you on desk.
• Always do the major and important task in your peak productive time. Like for me it’s around 2-5pm.
• Learn to say NO! Do you remember attending a meeting which ends up with boredom and a complete waste of time? Saying NO can recapture valuable time that enhances your productivity.
• Multitasking means doing lot of things, but one at a time. Divide the tasks in steps and handle single task at a time this will allow you to keep more focus, and once finished, your mind becomes clear and ready to take another challenge.
• Driving down the road to reach your work station puts your mind in stress for a while due to traffic. Always keep a few mins gap, sip a cup of coffee/juice whatever suits you and then start your day.
• Avoid replying to unwanted marketing calls, emails, etc it takes your important time without even letting you know.
• Block out negativity and failures of past and start your day with fresh mood.
• Keep your desk clean it makes the working environment positive and you can focus more. 

 

Implementing these habits will not only keep you happy, but it will make your mind more relax and calm, here’s how:

• You get extra time for your family.
• You can concentrate on your hobbies which make your mood chill, keeping you productive all day long.
• Now you’re well organized so you go home early saving your evening time for other important work/family/friends.
• You get time to keep your body fit and healthy, which creates new ideas/plans.
• You can free time to help others as well.

 "It helped me a lot, not necessary that you implement everything all of a sudden, but try taking out one at a time and practice it unless you get it in your daily routine, without putting any extra effort."

By organizing my daily routine, I'm able to finish my important work as planned, which gives me some extra time to focus more on business growth, people management, and new ideas. 

 

“Make your today, better than yesterday”

Thank you for your time and patience, Have a wonderful day ahead !

Creativity Matters :)

               What does the word Creativity means and how to be more creative?

It is made from a word Create, lot of people think that creativity is all about coming up with lot of different ideas and stuffs, but it’s not like that.

Well, creativity is about creating things; it’s about coming up with new combinations, putting things together in new ways that are particularly valuable to other people.

But if you have created something and that is not valuable to someone else, then it’s not that creative as far as my concern. It’s not just brain storming, but it’s about making things more valuable for others.
Now, how can you be more creative in a day and implement more things and make it happen?


1. What is the number one priority in business now a days?
                                                                                                            

Is it: Profit, growth, managing people, hiring talents, creating good products, etc? No, the number one priority right now is avoiding distraction and interruption.


You’ll see the moment you begin your day the professionals out there will try to grab your attention by lot of different ways; whether that is a product marketing, sales call, some offers, marketing mails, etc, they have this all day long split testing to grab your attention. So, first of all we need to focus our mind and our attention of our body into the things that create the most Value to our business by leaving behind all distractions, and rather work for your customers, understand what's their desire and expectation from your product and how can you take it to their level of requirements by implementing the required changes.

2. When you wake up what you should do?

What people usually do, they check their emails, text messages, voice mail and getting on the things what other people expect them to do, put their mind on others agenda in short what they all have for them due to this what happens we get caught up and several hours of our morning productive time is wasted, then by the afternoon we remember, “ohh! That part of my business which we call making money may be now I should get into that”!


I suggest that put at least 2hours of your productive time for yourself where you don’t check your email, text messages or what others are looking for and rather invest that golden time for your business on how to make your products better, involve with your customers to understand the issues, improve your marketing. In business if we are not growing then we are actually not successful. If you do these thing systematically and make a practice or regular habit for your business, I’m sure you can dramatically increase your success and growth.


3. Prioritize things:

 
Make a list of things in the late night when you are about to sleep. When you are done, assign them in order of top priority to lowest. Stand by your commitment in the morning that first thing first and second thing not at all. For first productive hours work on the things that are most important for your business. You’ll see things are becoming more easier and manageable within a week or so and by doing so you’ll have some extra time left in the evening wherein you can be more creative or do a lot of different stuffs which you like for example what I do: I write articles, draw sketches, practice on my singing, play with children, etc. When you are able to do things which you love you’ll be able to focus more on your business. It will bring more peace, and will ultimately renovate you.


4. Engage with your employees personally don’t just stuck to email conversation that bring zeal in the team and the trust factor increases.


5. Do some exercise, morning walk and a little meditation is very important to stay more focused and energized throughout the day, laziness will end up in procrastinating things and in the end it will hamper your growth and business. Apart from this you’ll start looking Young as well. :)

Get worth of the most of your time spent. Remember if you are successful/serious entrepreneur of your business, you must be able to do a better job than any other employee do in your company.
