Get to Work! How to Be More Productive
TIPS 
Tags: productivity, work, getting things done, efficient, productive
Feel like you can't accomplish anything on time. Use these tips to increase your productivity and impress your boss.
| 1. | Take a break. You can’t always be working at optimum productivity. Instead, you should shoot for working in short bursts at your most productive times. |
| 2. | Set a timer for each of your tasks. |
| 3. | Eliminate all distractions. This includes the phone, email notifications, and having multiple web browsers open on the desktop. |
| 4. | Distractions should be avoided, but sometimes a bit of music in the background can help you focus. Of course, it doesn’t need to be heavy rock music, but a bit of Beethoven may do you some good. |
| 5. | Complete your most dreaded tasks first thing in the morning. Whichever activity you are dreading the most is probably the one you need to complete first thing in the morning. |
| 6. | Use JDarkRoom. This application allows you to write more efficiently by removing all distractions. You’re given an entirely blank page on which to type. This way, you’re not distracted by the web, e-mail, or IM. When you’re done, you can save your work as a text file. |
| 7. | Just start. Often times, starting is the hardest part. Once you get going, you will quickly get into a rhythm that could last for hours. |
| 8. | Everyone has a certain time of the day in which they are more productive than others. For me, it’s the morning. Find out when your prime time is for productivity and optimize your work schedule accordingly. |
| 9. | Keep a notebook and pen on hand at all times. This way, you can write down your thoughts, to-dos, and ideas at any time. The key is to get everything out of your head and onto paper. This way, your subconscious mind won’t be reminding you about it every other second. |
