Be More Productive

Everyone of us aspires and desires to become more productive in our career and professional life. Unfortunately, being more productive is not directly correlated to hard work, it has something to do with changing up our processes, inventing new way of doing things and overcoming the traditional rules of thumb. Each one of us is brought up with unique methods, styles and values. Hence the definition of success and productivity also differs from person to person. In the literal sense, increasing productivity refers to an increase in output with the same amount of input or generating the same output with less input.rnFrom dictionary.com: pro•duc•tiv•i•tyrn[proh-duhk-tiv-i-tee, prod-uhk] Show IPA rnnoun 1.the quality, state, or fact of being able to generate, create, enhance, or bring forth goods and services: The productivity of the group's effort surprised everyone. rn2.Economics. the rate at which goods and services having exchange value are brought forth or produced: Productivity increased dramatically last year. 3.Grammar. the ability to form new words using established patterns and discrete linguistic elements, as the derivational affixes -ness and -ity. This definition of productivity holds true in all circumstances and examples. So the first step towards increasing your productivity is to realize that you actually desire to increase your productivity and believe that it is possible if you give 100% to it. It is a common belief that nothing “perfect” exists in this universe, so we are always striving for improvement and moving towards perfection. Once you realize and accept that change is necessary to increase your productivity and that it is possible to bring about that change, your mind is open to accept the new required changes to gain the desired outcome or increase in productivity. Think about the change you want to bring so often that your subconscious mind starts believing in the change. Give voice to your desire. Start expressing your desire and do not hesitate to ask for help from a suitable coach or guide; someone who can help you see a different angle and/or help you see the bigger picture. You might fail and be discouraged initially but there is no one under the sky who has got 100% success with 0% failure. It holds true for each and every individual. What varies is the percentage of failure and your ability to get up and start over again, once you’ve been knocked down by failure. Be ready to accept failures and modify your course of action to try again. One thing is for sure that you cannot expect different results by doing the same thing over and over again. If you expect different results, you must be ready put in extra efforts to identify and implement new modified course of action for better results. To make all this possible, all you need to do is give yourself the tiniest bit of more time than you currently have. Start your day a little early and feel the benefits of getting routine work done in the morning before your competitors have even reached their work place. This will provide a little more time and huge peace of mind to think about yourself, your desires and your goals; first because you’ll be ahead of your workload and second because you’ll have more time for yourself, free of any tension of pending work or backlogs. rnFor increased productivity, working hard or for more hours is not necessary; the only requirement is creating quality spare time to develop your complete picture of aspirations and yourrn
