Working in a group environment has its perks, however being surrounded by people might get a bit distracting. Here are some tips on how to increase your productivity when working in a group setting:
- Hold yourself accountable to the tasks you need to complete: Write down the tasks for the day and tick them off as you complete them. In fact The Focus Journal was created for that exact reason; to help people finalise their goals for the day by ensuring that every task is written and completed effectively. Practicing self discipline with yourself will lay a good foundation for productivity and health.
- Make sure to take regular breaks: Your mind is an organ, and organs need to rest for optimal performance. Studies have shown that with your brain works optimally when given a 17 minute rest, after a 52 minute work period.
- The 80/20 rule: The 80/20 rule is simple, what 20% of your workload is driving 80% of your results? Once you identify what works, stick to it and foster it, versus spending countless hours yielding minimal results.
- Avoid repetitive routines: Boredom kills productivity. Make sure you engage with the people around you on your breaks, and pencilling in time to boost your creativity.
- Reward yourself for a job well done: Finished the proposal on time? Reward yourself with that over-priced Mocha Frappuccino you’ve been craving. Set goals for yourself, and set the reward you would like to have once you finalize your task.
