• Because CLARITY means FOCUS means PRODUCTIVITY.

Here are 5 must follow basics that if followed will let you squeeze more productivity out of every single work hour of your day.

• 1. Make organization a top priority. While it might seem counterproductive to spend time planning how to utilize your time, generating lists of activities to do, and creating organizational schemes, it saves time in the longer run. Do this at the end of the day. Review what has been accomplished today. And plan what the most crucial task for tomorrow shall be. It will help you to begin the day efficiently right from the first minute, and assure that you continue being sharp throughout the day. Executing is very easy, when all you need to do is to just following through step after step – which is what you have defined the day before.
• 2. Your workplace organization is key to efficient and focused work execution. What ever crosses your eyes on a cluttered desk will consciously or unconsciously reach your mind, and all of that are bits of data that have to be processed by your brain. Whether you like it or not, your brain capacity gets busy with completely redundant things taking away resources from what you should be focusing on full power, if you have all kinds of redundant things crowded on your desk.

• 3. Try working from your talents. Are you a morning person or perhaps you don’t really hit your stride until just after lunch? Observe your natural rhythm, and figure what are your most productive instances in a day, and plan the majority of of your crucial work during these time frames. Those occasions when you are lacking energy and drive are more suitable for routine and repetitive tasks, and are also perfect for the tasks you love most, so they come easy anyway.

• 4. Be aware and stay away from unnecessary time use. For instance, you could limit your email checking and message callbacks to first thing each and every morning and right after lunch. What is crucial with this is to define the time bucket for this. Make it 20 or 30min if required, but then strictly stick to it, and under no circumstances go beyond the set limit. Set a timer to remind you. If the telephone uses your day, let individuals leave messages and call them all back during specific time blocks. Social networks should be avoided during your working hours, as time tends to slip away. They are highly distracting and they hardly bear much value nor do they usually contain urgency. You can always get back to those later that day, like for example in the evening. But even then to keep it under control, schedule a defined time bucket for it, and stop it when your set time frame is over. Otherwise those things could easily throw you off and dissolve your work focus or completely eat up the precious time at the end of the day.

• 5. Learn how to say no. Time is a fixed resource that should be spent prudently on what most has to be done. Highly productive people are very selective with what they choose to use their time for. Learn to be comfortable with saying no, and just say yes to the most vital and beneficial tasks and people in your business. It will help you remain focused on doing your key things well as opposed to dilute your time resource by trying to please everyone at the price of neglecting your own progress. Always remember – time is the only thing you can never return. Either you’ve used it. Or it just disappeared forever.
