Increasing Productivity

When you wake up each day what is the first thing you tell yourself? I tell myself the same thing most days, especially during the school year, which is to have a productive day. Being productive can mean different things to many people, but for me, it means getting my work done in the smallest amount of time possible. Being in a rigorous school where I am bombarded with school work, being productive each day is crucial for me. It helps me alleviate stress and helps me enjoy my life. I am sure this applies to many other people as well as most of us have very busy lives. However, being productive is not easy and can be very challenging, especially in the modern day where we have a ton of distractions.

The first step in being productive is knowing all the work you need to get done for the day. Last year in striving to be productive I actually just found myself working the whole day every day and not having much fun. To help fix this problem in the morning each day I would make myself a list of tasks I wanted to get done for the day. This allowed me to know when I could stop working, so I didn’t just work the whole day.

After this, the next step for me was making sure I made the most of my school work time. I noticed the amount of time I got to work in school. I initially spent it just talking to friends, but once I started using it properly it made my work at home a lot less, which was good. Finally, the last step for me was making sure when I was at home I had a distraction-free environment whenever I was working. It can be very easy to be distracted by your phone and browse through social media. I recommend keeping your phone in a totally different room to the one you are working in if you have this problem.

Overall, these making these simple changes helped me significantly increase my productivity. Doing this can help you enjoy your life a lot more and can help you have a lot less stress. I highly recommend you to give this a try.
