Productivity Hacks

To maximize your productivity, you must first examine your current habits and identify the areas for improvement. Productivity doesn't always mean being busy, rather getting stuff done in the most efficient way possible. We often stick to what we know because for the most part, it works. However, optimizing your productivity can have a huge impact on your task list, career and overall feeling of achievement. Here are some tips to improving your productivity:

• Brain Dump
  Write down all of the tasks that you need to get done in the day, then prioritize them in order of most important to least important.
• Stop Multitasking
  A lot of us feel as though we're doing multiple tasks at once, but that's actually not possible. Our brain rapidly switches between tasks rather than doing both, meaning we're not really focused on either one. For maximum efficiency, focus on one task at a time before switching your attention.
• Split Up Your Time
  The human mind can only concentrate efficiently for a certain amount of time. Different researchers have found different numbers for this, though it really depends on the person. Splitting your time up into work periods and breaks allows you to maximize your time and efficiency, making you more productive.
• Eliminate Distractions
  Whilst this one may seem really obvious, it's very difficult to do. Shutting off your phone or placing it in another room, closing all unnecessary apps and even working in silence if that's how you're the most productive. Distractions mean your brain isn't focusing on the task at hand, so take note of what distracts you and find ways to eliminate those distractions.
