The Myth of Productivity – When Less is More!

Hi

I know what it feels like when you just get overwhelmed by how much you feel you need to do, blog posts, social media posts, guest blogging, comments on forums – the list just goes on but guys its really important to bear these key points in mind

Myth No. 1 – Multitasking Gets More Done

Here’s another way to handle a time crunch – multi-task! If you can respond to emails while attending a webinar and vacuuming the floor all at the same time, you’re like a 4-armed productivity machine!

Except that there’s only one problem. You’re doing six tasks at once but not one of them is getting your full attention. And that’s what every task you do needs.

It’s the same as above – multitasking makes each task take longer and because only a portion of your brain is attending to it, you make stupid mistakes and bad decisions. In the long run, this kills your productivity.

Instead, you should do only one thing at a time and give it all of your concentration. Resist the urge to start another task while a program is loading or you’re chatting with someone on Skype.

Myth No.2 – Stay on Task to Stay Focused

Are you ever afraid to take a break because you won’t be able to get back into your work? Here’s a secret that most people don’t realize – your breaks are more important than your work time. They give you the fuel you need to keep going.

You should break your day up with lots of small breaks. When you feel your productivity and concentration starting to wane, take shorter breaks more often. During each break, get up from the computer. If possible, engage in some mindless and pleasurable activity. Don’t keep your nose to the grind stone.

These tips might seem to go against common knowledge, but don’t take it from me. Try it yourself and see if they work.

Thanks for sticking with me and I hope it’s been valuable for you.

Now, quit reading and put it all to use!

cheers
