10 tips Improve Your Productivity MENTAT 1. Divide up your to-do list To do list In order to achieve maximum productivity in all aspects of your life, it's import- ant to first divide before you start to conquer. Create separate lists for tasks related to your work responsibilities, social life, and other commitments or involvements that require your time. 2. Prioritize your to-do list After dividing up all the tasks you need to do into categories, it's time to exam- ine and figure out which are the most important and urgent. This helps to stay on task and avoid getting overwhelmed by having to stare at a long list. 3. Set allocated social media time Get rid of the Facebook app. Sign out of your twitter on your computer. Log out of Instagram and stay off of Linkedin while you're working. Having a set time each day to check social media is a great way to eliminate distractions and be productive while working. 4. Set timers to complete specific tasks Have an overflowing email inbox that you could spend the entire work day reading through and responding to messages? Give yourself a time limit with a timer you can see visually and respond to as many as you can in the allotted time frame. 5. Use organization apps Nowadays there is an app for literally everything. In our technology based society, it's to your advantage to use ones that can help you accomplish all the things you need to do. Evernote, Asana, and slack are just a few to get you started. 6. Wake up earlier One of the most common habits across the board for highly successful people: setting an early wake up alarm. The more things you can set yourself to accom- plish before lunch time, the better. 7. Structure your day Having an agenda is an important start to getting your days organized, but breaking it down farther can help to increase productivity dramatically. Instead of using a planner just to write down important dates, deadlines, and appoint- ments, go a step farther and breakdown each day into chunks of time. 8. Create a productivity playlist For a lot of people, having soothing or slightly upbeat background music can be very helpful to motivate them to get things done. There are lots of playlists and song com- pilations on SoundCloud, YouTube, Spotify and that you can choose from. 9. Silence your phone or leave it out of sight during peak work time Out of sight, out of mind. When you're at work or sitting at home focused on something, stay focused. Leave your phone on silent and where %23 you cannot see it to avoid being distracted. It can be difficult at first but after awhile becomes a normal aspect of your work day. 10. Eat a healthy breakfast and drink lots of water in the morning Having energy and proper hydration in the morning is vital to jumpstart your day and dig right into your to-do list. Feeling sluggish and sleepy will lead to an unproductive and slow starting morning. Pack high-protein snacks or foods that you can eat later in the day, and drink plenty of water.
