Hi there! If you are reading this then I am sure you are struggling just like me to be productive. I think we can think through and find our answers here! We know that being productive at work and in personal life are two very different things so let's break this into two sections. We shall discuss on being productive in personal life first and then plan our productivity at work. The definition of personal life is unique to everyone. For some, it is just taking a break from the busy world and going into their own little universe, for some it is complete the chores while someone else it can be to work on their side hustle. Some of us are lucky enough to stay at home without their laptops and some of us lucky to work ( Trust me, some of us really do enjoy the job!). Let us talk about people who are lucky with no laptops first. We have had so much extra time that we have been postponing our extra small works most of the time. We postpone laundry for the next day, cleaning vessels at the end of the day, and sometimes, we postpone even thinking about our hobbies. One of the ways to fix productivity issues here can be pursuing your extremely favorite hobby. These hobbies need not be big ones like gardening or trying to cook daily as these might be big ones and we already have list of excuses for big tasks, don’t we! We can try to start on something really small, like for instance, coloring (this is my fav! It needs no brain), painting, going for a walk, or maybe simply try on some makeups or we can think of working on our one big dream, remember the dream you saw 5-6 years ago, let’s start planning it out by fixing one hour/day. I know we started to fix the productivity issue but hobbies are gonna help us fix it. How? Hobbies are going to consume more than an hour of the day so we can’t really procrastinate anything much. Because, if you do, you may not get time to work on your hobby which we are really enjoying. We don’t wanna give up on something that we are actually loving, right? So let’s divide our work as pre-hobby-tasks and post-hobby-tasks. As the name suggests, we can decide the tasks we want to complete before investing our time in the hobby. These tasks will be important ones because we want to keep our mind calm while enjoying our hobby and not be constantly thinking about that important task. Post-hobby-task will be much of the tasks that are really small ones, stressless ones as that our mind remains happy. Also, you know what is the bonus? Satisfying sleep at night( who doesn’t love it now?!). When we are busy and happy, we will have a calm mind that will help us sleep well. Let us talk about people who are lucky with laptops. I know this is definitely difficult with all the challenges. We are used to be productive only in our work environment right? With everyone around us working, walking around in a restricted environment, being all professional, we are used to such space, and in our mind, we think, we can only be productive there. I have been there, but we don’t have a choice right now. We can not go to our ideal workspace now to be productive but we can create one such space in our mind. First of all, let’s try not to hate our job when there is lots of work. Let’s try to prioritize our tasks. Before that, we have to create an office environment in our mind. So we have to first fix up our office timing. I know it gets (sometimes) difficult to be up in front of laptops sharp at 9 am. But also, there is good news, if we start at 9 am we can close our systems by 6 pm( 9 hours of work). 6 pm is still evening. So we still have so much time to actually enjoy our day. So mainly, we can say to be productive we need 2 important information, firstly, prioritizing and secondly, knowing the deadline. There are good chances that sometimes we don’t know the deadline. In such cases, we can create our own deadlines (yay! Cause we will be in charge!!). After this, we can either write in the system or put a sticky note stating the job for the day. All you have to do is check the list! Does not that sound less complicated than before? To make it more interesting, you can use color codes for all types of priorities and deadlines. Let’s use happy colors there so that our space won’t be dull. All of us don’t really have a separate room. It gets difficult to work and be productive because of too many distractions. I think we can try 2 little things here, first one would be to make sure that the day’s task list is always visible and secondly, wear headphones( I know it sounds a little silly but chances of you being distracted reduce a bit for sure). One more thing we can do it, keep track of how much work is being done each day so we can be proud of ourselves. But you know what’s more important now? To do the job you actually love. Yes, I am talking about your dream job. I know you think it is not really possible to switch or get a dream job during the pandemic. But Say No More!! You can find your dream Ful time Job/ Part Time Job/ Internship/ Freelancing Opportunities/ Work from Home on Snypjobs now! Isn’t it exciting? Have a look and decide for yourself! Your dream job is just a click away! :)
