6 Must-Know Tips to Improve Your Productivity as a Professional...

I am a professional, and I know the important of any given task & as well as about my productivity or my performance. People always say that, there is nothing for free. So if you are productive then only you will get the appreciation and if not, then we all know the end result! 

So coming to today’s post, I have selected the top 6 tips, which can improve your productivity and your performance as a professional worker. I am following the same and now you can see I am back to my blog after 2-3 months. So the productivity tips which I will prefer to call “Mantras” are-

1. Always measure the received task, not the time- 

Whenever we get any task to complete, the first question we asked to our self is how much time it will take?? We always think about the time, but not about the task. According to me, we should always measure the given task and then based on the difficulty or nature of the task we should decide the time to finish the task properly. If you think and work in this way, I am sure you will be more productive compare to your past.

2. Priorities the task (Urgent / Important / daily task etc.)- 

Whenever you have more than one task to complete, then just take a deep breath and try to priorities your task. You can make those tasks under, Urgent, Important and maybe your Daily task. Then based on their priority try to so the task. It will not only help you to make more effective but it can also create a habit of prioritizing your all work, so that you can do them properly.

3. Benchmark the given target- 

Always create a benchmark for your entire task. In other word you can say, you must have a milestone to complete. Based on those benchmark or milestone, you can get an idea about your process and speed of finishing that task.

4. Be focused on the task – 

We are humans, and our mind is full of agility. Whenever we try to focus on something, some or the other thing will absolutely disturb us. So I will suggest that always try to be focused on your task so that you can do your work in a more productive way.

5. Always take a break after the task- 

Now this is one thing which I personally love a lot. I am sure that you will also love to have breaks to refresh your mood, but only after completing your task. Now some will say, I have so many tasks, then how can I go to refresh my mood?
So the answer is simple, just follow these tips, but make sure that you must take breaks between your tasks.

6. Always review the task before submitting it- 

I have got so many friends, who always make a simple mistake and send the task/email/report to their boss. We all know that the mistake is very minimal but boss will boss, he will show you the importance of all the little mistakes. So if you don’t want to listen the importance of little mistakes, then just review your work before submitting it to your higher authority.

Work hard for your own future...

This time I have an interesting motivational story for you all, but before the story I want to tell you something. China is famous for the hard way of flourishing their child. Their moms are so called Tiger mom’s around the world. They use very hard ways to grow their child. If you want to know more about it, you can just search in Google and you will get all the information.

So coming back to our topic, in India also so many people feel that, if the child has seen a hard time or a hard way of life, then he became more successful with compare to other child who was grown in a very rich or we can say in a lovely way.

My parents had told me lots of stories of those children who are not rich and they don’t have good facilities, but then also they have succeeded in their life. You can read about so many people who have faced the bad time, and then only they got the success.
Based on this, I got an interesting and motivational story which will indicate the same thing. The story is something like this-

A father was working very hard in his form, and he was continuously telling his son to work hard. After watching this for quite a long time, his friend says, you have very good land, you are getting good return also, and then why are you forcing your son to work more hard? He is already working very hard!

Then the father replied, I am telling my son to work hard, not for the land or the return, but for the future of my son. If he learns to work hard, then always he will get a good return out of it.

So according to me the moral is, you have to work harder and harder to get a bright future.

Two Types Of People...

In my point of view there are two types of people in the world. The one, who believe in telling others, and the other one who believe in doing, rather than blaming to others.

Today I will give an example which I have studied when I was a school kid. The story goes like this. One day a farmer, walking down the street in a small town came across a large stone in the middle of his path.

The farmer complained: "Who could be so careless as to leave such a big stone on the road? Why does someone not remove it?" He went away complaining.

The next day, the same thing happened with a milkman. He too went away grumbling but left the stone as it was.

Then one day, a student came across the stone. Worried that someone may fall over it and hurt himself, he decided to push it aside.

He pushed long and hard all by himself and eventually managed to remove the stone from the path.

He came back and noticed a piece of paper where the stone was kept.

He picked the paper and opened it. Inside was written, "You are the true wealth of this nation."

There are two kinds of people - talkers and doers.

Talkers merely talk, while doers do.

The moral of this story is that if you don't want to get involved you have no right to criticize. Become the change you wish to see in this world then only you will change the world…

Our Failures...

Most of us play computer games and enjoy very much our winning. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. If we win we will go to the next round but if we fail than we play again & again the same stage until we defeat our enemy. I can bet most of us very familiar to this situation and it’s very good. We always want to win and go to next stage but if we fail than we have to play the same stage again. This is very much related to our life but if this situation comes in real life, when we fail again & again than we feel negativity and lose our hope. Remember that your failures are the seeds of your most glorious successes. We all know that it’s very difficult to be natural & calm when we are losing. Be sad, but don't despair. An inventor fails hundreds of times, and if he wins once, he's in. He treats his failures simply as practice shots. There is no failure for the man who realizes his Inner power. There is no failure for the man who gets up every time he falls, who rebounds like a rubber ball, who persists when everyone else gives up, who pushes on when everyone else turns back. So don't be fear of your failure be strong because your failure is your success path…

Don't Complain...

In our earth, almost all the people are not happy with their work, life, situation etc. Always complaining about one or the other things. Sometimes I also do same because its human nature, we can't escape from the negativity only we can try to escape. For me and all the people who are out of their home, who are believe that they are poor, its very hard to control in our thought. But I always suggest to all that don't complain about the food we eat, don't complain about the cloths we wear, because there are some people who don't have food to eat. I saw some people complain about getting old, but they forgot that there are many people who die in young age. Most of the people who are doing their job, always complaining about their job, but they have to think of those people who don't have a job. We all know that its very difficult to control our negative thought but some grate people said that "When sad thought and difficulties seem to put you down, paint a smile on your face and thank GOD you are still around." Our life is a gift so live it well..
