Imagine your'e at work and you have a lot of tasks to complete, but your'e just not
able to complete them in the given time and then you might get feedback from your boss
saying, You know what your'e not being very productive. So what is this productivity and
how can you be highly productive at work? Well, If you wanna know about that, you are
at the right place. Today we're gonna learn tips to become highly productive at your workplace.
Welcome to Skillopedia. My name is Rima and today I'm gonna share with you, Tips on how
you can become highly productive at work. Now the first tip and this one I use like
a golden rule. It's called learn to prioritize, that's right. Now you may have heard from
many people that keeping a priority list of tasks actually helps. Well, let me tell you
one more time. It does help and it helps in a big way, so in case your'e somebody, who
ends up doing a lot of things at the same time or tries to complete their tasks and
It's always a race against time, what you need to do is you need to make a to do list
and prioritize your tasks according to their urgency or according to their importance and
the important thing to do is stick to this to do list, that's right. Do not digress and
start at the top and finish at the bottom and as an when you keep finishing your tasks,
keep taking them off your list, coz this will give you a lot of confidence, a lot of positivity
and it will encourage you to work faster. Now in an office environment, It's always
possible that you have your to do list, but there are lot of people, who have their to
do list and they might expect you to work on their tasks first. Make sure that as far
as possible, you stick to your to do list, because ultimately when you finish your to
do list, that's when you are gonna be coming out as highly productive. So like I'm saying
always and always learn to prioritize and stick to your tasks list.
Now the next tip in order to be highly productive at your work place is, Always, always avoid
all distractions. Now when I'm talking about distractions, I'm talking about your cell
phone. The games on your cell phone. I'm talking about all the social media sites. I'm talking
about online surfing or gaming, whatever that you waste time in. All of these things can
be good distractions, good diversions. But not when your'e busy at your work place. Make
sure that once you get to work, you focus on the tasks at hand. You give your hundred
percent to your work, because if you waste time getting distracted by all these various
social or technological distractions. You are going to pay by losing your productivity.
So I repeat myself, make sure that you focus on your work at all times and absolutely avoid
all distractions.
The third tip that I have for you is slightly different. It's not something regular or run
up the mill, but It's highly important, which is why I'm gonna take it slow here. Make sure
that you shield yourself from negativity. Now work places have many people, different
people have different natures, different perspectives, which is why sometimes work places can be
breeding grounds for negativity, gossip and some sort of interpersonal differences. Now
If you have a work place, that suffers from all of these things. What you have to do is,
You have to shield yourself from this negativity and focus on your work. Now how do you shield
yourself from this negativity? Do not indulge in gossip sessions, do not indulge in small
talk during work hours. Probably only when your'e taking a break. Also don't take what
you hear or what people speak about to heart. Focus on your work a hundred percent. Make
your work your highest priority. In fact people say that, when your'e working, It should be
like a sort of a meditation, that's how focus you need to be. So don't let anybody's opinions
or words affect you and trust me, If you master this, you will be the king of productivity.
Now when your'e working in an organization. It's very, very normal that you always look
for approval or acknowledgement from the people around you, your colleagues, your bosses.
But I'm saying, If you want to be highly productive approve of yourself. Each time you do something
fantastic at work, do not keep looking for approval outside of yourself from other people
or from your seniors, because if you don't get the approval your'e looking for, you will
end up feeling very discouraged and demotivated. So if you want to keep your motivation levels
high always compete only with yourself and always keep appreciating and approving of
yourself and your work. That way you'll be focused on your work and you will be highly
productive at your work place.
The next tip that I have for you in order to become highly productive is a golden one,
It says, Forget and erase past failures. Now it always happens that sometimes, we end up
making mistakes at work, sometimes we're not at our best. Sometimes we face small failures,
It happens to everybody, but if your'e going to hold on to a past failure and replay it
in your mind every time your'e faced with a difficulty or a challenge at work. You are
not gonna be able to get very far, In fact that fear, that insecurity, that memory will
cripple you and it will stop you from achieving any success further, so make sure that you
let go of all your past mistakes and failures. Treat each moment like It's a new moment and
focus on your work and that will take you ahead on the path to high productivity.
The next tip that I have for you is slightly difficult to execute. If you want to be highly
productive at work. You have to learn not to be overwhelmed. Work places are hubs of
stress, you know urgency. Too many things happening at the same time, It's very easy
to get overwhelmed, when your'e stressed, when your'e challenged. It's easy to loose
your temper, It's easy to be slightly rude, It's easy to look confused. But that's what
you have to master. Now if you want to become the master of productivity, learn to be able
to control your emotions, control your mind. In fact master your mind and emotions, so
that you don't appear confused or distracted or stressed or overwhelmed in crucial situations.
When you show your calm and cool collected response in social situations and actually
get on top of your tasks, that's when you will be appreciated by all and everyone will
want to emulate your productivity.
My last tip for you in order to become highly productive at your work place is last but
not the least and it says, Keep on learning. Now it often happens that once your'e done
with your education, the learning stops. But let me tell you that learning is life long
task and you must commit to this task in order to remain relevant and productive. So your
responsibility at your work place or any job or any work that your'e doing is to continuously
keep learning, keep updating yourself, keep upgrading your skills and to keep working
on self enhancement and self improvement. When you do so you get newer ideas, new avenues
open up and your productivity is increased, because your general motivational levels to
keep on doing better and better at work continue to increase lifelong, so make sure you do
not give up on the books on the knowledge. Keep on learning and you will see yourself
becoming an expert at being productive.
