It doesn't need to explain why we are busy all day long. We are to do lot of works everyday. We don't have much time for relaxing, for recreation. We are human.

How to Make Your Day More Productive

 
Begin the day with goal in mind: Why you need to be productive? The answer is simple - to achieve goal.

When I was discussing this issue with one of my colleague, he replied, we do a day job, we don't have any goal there, why do we need to be productive?

Why not?

We are working to achieve company's goal and thus our own goal. If you help to achieve company's goal, company will give you incentives, will increase your salary. Ultimately, you are building your career. So, please don't think, why we you need to be productive in a day job. Simple.

Start your day with a To-Do list: Make a list of everything - what you should do today. Sort out important tasks. Don't take much time to make list. Because you have to update it several times for the day.

Start with most important task: Ok. You sorted out important tasks. Now start with most important task.

Update your list accordingly: After finishing your first important task of the day select next important task. And frequently update your list after completing every task.

Determine your best productive time: Not all are at best at same time in a day. Some can do more in the morning, some in afternoon and some in evening. Determine, in which time duration, you can be more productive. Try not to take rest at that time duration and do your most important task at that time.

Productivity is influenced by several things like healthy diet, adequate rest and being stress free. So think positive, have good food and take enough rest to jumpstart your next productive day.
