Statistics show that the average employee wastes 2.1 hours of work each day. This means that every 11 minutes of work, we are distracted by emails, Facebook, and “chatting”… And then we take up to 25 minutes to refocus on our tasks.
No matter who you are, work productivity is a top concern if you want to achieve long-term goals in your career and life. If you are an employee, increasing your productivity is crucial for career advancement. If you are a leader, boosting business productivity can improve results and foster better growth.
In today’s world filled with distractions, it is challenging to maintain focus to enhance productivity and manage tasks effectively. However, it is not an impossible task.
For instance, if you are someone who lacks a proper task management method and often procrastinates, try applying the “eat the frog” method. Mark Twain once said: “Eat a live frog in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” This can be simply understood as if you tackle a very difficult task at the beginning of the day, then nothing else will seem as daunting for the rest of the day. So, start your day by identifying the most important task and completing it first.
