Work smarter, not harder
Many people believe that the goal to higher productivity is simply to work more, but this is not always the right approach. If you work too hard, it can in turn, result in increased errors, lower quality work and lower productivity in the end. Instead, learn to work smarter. What does this mean? It means, for example, setting your priorities correctly or using the right software and modern technological tools.
Learn to delegate work effectively
Many managers hold the view that they should keep the important work to themselves. However, this is an unsustainable approach in the long run, which will sooner or later have a negative impact on your productivity and may even lead to burnout. Learn how to delegate work and effectively pass it on to your subordinates to free up your hands to focus more on strategic planning.
Prepare a plan of activities for each day
A good way to help you increase your own productivity is to plan your activities. Have periods of time scheduled each day during which you will focus on priority tasks, and don't forget to schedule time for unexpected events as well as for relaxation.
Practice mono-tasking
Mono-tasking, uni-tasking or single-tasking. These are all terms for an approach that stands in opposition to so-called multi-tasking. The idea behind mono-tasking is that you are fully committed to only one task at a time. Learn to jump from one thing to another less and instead experience the principles of deep work, as this is what will bring you a noticeable increase in your productivity.
