Set weekly and daily targets

It is very important that you set your target for the week and for each day. Here, we are referring to the target you want to set in terms the actions you will take during the day and during the week to get the results (targets) which are probably set by your company.

Often, we have a tendency of not focusing on setting the target, what we need to achieve by end of the day and end of the week. Not having a definitive target can often give a sense of being directionless, which will result in low or zero motivation to do work.

In contrast, if this habit is applied we know a list of tasks and action to take during the given period. This makes us more effective in doing the work as well as keeps us motivated.

Set key morning tasks, before leaving work

It is a good habit to set the first few tasks for the next day by the end of the day before leaving for home. This helps you prepare yourself mentally for the work you are required the next day. This sets the tone for the day very well. As well as, it gives you a lot of room to let the work being processed in your mind.

Suppose for example, the first thing you have to do the next morning is to give some new ideas about a project. In this case, if you set this objective, your mind know you require ideas in the morning. The mind will thus, already start preparing itself to look for ideas.

Take breaks

It is very important to incorporate little break in your work routine. These can tea/coffee breaks or just a 10 minutes away from thinking or doing work. Taking small breaks as and when required will give your mind the time and space to refresh itself which makes it more effective to do the work, when you get back at it.

The theory behind this is that we have a given attention span, once that time passes it is difficult for us to focus and hence a short break is required. Some researches suggest that on an average, the human mind has a sustained attention span of 50 minutes to one hour. After this time passes, the mind is not able to focus on the same. Taking short breaks refreshes the mind and makes it ready to focus again.

Here taking breaks does not mean that you take a tea break after every hour of focused work time. That's not practically possible and is also not good for you. You can take some of these breaks as a tea or coffee break, some of these as spending five minutes chit chatting with a colleague, just walk to the water filter and have a few sips of water, etc. What you do in that break is your choice and it is best to include multiple things.

Deep breaths

Another life hack that can enable you increase your productivity quickly at work is taking deep breaths. Deep breaths ensure that you get enough oxygen for your body and mind. When there is plenty of oxygen the mind as well as the body is more relaxed and calm. When the mind and body are well relaxed you will be able to do your job better with the precision that is required.

So, next time you feel distracted and not able to focus on the task at hand, take five deep breaths and as you exhale your breath out tell yourself to be relaxed. You will see the immediate shift in yourself and your productivity will certainly improve.

Make it fun

Now, this one is simple and easy: Anything that we do not find interesting and find it boring and dull, we are not motivated to do that work. So either we keep postponing that or we do a bad job with it. If this has been happening to you too lately, it is time you evaluate yourself and your situation. See are being all too serious with no fun, if that is the case being productive at work will be a challenge. Look again at your situation and ask yourself how can you add some dash of fun to it. What can you do to make it more exciting, because if it is fun and exciting you will be more motivated to focus on it sub consciously as well as consciously.
