How to improve productivity?

I improve my productivity by managing my time efficiently. For many years now, I have had the habit of making a To-Do list. And I start by doing one after the other and once the activity is completed I make a tick mark. At the end of the day, I am happy I achieved most of the tasks.

Let us list down what are the various ways to improve productivity at work.

1. Time management: I prioritize my tasks & set achievable goals and deadlines.
2. Organizing workspace: I ensure that my work area is clean, organized and conducive to productivity.
3. Taking breaks: I take regular breaks to reduce stress, increase focus and recharge my energy levels.
4. Eliminating distractions: I avoid distractions like email notifications, social media, and excessive ambient noise.
5. Staying motivated: I set challenging yet achievable goals. I reward myself for achieving them.
6. Continuously learning: I keep myself updated with new techniques, tools and information in my field.
7. Collaborating with colleagues: Working with others can increase efficiency and it can provide a fresh perspective.
8. Managing stress: We should identify what is causing the stress. Then, we can find ways to manage them. We can practice relaxation techniques or start exercising or do meditation. I meditate regularly and it helps.
