Don’t we sometimes feel overwhelmed when looking at our daily tasks? Don’t we all beat the tables in frustration when we see mountains of unfinished works piled up in front of us? In today’s world, it’s easy to get frustrated by endless distractions that we are not able to perform to our fullest potential. According to a research by Gallup, 87% of the workers worldwide are emotionally disconnected from the workplace and are likely to be less productive. Productivity is an issue that is bothering every organization that they often end up in no man’s land while searching for an answer to boost it.

Being productive is not just all about working hard, it’s more about working smart. It’s about proper planning, effective utilization of your resources and using the proper methodology in planning. So, instead of feeling crammed about the tasks that appear too daunting, focus instead on how to ensure you could do the things mentioned earlier.

Here are 5 tips to help you stay productive in your workplace. While we understand time is something not under our control but the secret to success is about using the time we have to our maximum advantage.

1. Start your day with a solid plan

The key to success is coming up with a proper action plan. Most of us start work in a hurry. As soon as we arrive, we start off with checking and responding to emails, hurriedly responding to service requests without giving the slightest thought about what’s in stake for us this day. All these activities are done without any planning. When you start planning ahead of what to do, you may easily dissect things that require immediate attention and things that can be done later. When you regularly follow this, not only you save time but also avoid exasperation.

2. Eat the frog first

It makes a lot of sense to do the tough task first. This is one of the main reasons that cause most of the workers worldwide to dread. The longer it stays on our shoulder the heavier it becomes. As Mark Twain observes “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day”’. By frog, Twain means it as the most daunting task that we are most likely to procrastinate. Once, you dispose it the other tasks appear very easy.

3. Set your own deadline to boost your productivity

Deadline is something that is inevitable in most kind of jobs these days. Most jobs require their employees to stick to a tight deadline which may appear inexplicably daunting to handle. But there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. Fix a personal deadline for you before the actual deadline. Avoid procrastination at any cost. It is proven that delaying things to its last minute just complicates it by magnitudes.

4. Develop an alternate morning routine & change to a healthy breakfast

If your daily routine is not helping you then it’s smart to look for alternate stuffs. A change of routine will bring about remarkable improvement in our productivity. Research indicates any activity performed on a regular basis will become a habit. For example, you can habituate playing any skill based online game for a few days. Skill based online games are proven to increase memory power and concentration.

5. Collaborate

When you are in a conundrum, it’s always wise to seek assistance from those who are good enough in that trade. At times, you can even collaborate to complete a task. As you collaborate you would get inputs from your partners that will allow you to gain a clear perspective on the task. By that way, you can finish the task ahead of time and increase your productivity.

By the way, you can create new habits only by constant practice. Consider practicing any of the ideas mentioned above and boost your productivity to move forward in your career.

Eventually, at some point in our lives, we all get into a creative rut. Ask any artisan or designer or even a musician, they all have faced creative rut at one point or the other in their career. In fact, they would describe that the creative rut they faced has inspired them to push beyond their limitations. Similarly, for writers, they call it as a writer’s block. A writer would make sure that immediate piece coming after a creative rut is memorable.

For many of us, creative rut occurs due to lack of inspiration. It’s not as if the creativity vanishes out of you all of a sudden on one dreadful day. It’s perfectly normal for ourselves to go into a shell once in a while. We must make sure we do not allow this creative rut to jeopardize our career in any way. Let’s get one thing straight – creativity does not come every time in bursts and waves. There might be some roadblocks; it’s completely natural to ebb at times. So if you’re in a creative rut, follow these simple steps that would help you channelize your inner energy and break out from your dry spell.

1. Try changing your routine

Are you someone who lives your life with a rigid schedule? If not you may want to reconsider. While there is no doubt that routines are great, they are probably necessary at different points of our lives but it could hamper your creativity at times. Try changing your routine for some period of time. Who knows a change of routine can bring about the creativity in bursts and waves? Perhaps all your brain requires is some extra test so that it can access untapped ideas. A fresh start away from the routine may help you tap lots of unused ideas.

2. Believe in yourself

When your inner thought process says NO, the outer parts obsequiously follow it. If you don’t believe in yourself, then it doesn’t matter how creative you are, you are bound to fail. When you give yourself a reassurance that you can do it, there is nothing unconquerable.

3. Meditate, Read Books & exercise, Play games

The above 3 ideas are easy ways to regain the belief that we discussed above. Meditation and exercise act as a great detox and most importantly, it helps our brain release chemicals like serotonin, endorphin, and dopamine that are effective in our well-being. It helps you streamline your thoughts together and channelize it in the form of positive energy. In the same way, pick a book that was your childhood favorite, it may help you to get your focus back. Play games that you love the most. Playing skill game like rummy will help you to relax and also improve your focus and concentration. We have seen many players play card games and win real cash so it’s add on along with the above said benefit. Whatever you do, do not do it in haste. Do it patiently like there’s never a tomorrow.

4. Change your location

When you are stuck in a rut, your mind will often circle around the things that are familiar to you. On such occasions, there is little chance to break free from the clutches of the creative rut. Consider moving to a location from where you draw inspiration to be creative.

5. Seek inspiration from the outside

When we are in a creative rut, it’s very difficult to draw inspiration from ourselves. The Internet is one of the easiest and biggest resources available for us to derive inspiration from. Browse the things that excite you, sites filled with images may stimulate you visually and inspiring words may get you going mentally.

The idea basically is not to allow the creative rut to stop; Allow it to inspire you and scale new heights beating it.
