How to Have a Productive Work Day – My 10 Minute Ritual
I have been practising this ritual for quite a few years now, after having read on some article on how to be more productive, and it’s been doing wonders for me. It is a key in time management, as it gives you the opportiny to prioritize your work and complete them effectively.
I usually do my list first thing in the morning as it gives me a fresh perspective instead of doing it at the end of the day. However, I pre-write key things to do at the end of the day just in case I forget them the next day.
I used to prioritize according to importance, and with my superior introducing it to the team, I pretended that I knew it for the first time, eliminating the risk of looking like arrogant or a suck up.
It gives me better track of my day’s progress and also to anticipate adhoc work. At the end of each day, when I look at the list, it imparts a massive sense of accomplishment and pride.
If you’re in need of time management, especially if you cannot multi-task and easily get stressed when adhoc work come your way, give this a try, a committed try. It will work. Discipline is key.
Interesting… I’ve always used the panic and hide in a corner approach. Disorganised should be my middle name.
I always have write a “To Do” list either the night before or first thing in the morning. It really does help! : )
