You can’t become more industrious overnight. But if you make small variations and put some of these habits into place, you’ll be well on your way to becoming more resourceful.
Increase output and become highly effectual
with these habits:
1.
Focus on most important tasks first
2.
Cultivate deep work
3.
Keep a distraction list to stay
focused
4.
Eliminate inefficient communication
5.
Find repeatable shortcuts
6.
Learn from successes as well as
mistakes
some
tasks are just problematic. You can’t multitask your way to finishing them. You
need to dedicate serious time and mental effort to knocking them out of the
park. These tasks are called “deep work.”
Whether you’re trying to focus on
deep work or just dealing with smaller tasks, disruptions are the bane of thruput.
It’s hard to maintain efficient work habits with distractions around.
One powerful method of reducing
distractions is creating a “distraction list.”
Keep this
list - whether it’s a Google Doc or a physical piece of paper nearby while
you’re working. Whenever a diverting thought pops up, write it down on the list
and get back to work. Be proactive about taking breaks. When you take
breaks, it’s important to make them organized and thoughtful. It’s easy to
justify distractions as “taking a break.” But if you don’t have that break time
arranged, it’s possible that you’re actually just getting unfocused.
