3 Easy Peasy Ways To Be More Productive

Who would not like to be more productive and efficient in a way that saves us time, effort, and removes some stress in our lives? Of course everyone would like to accomplish and achieve more in their day, especially with the busy-ness of nowadays. Productivity is a very important thing that everyone is looking for productivity; whether it is at work, home, or in general, day to day activities and tasks.It is safe to experiment with productivity. Find whatever works best for you. You might get to know something new about yourself you did not know before. 
1. Eliminate Unnecessary Thoughts
We all fall sometimes in this common mistake of thinking of things that are not important a tad bit. There are things we need to prioritize and put at the top of our to-do lists, other things we should put somewhere at the end of the list, and things we should not even think about.
Give yourself the permission to let go of certain tasks. Visualize and think of a certain task you think is not important to you and that you could let go of; maybe it is a movie you want to watch, but do not have to. You could just forget about the movie because you have something more important to do, such as spend some time with the family or hit the gym for a workout.
Don’t be afraid to say “no.” If you think about everything, this could leave you astray and add unnecessary stress to your system.

2. Plan Your Day
Planning and scheduling is very important and is applicable to any task or activity you perform. Planning just makes things easier because you know when and where everything fits and is a way to remove all this distress and discomfort associated with having so many things to do in your day and not knowing when you will complete everything.
Once you have a schedule, you will dedicate this time for the task, and if still not done, you can move it over to some other time or even postpone it to another day. So make sure you plan everything including family time, work, holidays, and so forth.

3. Be As Flexible As You Can
Flexibility is something that could work very well to your advantage. Do you consider yourself a flexible person or do you like things done in a certain way and only that way? Well, if you are flexible then try to maintain this flexibility and if you are not flexible then start becoming so. Flexibility is being able to adjust a schedule or a certain task for example.
Let’s say you have a dentist appointment and you had to move it to another time because you were busy. So, you call the dentist office and ask to reschedule and they agree. This makes them flexible and thus increases their productivity as they did not lose that appointment and made it easy for their client. However, be careful not to cross the red line and be over-flexible to the point where it impacts you negatively.
In conclusion, productivity is a great tool to possess and so if you be wise and start becoming more and more productive using the various ways. It will help you set you on the right track for achieving your goals and seizing your days.
