There is only so much 

you can do in one day…
PRODUCTIVITY
is not straight forward.

You cannot just decide 

to be productive
When staff are happy 

productivity increases by 

12%
Happiness and Productivity – University of Warwick UL and IZA Bonn, Germany – published on February 10th 2014
When staff are unhappy 

their productivity decreases

and they work extra hours 

which can lead to burnout
So how can one 

become more productive
by doing less?
Start with a Plan

It’s the most import stage of any project
and set due dates
Prioritize each task
Use your team's strengths 

and delegate accordingly
« Talent wins games, but teamwork and
intelligence win championships » 



MICHAEL JORDAN
Keep your goals 

and messages
CLEAR
Use to-do lists to set daily goals 

and track progress
into multiple
SMALLER TASKS
Break down
BIG TASKS 

« If you spend too much time thinking
about a thing, you’ll never get it done » 



BRUCE LEE
Source: Multitasking: Switching costs – American Psychological Association
Constantly switching tasks can lead 

to a 40% reduction in productivity
To manage this 

why not group similar
tasks together?
Batch similar tasks 

for MAXIMUM 

efficiency
Use the Promodoro technique
Work in 25 minutes intervals separated 

by short breaks
Use a work management app to create 

a hub for your team collaboration
