15 Things You
Say That Kill
Productivity
"I'm too spontaneous to
stick to a plan."
Make plans, stick to them, and form a
habit of being productive at certain
times.
" I'll answer these
emails in the meeting
and write the proposal
while fielding calls
from clients."
Multitasking confuses your brain and
slows you down. Concentrate on the
task at hand
"I don't think I need an
app for that!"
Embrace technology. Automate tasks
and processes, get more work done.
"I can't afford to take a
break right now."
Take breaks. After 90 - 120 minutes of
work, the quality of work output
decreases dramatically.
"I need to check email
for the eighth time
today."
Constant distraction suppresses your
ability to focus on your priority.
Relegate email checking to only twice
or thrice a day.
"I wonder what the
Twitterati are up to"
Social media is a massive distraction
that interrupts your flow of thought.
"It's better I do it myself
than delegate."
Delegate work, trust people to do it
right, and prevent being
overburdened and stressed.
"This is too much work,
I'll deal with this with a
fresh mind tomorrow."
Eat the biggest frog first. Don't
procrastinate tough jobs.
"I won't be able to sleep
until I get this done."
According to research by Harvard, for
the average worker, lack of sleep
leads to the loss of 11.3 days' worth of
productivity equivalent of $2,280,
each year.
"I'll eat healthier
starting this 'Monday.''
Food has a direct impact on our
cognitive performance. A poor
decision at lunch can derail an entire
afternoon.
"I find peace in chaos."
Declutter your desk, declutter your
mind
"I just can't find the
time to exercise!"
You will be 21% more productive if
you can get even a little bit of daily
exercise.
"Yes, I'll work on that extra
project. Will I help you with
your work? Yes, of course!
Stay late tomorrow? Sure, I
can stretch a little."
Saying "no" means you have time to
focus on your own tasks and projects,
rather than responding to requests.
"This still needs some
more work."
Perfection kills productivity. Stop
overthinking. Done is better than
perfect.
