This document provides 31 productivity tips for getting more work done in less time. Some key tips include getting proper sleep, eating healthy foods, staying hydrated, limiting distractions by turning off notifications and focusing on one task at a time. It also recommends scheduling time for uninterrupted work, taking breaks when needed, tracking how time is spent to identify opportunities for improvement, and automating repetitive tasks. The overall message is that small changes to daily habits and routines can significantly boost productivity.
People love the notion of the sole innovator, but this notion is wrong. Successful companies are usually started, and become successful, with the contributions of at least two people. Yin and yang, maker and seller, dreamer and pragmatist — call it what you will. After the fact, people may recognize one founder as the innovator, but it takes a team to make a new venture work.
Derek Sivers, the co-founder of CD Baby, said it best: “The first follower is what transforms the lone nut into a leader.”
In some instances the first follower is the first customer, but most often the first follower is the second employee of a company — that is, the co-founder.
There are few factors that can make a company more successful, fun, and epic than an awesome co-founder. There are few factors that can make a company more unsuccessful, aggravating, and pathetic than an incompetent, lazy, or dishonest co-founder.
This SlideShare explains the art of the picking a co-founder and is part of the LinkedIn Influencer series for #mystartupstory.

Even though some of these stats showcase frustrations, there is hope that as we make efforts to streamline workflows, improve visibility, and use an operational system of record, the state of work will improve.

Accountability vs. Responsibility in Project ManagementWorkfront
Within the project management domain one has to have clear appreciation of the distinction between accountability and responsibility, according to Shim Marom, author of quantmleap.com. The fundamental point is the question of “when and where does the buck stop?”
Is it the project manager who is by default the one who needs to pay the ultimate price for the failure or is this issue a bit more complicated than that?
Is there a point at which things might happen under your watch for which you could not and would not take the responsibility?

4 KPIs Every Creative Team Should Be TrackingWorkfront
If a creative team helps to increase the bottom line and can't prove it, did it really help the business at all? Tracking the impact of a creative team in any company is a tricky task, and 73% of CEOs think marketing and creative teams lack business credibility because they can't prove that they generate business growth. It's unrealistic to think you can accurately show how creative work directly increases revenue, but that doesn't mean there's no way to show upper management that you belong—it just requires a different approach.

Marketing is a Learning Experience
Great marketing has always been about trial and error and knowing when things are working and when they’re not. This has never been truer than it is now.

Some business jargon is useful, especially when it’s the simplest way to convey a complicated concept or provides a useful shortcut for those in a certain line of work.

Marketing teams are starting to get more serious about project management, but wasteful practices still persist. As a marketer, your environment is very dynamic. Naturally, your project requests—and the ways you receive them—tend to also be very dynamic. Right from the start, this can get your projects off on the wrong foot. Ultimately, it hurts yoru productivity, makes your projects late, and wastes time and money.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
2. Who doesn’t want to get more done in less time?
For all the people who find that all the hours in the day aren’t enough to get done
all the tasks on their to-do list, any trick to milk out of the day one more completed
task is gold.
Drawing on the wealth of work management tips on the Talking Work Blog and the
knowledge of other experts, we’ve amassed a list of 31 productivity tips so
powerful, you just might leave the office on time…
4. A lack of sleep is not correlated with an increase in productivity!
Workers who logged 6 or less hours of sleep per night were significantly less productive
than those who got 7-8 hours.
6. “Not all foods are processed by our bodies at the same rate. Some foods, like pasta, bread,
cereal and soda, release their glucose quickly, leading to a burst of energy followed by a
slump. Others, like high fat meals (think cheeseburgers and BLTs) provide more sustained
energy, but require our digestive system to work harder, reducing oxygen levels in the brain
and making us groggy.”
—Ron Friedman, “What You Eat Affects Your Productivity,” Harvard Business Review
8. One study found:
Dehydrated workers saw a 12% decrease in their productivity.
Workers with moderate dehydration saw impaired motor tracking, attention, and
arithmetic efficiency.
23% reduction in reaction time when subjects were 4% dehydrated.
Source: “Avoid dehydration in the workplace” by Mike Markovsky, Industrial Safety &
Hygiene News
9. 4. Insist on receiving all of your requests in one place
10. “One way this could be done—since 63 percent of marketers still receive most work
requests by email—is to create an alias email account, like
workrequest@companyname.com. In addition, create a standard work request form that is
customizable and is easily accessible. There will be an instant reduction in distractions from
all the random requests and you will be able to find your entire to-do list in one place.”
—Natalie Ward, Marketing Manager, Workfront
12. Those little favors inevitably push out other stuff you were planning on getting done.
Either:
you end up burning the midnight oil to get caught up or
your stuff ends up late and you look incompetent
13. “No more ‘quick favors’. No more drive-by requests. Think of tasks the way you
think of financial transactions—nothing is allowed to happen off the books.
Every single task must be documented and accounted for.”
—Marcus Varner, Senior Content Marketing Manager, Workfront
15. Being productive is more than just getting stuff done; it’s about getting the most
valuable stuff done.
Consider these criteria for prioritizing:
Alignment to company goals and strategy
Rank of the requestor
Due date of the request
17. “We work a lot. We work more than ever before. We’re logging many more hours,
processing mountains more email and other communications. We’re just DOING lots and
lots more than ever before. But we’re less happy, less certain that we’re accomplishing
our goals, and less sure of what we need.”
—Chris Brogan, CEO, Owner Media Group
18. “What you’re doing today impacts what you’ll accomplish this week. Bucket up all the
todays into a month, and then stack twelve of these up, and what you did TODAY
reflects on your full year.”
—Chris Brogan, CEO, Owner Media Group
20. “Of course, no one likes to have conflict in the workplace, especially when it comes to
higher-ups, or perhaps worse, clients and customers. The last thing you want is to
damage a business relationship. However, it's easy to forget that can also happen if you
say ‘yes' to everything. Sometimes pushing back is necessary for the benefit of the
company—and your team's sanity.”
—Heather Hurst, Director of Corporate Marketing, Workfront
22. “People who are regularly bombarded with several streams of electronic information
do not pay attention, control their memory or switch from one job to another as well
as those who prefer to complete one task at a time.”
—Adam Gorlick, “Media multitaskers pay mental price, Stanford study shows,”
Stanford News
23. “Multitasking rarely works, despite what nearly everyone says. When you multitask, you
simply accomplish each task less effectively. Your brain tries to switch back and forth
between different tasks, and a significant part of your day is lost.”
—Brand Turner, “4 Productivity Tips That Changed My Life This Year,” Entrepreneur
25. When asked what would do the most to boost their productivity, 25% of office workers
said uninterrupted blocks of time.
Source: “2016-17 U.S. State of Enterprise Work Report,” Workfront
26. “You may not have an office, but you have the ability to show everyone around
you’re busy. Put on a set of headphones—even if you don’t listen to anything—to
visibly queue your colleagues you’re focused and shouldn’t be bothered. If someone
approaches you, politely ask them to come back at the end of your work meeting
with yourself. They’ll get used to letting you do your work.”
—Jason Falls, Digital Strategist & Keynote Speaker
28. You’ve hopefully discovered your productivity sweet spot, those ideal work conditions
where you can focus your attention like a laser beam and fly through tasks like a bullet
train.
Know what your sweet spot looks like, understand how each component affects your
productivity, and to optimize your workspace accordingly.
30. One study on open-offices found:
Most workers were frustrated by the effect of constant distractions on their
performance
Half took issue with the lack of sound privacy
30% complained about the lack of visual privacy
Source: Jungsoo Kim, “Workspace satisfaction: The privacy-communication
trade-off in open-plan offices,” Journal of Environmental Psychology
31. “While employees feel like they’re part of a laid-back, innovative enterprise, the
environment ultimately damages workers’ attention spans, productivity, creative
thinking, and satisfaction.”
—Lindsey Kaufman, Writer, The Washington Post
39. 60% of marketers have six to 15 or more software programs open on the computers
at any given time.
Source: “A Day in the life of a Marketer Survey,” Workfront
40. “Use a central calendaring and project-management tool to keep yourself on
track...Make sure that that whatever system you use syncs everything (your calendar,
meetings, travel, To Do, and tasks) in one place. A bonus is being able to track your
time and manage resources.”
—Ann Handley, Chief Content Officer, MarketingProfs
42. “On average, 30-35% of project time in marketing is spent on rework, including revisiting
decisions, waiting for approvals, redoing work, and correcting errors. Make it a point to
start your work with clear and collaborative communication among your team, clients,
and execs. Work together to create a clear communication plan. Everyone needs to know
how to share details about a project and clear deadlines to work toward.”
—Natalie Ward, Marketing Manager, Workfront
44. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel every time you sit down to work on a
project. You can build templates for your most recurring types of work.
Templates also ensure you’re consistently covering all of your bases and applying
best practices.
46. “Enter a calendar item at the beginning and/or end of every day to review your calendar
entries. While this may seem like an unnecessary or redundant step to take, remember,
you're dealing with you—someone who can't stay organized or on-task. Forcing yourself to
follow a schedule that includes reviewing your schedule is going to help you break the mold
and actually know your schedule.”
—Jason Falls, Digital Strategist & Keynote Speaker
48. Email, phone calls, and excessive meetings are sucking away your precious time.
49. “During the day, I never answer my phone unless it is a scheduled call I am expecting.
If people don’t leave a message, I just saved myself time and aggravation. During the
lunch hour and in the evening, I will spend an hour or so on email, social media
content, and phone calls … [I]f you are a slave to all of the messaging coming at you,
productivity will slide.”
—Mark Schaefer, Author, Blogger & Social Media Marketing Strategy Consultant
51. “Ease into your weekday by doing one easy work thing first, then immediately launch
into the Hard Thing (the thing that requires the think). Key here is actually putting that
Hard Thing second, though—not third or fourth or fiftieth. Taking this approach creates
some momentum and sets you on the path toward accomplishment. Which is what you
want, because the Overlord of Momentum is the mortal enemy of that scoundrel
Robber-Baron, Procrastination.”
—Ann Handley, Chief Content Officer, MarketingProfs
53. “Use train time, bus time or queuing time for thinking or unwinding, rather than
using it for yet another ten minutes of information overload. You’ll feel less frantic if
you take these opportunities for time out as they’re offered.”
—Francis Booth, Contributor, Forbes
55. If you’re going to be more productive, you’ve got to cut down on meetings and
rein in the ones you can’t get out of.
Your best bet here is a meeting agenda.
57. “People generally don't need as much time as they ask for...Meetings are time vampires. Be
ruthless in managing this endemic productivity drain so you can focus on high value tasks.”
—Bruna Martiuzzi, President & Founder, Clarion Enterprises
61. “A creative team that doesn't track time is a creative team that has little visibility into
its productivity and efficiency.”
—Sam Petersen, Marketing Manager, Workfront
63. You can’t pull this off consistently without some data gathering on your past
performance:
Time tracking
Accurate documentation of your workflow for your common request types
65. A content marketer survey found:
For 65% of content marketers, the approval process sets back projects 3 days or
more
Source: “2015 Content Marketing World Survey,” Workfront
66. Apply some structure to the approval phase:
Establish the exact numbers of review cycles with stakeholders
Establish the dates by which those cycles will be completed
Hold stakeholders accountable to those dates
70. The numbers don’t lie. They can reveal strengths and weaknesses we didn’t know we
had. They can highlight opportunities for improvement that would’ve otherwise
flown under the radar.
If we’re really serious about improving our productivity we’ve got to get down to the
actual numbers of:
how much we produce in a given time frame
how long it takes
where we tend to falter
72. Productivity needs a champion in every office. But also realize that productivity
can’t be forced.
Focus on making incremental changes that will increase your and your team’s
productivity over time.
