10 Ways to be More Productive - Apothiko.comApothiko
Most of us run from one distraction to another anytime we are trying to be more productive. Here are 10 ways to help ensure that you’ll be more productive.
Eat that Frog!
Learn how to stop procrastinating high value tasks that can move your life forward. This book discusses the importance of goal setting, creative procrastination, time management and creating priority ranking for all of your tasks.
This slideshow is a comprehensive overview of Brian Tracy's book Eat That Frog! The basic premise of Eat That Frog is that we should focus on the highest payback, least-appealing task of the day FIRST, before anything else. He asserts that "your ability to select your most important task at each moment, and then to start on that task and get it done both quickly and well, will probably have more of an impact on your success than any other quality or skill you can develop!”
According to the author, an average person who masters this one technique will run circles around a genius who talks a lot and makes wonderful plans, but gets very little done. (I know somebody like this, don’t you?)
Furthermore, he says that "The ability to concentrate on this one important task, single-mindedly, to do it well, and to finish it completely is the key to great success, achievement, status and happiness in life.”
Let's all go eat that frog!
I love Brian Tracy's use of quotes in the book, and have included many of them in the slideshow.
If you're looking to be more productive, stop procrastinating the important stuff (We can all use less procrastination, right?), start procrastinating more creatively (I like the sound of that!), and reach the goals you have yet to attain, I highly recommend utilizing this information!

Motivation is like an accelerator in a vehicle. A vehicle keeps moving at the pace decided by its accelerator. The moment accelerator is reduced, vehicle’s speed reduces and it may come to a standstill if there is no further acceleration. Alternatively, if brakes are applied, there will be an abrupt reduction in the speed of the vehicle and it may come to a standstill.
This is true to human beings as well. As long as they are motivated they keep working and producing extraordinary results. The moment there is a drop in their acceleration (motivation), results start diminishing. Of course, applying brakes (dissatisfaction/demotivation) certainly bring them to a halt. The only difference is that unlike a vehicle, human beings have different types of accelerator and brake.
Therefore, the book, Why My Horse Doesn't Drink' will help readers to identify the ways that may accelerate or slow down the speed of their team members. Chapter ‘How to motivate’ talks about the points that accelerate and chapter ‘How not to demotivate’ explains the factors that may work as brakes to performance. Thereby readers will be able to make best use of their vehicle (Team Members).
Motivation PowerPoint Slides include topics such as: understanding needs vs. wants, factors for motivation, employee rewards, offering praise/recognition, types of motivation, job enrichment, the role of money and motivation, incentive programs, motivation ironies, boosting efficiency, 30 ways to motivate, Maslow's hierarchy, how to's and more.

2. Lack of Focus
• Many people face the problem
of lacking focus. There are so
many things to do in our daily
life, so many things to hear.
• The problem is our focus is too
broad. People are doing too
many things rather than one
thing at time.
3. Improved Focus
• Once you improved your focus,
you will find that you are able
to do more because you can get
things done.
• Improving focus is not an easy
task, but it is one that can be
learned.
• Like anything else, you must
practice to improve focus.
4. Losing Focus
• When you start to lose focus,
always remind yourself you
must focus for a fixed amount
of time.
• The fixed amount of time could
be 10 minutes or tell yourself to
read 8 more pages. Maybe you
need to do 5 more problems.
You set the fixed amount of
things to focus on.
5. One Thing At a Time
• When you see something that
needs to be done, rather than
drifting, hold up one finger in
front of your face. This is a
physical reminder for you to
focus on one thing at a time.
After a while, it will be
mentally and physically
imprints on your brain as a
double reminder.
6. Consistency
• Learn to be consistent in your
routines. This will establish a
schedule of consistency and
focus. You know you must do
this, then followed by that.
While it may not matter, by
having the routine, it serve as a
pattern for you to follow.
7. Knowing Yourself
• If you find that you focus better
in quiet, make certain it is quiet.
• If you find music helps, then
have music.
• Notice what hurts your focus
and reduce those things, like the
TV in the background or surfing
Facebook.
• Know what help you to focus
and add those when you need to
focus.
8. Don’t Procrastinate
• Don’t be like many people who
used work as an excuse for
being busy to procratinate.
• When you know you are trying
to delay, stop.
• If you are doing work in motion
that you do not need to do in
order to avoid something, what
you actually need to do is
STOP.
9. Summing Up
• Keep in mind that The Power of
FOCUS will not help you if you
do not take the necessary plan
with actions.
• You must not only remember
them but put them into used.
• Any kind of tips is only as good
as the actions taken.
