3 TIPS TO GET YOU STARTED How Can You Be More Productive? March is the least productive month of the year. Some people have claimed that March Madness is one of the reasons why people aren’t as productive. WalletHub estimated that 70 million people filled out their brackets instead of doing their work. This led to a corporate loss of $6.3 billion in 2017. Whether you’re focused on the tournament or not feeling motivated this month, here are some tips on staying productive and completing your goals. Create a to-do list. It can be hard to complete your goals and stay productive if you aren’t sure of everything you need to do. By creating a to-do list, you will focus on your tasks and stay more organized. There are a few different ways you can organize your list. You can look at all of the tasks you have for the month and write them down accordingly. You can also look at your items and write them down as you begin preparing for your week. Whichever you decide, find a system that works best for you and your goals. Divide big tasks into smaller ones. It can sometimes be intimidating when we look at a huge upcoming task. This could cause you to avoid planning time-consuming tasks. To ensure that you get your big task completed without spending hours on the entire thing, you can break it up into smaller sections. You can dedicate a day to planning how you want your assignment to look, a day to research topics, and then several days to put everything together. By doing this, you will feel more accomplished with every small task you complete. Focus on one thing at a time. Multitasking is a great tool that you can use to get things done fast, but sometimes it’s not the best resource to remain productive. Concentrating is the primary tool you need to stay productive. It can be hard to concentrate on your tasks if you’re trying to do more than one thing at the same time. Oftentimes, multitasking can burn you out. It may seem like it will take you longer, but if you’re concentrating on the task at hand, you may find yourself getting the job done quicker than you expected. These are only a few of the many tips you can use to stay productive. You may not get everything right the first time, and that’s okay. Staying motivated, focused, and dedicated to your goals will allow you to aim for productivity. It may take some trial and error, but that’s part of the journey — remain optimistic and believe in yourself. You got this!
Testimonial
“Chris has been wonderful to work with - very knowledgeable and helpful. With the dizzying array of options for Medicare Part C plans, he was able to help us zero in on the best one for us! And his office was very helpful throughout the enrollment process when we had questions or delays. They kept us on track making sure we followed through with our tasks and that we were getting responses/approval from SSA and the insurance companies as necessary.
We highly recommend Chris and have referred our friends!”
