How to Improve your Efficiency in the Workplace

Just because you want to get a head in your career doesn’t mean you need to kill yourself by working overtime everyday and constantly be a schmoozer.

All you need to do is use these easy mental tricks to improve your efficiency in the workplace.

* Create a progress bar for an important project you are doing and fill in the sections as you finish each task.

* If you feel that your mind isn’t being kept sharp, read something new and challenging every day.

* Try to work in 20 minute increments and then do a bit of physical activity, like walking to the kettle to make some coffee or going outside for some fresh air.

* Does your job include doing a million little things? Why not set a timer and try to get as much done as you can in that amount of time.

* If you keep procrastinating and putting off a task, set 30 – 60 minutes in the day to work on that specific project – without any excuses!

* Make a file and store all the positive feedback you’ve received at your job in it, so when you’re feeling down and unappreciated you can revisit it.

* Create a snowball effect by completing smaller tasks first and then moving on to the bigger ones.

* Don’t get distracted by your communications, rather set time in the day to check your personal emails, cell phone, messages and social media.

* Sometimes you just need a break to clear your head and start fresh. Plan a half day or just find somewhere to relax during your lunch break.

Did you know that only 47% of workers say that they are completely satisfied with the recognition they receive at work? Don’t be one of those people, work smarter and you won’t have to spend all night at the office.
