Productivity is not about what you are doing. Productivity is about how you are doing what you are doing. If you want to achieve more at work, focus on what matters.

If you want to boost your productivity at work, according to Laura Mae Martin, ‘Say no to everything, except the things you say yes to.’

‘To achieve Uptime, you must prioritize downtime.’

‘Pick something that’s sitting in your inbox or weighing on you that you’d like to say no to.’

‘Keep a notepad at your desk for two weeks. Anytime you’re feeling in the zone- exceptionally productive- write down some of the conditions. Notice patterns.’

‘Be in charge of your day, not at a mercy of it.’

‘Choosing specific locations for specific tasks helps you ease into them.’

‘Beware the recurring meeting that lingers on your calendar even after it has served its purpose.’

‘Choose a lens for looking at your calendar with the time review mindset.’

‘Spend thirty minutes or less reviewing your time to look at things like total time spent or average weekly time.’

‘The best way to get ahead of procrastination is to make sure you’re slotting the right work at the right time.’

‘Find a task you’ve been putting of-ask yourself what daily theme and time of day would be the best time to do this and schedule to work on it then.’

‘Swiss-chess the task down to the tiniest task possible, and write that as your to-do list item, including the amount of time estimated to complete it.’
