Labor productivity<\/strong> is primarily a quantitative indicator that characterizes labor productivity. The indicator of labor efficiency, first of all, expresses the qualitative aspect of the result of labor, and also reflects the need for its economical use.<\/p>\n This article contains a lot of personal experience, not everything is “by the textbook”, but this is what has shown itself well in practice from many productivity tools \/ rules.<\/p>\n There are doubts about putting this rule first or second on our list, but this is “tough” as it is important. Not at every stage of life you agree with the thesis, but looking back, you notice: all the successful periods of life (where there was development) were united by the presence of a sleep regime.<\/p>\n It is not necessary to get up at 6:00, 5:30, as long as you like, priority number 1 is to fix the time of the rise. Get up at the same time.<\/p>\n I would like to share 4 interesting thoughts from the book “The Sleep Revolution: How to Change Your Life Night after Night” by Arianna Huffington, which are appropriate:<\/p>\n It doesn't matter who you are, where you live and what you do – absolutely everyone needs sleep (Editor's comment: this item often asks for, you think – well, I\u2019ll do this and then I\u2019ll decide to normalize sleep …);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n (Editorial comment: you can get a competitive advantage thanks to sleep);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Researchers at the University of Surres in the UK found that sleep deprivation altered the expression of more than 700 genes and increased the activity of inflammatory genes;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Healthy sleep affects decision-making and creative thinking, emotional intelligence and cognitive function, and eating too much can lead to increased anxiety, stress, depression, and a host of other health problems.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n And we recommend the book to be a must-read.<\/p>\n Waking up early is the next level of performance. When you fix the ascent time, you can gradually shift the ascent time to earlier. But this is already a matter of technology.<\/p>\n Prioritization helps you remember that your time and opportunities are not endless. So you need to try to choose the main thing and do it until the result is obtained.<\/p>\n …<\/p>\n If every day you set 1 main task for the day, then when you complete it, you will feel that you have made progress. And to set a task not nonsense, but to take a feasible one, and leading to a result – advancement will be guaranteed sooner or later. At the very least, you will receive feedback and understand how not to do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n In addition, the main task for the day will be the anchor element. You will build the rest of the affairs around her. It is optimal to set 3 tasks for the day: 1 main and 2 secondary (but also important).<\/p>\n The task does not have to give an integral result at the output (for example, a completely closed Task). If you have made some progress on a sub-task, it is quite normal, you need to start from the energy level of today.<\/p>\n What is meant? Determine 5 \u00b1 5 habits or rules that will determine the quality of the day.<\/p>\n The first where the method is most holistically mentioned is the 1971 Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Franklin invented the method of the “table of virtues.” He compiled a list of 13 virtues:<\/p>\n Abstinence, silence, love of order, decisiveness, thrift, hard work, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, calmness, chastity, meekness.<\/p>\n He spattered the tablet and entered in the lines of virtue, and in the columns the names of the days of the week. When the previous week was completely painted over and completed successfully, he proceeded to “storm” the new virtue.<\/p>\n If there were violations, he went back one virtue and began to accustom himself to the rule that went before. Read more in our article “Benjamin Franklin's 13 virtues, the table is just the TOP!”.<\/p>\n In 2020, this is much easier to do, you can use a habit tracker (here we have described a couple of convenient options for applications for a mobile phone).<\/p>\n Algorithm for working with a habit tracker for an effective day:<\/strong><\/p>\n The average person's morning hours are devoid of vigor and positiveness: the annoying sound of an alarm clock, packing in a hurry, a long and tiring drive to work. In the fight against sleepiness and apathy, people are finding more and more effective ways to start the working day. Morning time can bring not only negative, everyone can make their day more productive, and the morning kinder. Simple rules will help you understand how to start your day productively, recharge your batteries and get motivated to move forward every day.<\/p>\n One or two glasses of warm water immediately after waking up restore the body's water balance, activate the work of all systems and, due to this, help to wake up faster and feel a surge of strength.<\/p>\n There is evidence that this habit helps control appetite: if you drink half a liter of water in the morning, you can speed up your metabolism by as much as 30%. In addition, we often confuse thirst with hunger, and a glass of water corny helps not to overeat at breakfast.<\/p>\n Immediately after waking up, a natural stimulant, cortisol, is intensively produced in the body. It is he who should give us a boost of vivacity in the morning. Caffeine does not enhance its effect, but tries to replace it, as a result, both work poorly.<\/p>\n Therefore, drinking coffee and other stimulating drinks in the first hour of waking is and sometimes dangerous: the more often you consume caffeine at the peak of natural activity, the higher your tolerance to it. This is how addiction forms very quickly and imperceptibly.<\/p>\n Plain green tea and matcha (made from powdered whole green tea leaves) also contain caffeine, but less than coffee. In addition, the caffeine in tea is processed more slowly by the body and therefore provides a longer-lasting invigorating effect without sudden surges in energy levels.<\/p>\n It can be considered the second (after a glass of water) the simplest and most effective way to improve the quality of life: the daily practice of gratitude improves mood, reduces anxiety, serves as the prevention of depression, improves immunity and the functioning of the cardiovascular system.<\/p>\n The point is to thank life, the world and people for something specific for a couple of minutes every day. You can write down gratitude in a journal, say it out loud or mentally – the main thing is to do it consciously and focused.<\/p>\n Even Facebook admits that uncontrolled scrolling of the news feed is bad for mental health. Surveys show that multiple email alerts are stressful and heighten anxiety. Therefore, it is a good idea to give up information noise in the first hours after waking up.<\/p>\n To learn how to start the day correctly, experts recommend meeting the morning with the same actions. This allows you to signal the body to start a new day and tune in to key tasks. Exercising, meditation, walking in the fresh air and reading books are recommended as the first actions after waking up. Starting a working day with coffee or studying the feed of social networks is not the best solution, because at the beginning of a new day, the brain is free to solve important tasks, search for new ideas, and social networks only slow down the awakening process.<\/p>\n Svetlana Maltseva, general director of the communication agency MALTILOG: “Awakening is a very important ritual for the whole organism, so you should not strive to jump out of bed and run to the bathroom. The morning should start smoothly, these are additional hormones of joy. Come up with a word of the day, close your eyes, ask your inner voice, and you will definitely get the answer. Such a word can be remembered during the day when you are tired or want to tune in. “<\/p>\n Vyacheslav Babkin, business coach, founder of the Sales Technology project: “I never listen to news in the morning and I don't watch television at all. In my opinion, for productivity – you need to exclude television from your life and news that do not carry the necessary information altogether. You should always ask yourself the question: why should I know this? Any news that is interesting is better to watch during the day, so as not to spoil your mood for the day, in case of negative news. “<\/p>\n Even an elementary morning toilet can be made more interesting. Scientists recommend changing the hand with which a person brushes his teeth. Thus, it is easy to activate the areas of the brain that are responsible for creativity and creativity. Loud music in the morning will charge you with positive and provide a good mood for the whole day. It is worth paying attention during this period to affirmations – positive statements that will give confidence and motivation for the whole day ahead.<\/p>\n Roman Kotov, President of the Kotov Group investment holding: “For a productive start to the day, in my opinion, an early rise is very important. Waking up at 6:00, you do much more than if you wake up at 8:00. After that, I start charging and a little run. This helps to finally wake up the body and prepare it for productive work during the day. Next, according to the plan, there is a contrast shower, and my morning ritual ends with a hearty and healthy breakfast. “<\/p>\n Alexander Orekhov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Boggat financial store: “I strongly advise against starting the day hungry. There is an opinion that it is useful not to have breakfast at all and it is better for those who are hungry to hold out until lunch. In no case. A full, quality breakfast is a must. This can be oatmeal, cottage cheese, cereal with yogurt, or any other option, depending on preference. The main thing is that breakfast is enjoyable. Then the day will definitely start full-fledged, positive and productive. “<\/p>\n The answer to the question of how to start the day will definitely not do without this item. Playing with your pet, jogging in the fresh air or going to a workout will help to activate the work of the brain and the whole body. During physical activity, you can make plans for the day, think about goals and objectives, plan activities for the day, analyze yesterday's results.<\/p>\n Lyubov Yakubovskaya, an expert in the field of social projects: “A glass of water, fresh air and mobility is a simple recipe for an energetic start to the day. Walking with my dog \u200b\u200bgives me fresh air and mobility, I recommend everyone to have dogs, there is no better incentive for regular walks. Another plus is that dogs are a model of optimism – every morning in a great mood! You are involuntarily charged with joy from him. “<\/p>\n Valentina Makarova, Learning and Development Expert: “Run in the morning, walk the dog, do yoga or just read – the main thing is to do it right after getting out of bed. So the body will receive a signal that the day has begun and will tune in to a productive mood. “<\/p>\n Focusing on your main goal helps you get a boost of motivation for the whole day and see how to start the day productively and correctly. Whether it's a dream of a house, a car or a cherished position, you can bring it closer thanks to visualization.<\/p>\n Scheduling tasks for the day allows you not to lose sight of important things and effectively rank them according to the degree of importance and urgency. Keeping a journal will help you effectively manage time throughout the day, devote as much time to the task as it really requires. This kind of time management does not take much time in the morning, but it allows you to distribute forces and resources with maximum efficiency, which helps you understand how to start the day correctly and also continue it correctly.<\/p>\n Experts recommend performing the most difficult and unpleasant tasks in the first three hours after waking up. Thanks to morning intellectual activity, it will be easier to cope with the least attractive tasks, and the day will be more productive with the understanding that the most difficult things have already been done.<\/p>\n Evgeny Frolov – Managing Partner of Evolution Management Consulting Company: “An important element of productivity is planning. Until the work rush with calls begins, you need to make a plan for the day right in the morning. In it, distribute tasks and time for them. It is important that together they do not exceed the entire working time. Rest is important for productivity, too. If you wake up in the morning, look at the goal, get inspired, and then schedule all the tasks and follow them – day after day will be productive. When we achieve what we want, we feel better. It always works well. “<\/p>\n Dmitry Kibkalo – founder of the international network of board games “Mosigra”: “Every morning I write a plan for the day. And by ranking tasks by importance. Important urgent, important not urgent. Not important and urgent. Unimportant non-urgent. Then I start with important things. Most likely, the hands will not reach the end of the list, but urgent matters will definitely be completed. I noticed: if the most important things are solved in the morning, then by 12 o'clock you suddenly discover that most of the difficult tasks have been completed and you can do something interesting. “<\/p>\n The period from 9 to 11 am is the peak of human activity. The most difficult and time-consuming tasks are best performed during this period. Therefore, do not stretch your morning coffee, if you start your work day with the least attractive task, the rest of the day will be free for creative and exciting work.<\/p>\n Particularly difficult tasks can be performed according to the “tomato” principle: one “tomato” means 25 minutes of continuous work on one task. Each of the “tomatoes” is followed by a five-minute rest. After a series of 4 tomatoes, it is important to give yourself a longer break. In the process of working on the “tomato”, it is forbidden to be distracted, it is important to concentrate on completing one task and systematically go towards its implementation. This approach will allow you to approach the performance of routine actions in a playful way, which is much easier to perceive, which means that it will take less time to complete an unpleasant procedure.<\/p>\n Veronika Krainova, clinical psychologist: “Another option for a productive day is to schedule it in the evening. Write down your meetings, important things, tasks that you intend to solve tomorrow. And when you wake up in the morning, you will no longer have to guess “where to run and what to grab.” Everything you need will already be in your diary. “<\/p>\n A lot of work<\/strong>? Is it difficult to keep everything in your head? Take a notebook<\/strong> and write down everything point by point<\/strong>, what, when and at what time you need to do it. Thus, you will immediately make your life<\/strong> easier and the morning will pass without any worries.<\/p>\n You can schedule 10-20 cases, but there will be little sense from this. Brain activity<\/strong> focuses on only 3-5 basic processes.<\/strong> If you don't want to overload your brain or distract your mindfulness, take only a few notes in your notebook and then success will be on your side!<\/p>\n To prevent the task from<\/strong> having a “vague” meaning, it is necessary to formulate it in detail as much as possible. Once again, do not be too lazy to think over your thoughts, sometimes they give out brilliant ideas<\/strong>! <\/p>\n Each person has their own specific values \u200b\u200bin life<\/strong>, to which they strive. One has only to think about which of them are the most important. Someone directs themselves towards entrepreneurship, someone towards family well-being.<\/p>\n You need to highlight only those tasks<\/strong> that will help you develop within the framework of life's priorities. Leave the secondary matters<\/strong> for later, you do not need to collect everything “in a heap”, then your plan will not be effective.<\/p>\n Many are so immersed in their own affairs that<\/strong> they forget about free time<\/strong>! But don't waste it. There are many ways to spend your leisure time<\/strong> actively and rewardingly. For example, call your friends, loved ones or family<\/strong> and you can easily organize an event<\/strong> for yourself .<\/p>\n Social networks, news, instant messengers. Control actions and spending of free time.<\/p>\n To do this, you can use<\/p>\n How long does it take to take actions that don't move you towards your goals? What goals can you use this time to achieve?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You need to be honest with yourself first. Confess how often<\/p>\n Invested or wasted? Find where your time hole is!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Sleep is the main source of energy. Only in a dream does a person regain his strength!<\/p>\n Consistency is important. Lies down and wakes up at the same time.<\/p>\n Break your sleep into cycles of 90 minutes. These are cycles when a person gets the most sleep.<\/p>\n Sleep duration and sleep cycles – how to get enough sleep<\/p>\n Get into the habit of waking up early. Dedicate the morning time to yourself and your goals. Robin Sharma in his 5 AM Club calls it Power Hour!<\/p>\n In order for you to be able to work<\/strong> as efficiently as possible,<\/strong> take note of this advice<\/strong>! Try to turn off all social networks<\/strong> while working. Get in the habit of setting a condition for yourself: “I'll finish one thing, I'll take on another”, “If I don't do it now, I won't be able to do it later.” Adhering to this advice<\/strong>, your day<\/strong> will be much more productive<\/strong> and you will have time to do everything planned on time.<\/strong><\/p>\n We turn on the Pareto law. Only 20% of our actions bring 80% of the result. Everything else can be dropped or delegated. Everything else is an irrational use of your time.<\/p>\n Three important tasks each day are enough to drive you forward powerfully.<\/p>\n Others will not be able to do it the way I do it … What I do in fifteen minutes, it will take another two hours to complete …<\/p>\n Caught yourself thinking?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n So the majority thinks. Therefore, it does not delegate. That is why it is not developing and marking time.<\/p>\n Real examples:<\/p>\n Use the “Pomodoro” method and break tasks into periods of twenty-five minutes. Set a timer and don't get distracted by anything. Distracted? We start the timer again.<\/p>\n The pomodoro technique is the easiest and most effective way to focus on one thing.<\/p>\n I have already described how to apply the Pomodoro technique with the MyLifeOrganized planner.<\/p>\n The second option is to combine tasks of the same type using context.<\/p>\n I implement this approach using the MyLifeOrganized tab bar.<\/p>\n My work profile, where I divide tasks by directions<\/p>\n A flow, a flowing state (English flow, Latin influunt), is a mental state in which a person is fully involved in what he is doing, which is characterized by active concentration, full involvement in the process of activity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Before each task, ask yourself, “How will this help you achieve your goals in the future?”<\/p>\n From personal experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n Appropriate music is a great way to get into flow and be productive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n For each type of activity, the music should be different. For me<\/p>\n Even if you're a Time Management Specialist, MyLifeOrganized, and hit the Getting Things Done black belt, you won't be able to accommodate all the contingencies and circumstances.
