Top 10 Ways to Increase Your Productivity

Today we continue with the next two in our top 10 list. Each Sunday two more will be posted. As mentioned before, these come from my own business coach.

8. Work in synch with your body
Most people can tell you in a moment what their most productive time of day is, but they don't plan their schedule to take advantage of it. Are you a morning person? Do you get more done in the late evenings? Organize your day so your most important tasks get done when you are at your best.

7. Invest in a timer
One of the most effective ways to increase your productivity is to use a count-down timer. Decide in advance how much time you will allot for a certain task then set the timer and press yourself to complete it before the timer goes off. You can use this strategy on e-mails, on surfing the web doing research, on phone calls, for your coffee break, even for your shower and morning routine. You will be amazed how much you pick up the pace when the timer is running.
