PUMP UP PRODUCTIVITY: 6 TRICKS to AMP your DAY (PART -1)

Having a great start to the day, is undoubtedly one of the most significant underlying factors to having a productive day.

But apart from having great mornings, if you intend to take your productivity to another notch  it is crucial to employ these radical but super effective tricks:


  1. Eject the Email trap: With every email alert, when we unlock the phone, it is one guaranteed step towards a concentration-canker. A smart way is to schedule time intervals to check emails, and assign 20-30 minutes to revert to the important ones. Lets say, you can check the inbox every 2-3 hours and process them according to their priority. Another time and energy saver move would be to unsubscribe from newsletters and advertorial mails. In case you really need the newsletter updates, shift them to an alternative email address, this will keep your inbox organized and clutter free. 
  2. Done is better than perfect: We have all been victims to the illusion of perfectionism. And more often than not, we delay execution and implementation because 'it is not perfect yet'. But in most of the tasks/projects that allow twitching and editing in post implementation stages, execution > excellence.  In fact, execution can act as a pre-test stage, helping to understand the real-time issues that can be further taken care of. So GO DO IT. 
  3. Smart work- Hard work: Embrace the technology, and make hard working smart working. Learn shortcuts on the keyboard for every program, use apps for setting reminders, or install a personal assistant app,  choose from available software for easy storage and anytime access. These will save on bits of time and keep you focus fed. 
Keeping it short and simple, will be sharing the remaining 3 hacks in the next blog post.
