如何在2016年更有效率

We know, we know; sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done. More than ever before our busy personal lives and hectic working ones are demanding more and more of our attention and even the best laid plans and good intentions can get waylaid by a sheer lack of time. If you’re constantly under pressure to get things done and are starting to feel like you’re drowning, 看看下面这些提高工作效率的技巧吧.

说到生意, competition is fiercer than ever: you might have rivals undercutting your prices, you could be a bricks and mortar store pressurized by internet-based sellers, or perhaps you’re struggling to get a grip on your 流程, 营销计划甚至员工. 通过提高你的效率, 以更灵活的方式工作, 而且可以更快地完成更多的工作, you could find that you’re holding the key to solving your problems.

Your issues with 生产力 might be personal, or they may well stem from your staff. As a small or medium-sized business owner or manager, you can’t afford to sit back and let your own inertia or disorganization, 或者你的员工缺乏活力, 拖垮你的公司. Take action and start getting to grips with your workload and help your business get 2016 off to a far more efficient start.

第一件事就是抽出时间

好吧, admittedly taking ‘time out’ sounds counterintuitive for increasing 生产力, 但请听我们说完. By taking a few minutes at the start of every morning, you’ll be getting the day off to a calm and orderly start, thereby increasing the chances of you being more productive, as opposed to running around like the proverbial headless chicken for the rest of the day.

Part 正念 and part preparation, begin by emptying your head of any thoughts. Be in the moment and spend a minute or two breathing deeply. 下一个, consider the things most playing on your mind in relation to what needs to be done either today or in the near future. Jot them down on a piece of paper, followed with a short outline on how you are going to tackle them. Then set your mind to going forth and making those resolutions happen, one by one.

辞职一心多用

Some reports say that multitasking can negatively impact on your 生产力 by as much as 40 percent. 当我们同时承担多个任务时, the perception is that we’re killing it 生产力 wise and getting loads done. The reality is that we’re spending the majority of the time jumping from one thing to the next and not fully focusing on any of them.

You need to exercise willpower to commit to ‘singletasking’ but before long it should come as second nature. Pick one thing that you are going to work on and stick to it until you have finished, or at least done everything you can for the time being. This includes not checking your email during that time – surely one of the biggest 生产力 sappers of all time. 如果诱惑太强烈, 注销计算机上的收件箱, and set your phone to silent if you have audible alerts configured. If you’re worried you’re going to overlook something during this time period, use an online or physical notepad to note down spur of the moment thoughts or ideas.

重新评估你的工作时间

It’s no secret that the traditional 9 to 5 is on the way out. Being connected and contactable around the clock is putting paid to that, but is being constantly online actually counterproductive? How effective are you really at 11pm at night when you’re slumped in front of The Walking Dead with a beer and a spreadsheet full of data?

Take a tip from the latest round of startups that are taking a sledgehammer to the idea that we need to work around the clock, and are instead turning the working week on its head. The CEO of one rising startup has gone as far to institute a five-hour workday that runs from just 8am to 1pm, taking into account that studies show people are more productive earlier in the day. The theory goes that making people sit in an office for 8 hours a day, 同时给他们充足的时间来提高效率, 同样给了他们很多时间去浪费时间. A shorter working day could instill a greater sense of urgency in employees, who in turn respect the company’s consideration of their personal lives and work harder.

取决于你的业务, 改变你的工作时间可能并不实际, but it could still be food for thought - and adopting a singletasking approach and planning your day ahead calmly and clearly is achievable and will never hurt.
