| Capitalizing on Productivity | | 2008-08-11 09:43:00 | | I've had this mad rush of productivity that came over me on Saturday and still seems to be in play today. I think it's hormone-related, but am doing my best to run with it while it's here. Accomplishments? May seem ordinary, but when you consider I was at a bachelorette party from 4:300pm until 3am-ish on Saturday (woke up on Sunday around 10:30am), I think this is a good list:- Upstairs bathroom cleaned- Downstairs bathroom cleaned- Kitchen cleaned, including floor- Five loads of laundry washed, folded, and partly put away (I don't put Matt's clothes away)- Grocery shopping completed- Made a tomato-cucumber salad- Did the news (for Sunday)- Took cans back for refunds- Took care of the compost- Some general straightening downstairsThis has carried over to work, too. But that's helped by the fact that my boss is out of town this morning at a meeting so it allows me to get some stuff sorted, including finally being able to use his computer for some bank stuff. It's a good Monday so ... | | By: In Java, Literally... | | |

| | | | A Business Gift to the Company: Empower Productivity from Your Employees | | 2008-02-27 12:45:45 | | If you are in a management or leadership position, you know that the work you put out is only as good as that of the people working beneath you. From your position, you can see the inner workings of a department, and more than anyone who is involved in the function itself, you will be able to see how all the parts interact. It is also easy for you to see how easy this machine can get bogged down, and empowerment, through a variety of means, is the way that many managers look to circumvent this.Empowerment is a very real work place concept, and it is one that has served many managers well. Essentially, it is the mechanism where your workers, no matter what their position or their duties find that they are in a place to make a change for the better. Simply by knowing that they can make a difference can spur people towards greater goals and better work, but while some work places have this happen automatically, others need to cultivate it.

| | | 10 Productivity Tips for Home-Based Businesses | | 2007-05-26 10:53:00 | | Running a business from your home offers many benefits, but there are pitfalls as well. Distractions abound, and family and other responsibilities कैन intrude on business time. But the productivity lessons you learned in the outside world still apply to a home-based business। A well-organized and well-managed business is a productive business. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your time and keep work and home life separate.Prioritize your tasks ahead of time. By scheduling your tasks in order of importance, you can devote more attention to your most pressing tasks। You can prioritize your day so that you do not spend five hours answering email, while the rest of your duties slide.Set goals for your day. As you plan your day, set the goals that you want to accomplish। Although you may not get through your entire to-do list, try to set and meet reasonable goals each day.Instruct your family. "Family interference" is one reason some home-based businesses are unproductive। Your family must realize that even though you are at home, you are still “at work.” Sit down with your family and make sure they understand you need this set amount of time each day to run your business.Do not avoid overtime. When you first start your home-based business, you may need to work extra hours to get it to the point of running smoothly। If you have to work ten hours a day instead of eight, do not be afraid to invest this extra time.Turn off distractions. If the television or radio lures you away from your duties, turn it off. If you cannot avoid these distractions,try moving your office to another location in your home।6. Schedule fun time. The saying “all work and no play” holds special meaning for home-based business owners। Many owners forget that they need to have some fun to function well at their new jobs. You may be working harder than you ever have, which makes it even more important to take some time to do the things you enjoy. The fun time will allow you to return to your work with a fresh outlook. Limit your time on the Internet. Instead of getting sucked into the vortex of the Internet by endlessly surfing when you should be working, disconnect and deal with your email offline। If you need to be on the Internet to accomplish your work, be strict with yourself to avoid getting distracted. Try multitasking. If you have downtime while in between phone calls or while waiting for a document to print, use this time to get menial tasks done। The time you save by multitasking can allow you to get much more work done. Be a good boss. Even though you are now your own boss, do not let yourself become a slacker। Be strict with yourself and demand excellence in your own work. Conversely, don't push yourself too hard. Enlist help if you need it. If you find that you have too much work for one person and your productivity levels are slipping, ask friends or family for temporary help until you can regain control of your schedule।Article सोर्स 10 Productivity Tips for Home-Based Businesses Read Ten Tips for Setting Family Ground Rules for Your Home-Based Business and 10 Steps to Running a Successful Home-Based Business.

| | Productivity Tip: When You Are Working...Work. | | 2007-05-09 16:38:34 | | In my prior post, 20 Steps To Maximize Your Productivity, I described a worrisome scenario of a much-too-typical employee during his much-too-typical day. Unfortunately, that picture represents far too many people at many institutions across our country. Many people possess the "just get by" attitude, just managing to do enough work, staying under the company radar and the nose of the boss to maintain their level of anonymity. Simultaneously, many of these same persons wonder why they are consistently overlooked for promotions and pay raises, many being the first to go when downsizing occurs.
Most often, a company job description entails the basic, minimum requirements of a given position, and you are paid accordingly. To spark the attention of the higher-ups however, a quality of work ethic beyond the minimum expectations must be demonstrated. There is no free lunch!

| | 20 Steps to Maximize Your Productivity | | 2007-05-06 15:40:00 | | One of the things that I have contemplated and struggled with over the years is how two people, working side-by-side in the same office, doing the same work with the same resources, can accomplish vastly different amounts of work, carrying unbalanced stress levels and earning significantly different amounts of income. Why? How?
Who do you think of when you read the following scenario? After visiting with other employees for a while, his coffee cup now refilled, he settles into his workspace, waiting for whatever the day presents to him. He is always aware of the time. He takes numerous restroom and smoke breaks, anxiously awaiting lunch-time where he heads to a local fast food joint, shoves down a burger and fries, consciously consuming every minute of his lunch hour before slowly return to the office. The same routine re-initiates for the afternoon cycle where he anxiously awaits the five o'clock hour. He goes home, grabs a snack, sits back in his chair and proclaims to his spouse ... | | By: Idea Sellers | | |
