Become your own efficiency expert
Frequently throughout the day, especially while you’re supposedly “working,” ask yourself the following questions.
- Is my current activity one that is productive or counterproductive?
- Am I really taking action, moving forward, and getting the job done, or am I just killing time or goofing off?
Most people are surprised by how much time they waste when they keep track. After you have identified your productivity weaknesses, decide what you can do to avoid them from now on.
