There is a never-ending supply of productivity hacks you can find on the Internet or using AI. Some good, some bad, but here are 4 proven hacks that are so simple, you’ll probably ignore them.
Get Started
The hardest part of getting things done is usually getting started. For some reason there seems to be a natural pull away from those items we need to work on. Just get started and the task has a higher probability of getting done than the odds if you don’t even start, which is zero.
Complete Your Tasks Fully
Getting started is hard enough, but taking a task to completion can be even harder. If you don’t complete a task it’s almost the same as never working on it. Plus, having many tasks to do can make you lose focus due to the overwhelming amount of items to get done.
Block off Time
Make an appointment with yourself to complete an important task. You’d be surprised by how effective this one strategy can be. However, do not make an appointment during a day or time that is likely to interfere with completing your task.
Ask Someone Else
We generally delay doing things we don’t enjoy, so why not ask someone else to do them? It can be one of your employees, a freelancer or a company that specializes in the task you need to get accomplished.
