Increase Your Productivity

Whether you’re new to the C-suite or have been there a while, increasing your productivity is a way to ensure every minute of your attention counts.

No single hero hack will make you more productive. Productivity is a funnel: what goes in the top impacts the result the most, so it takes a series of small changes to make a big difference to how you manage your time and attention.

The best preparation starts with taking care of yourself. If you need nine hours of sleep a night to function at your peak, create a routine that allows you to get nine hours of sleep.

In the office, set up your workspace for good posture so the ergonomics encourage you to work at your best capacity. It’s a good idea to break up your day with some exercise, which increases the oxygen circulating around your body, keeping you alert. Drink lots of water to keep hydrated, which also supports alertness.

1. PLAN YOUR TIME

Every minute spent planning saves you time down the track. Break down your end goal into monthly, weekly and daily goals. This outlines what you need to do and allows you to attack it in an achievable way. Planning the night prior means you can hit the ground running each morning with a clear action plan.
