The Science of Productivity

Here’s an awesome video from AsapScience discussing The Science of Productivity.  If you’re interested in the how and why of things, you should subscribe to their YouTube Channel for a regular dose of interesting facts.

 Some of the key points:

  • Just start working on things
  • Habit and routine make it easier to get things done
  • Having a deadline can help
  • Create an accountability chart to see where you spend your time (or you can download my Time Accountability Worksheet)
  • Stop Multitasking
  • Create a Daily Action Plan (here’s the ToDo list I use courtesy of A Pair of Pears)
  • Split large tasks into bite sized pieces
  • Watch the video for much, much more.

Here’s a great hint – if you want to see the transcript of a YouTube video, click on Transcript (circled in red below) and you’ll be able to see a transcript if it’s available. Just note though that it may be automatically generated and therefore a little dodgy.
