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.
If you’ve got any great productivity tips or resources, please share them in the comments.
