On Productivity
Employers hire project manager because they want to have a definite outcome of their project. And that too good one. They want a productive work force. We all want to do so many things in a day and simultaneously be good at everything. In my earlier post I have written on getting things done on time.
Doing things on time is the number one rule of productivity. You have to decide which emails you want to reply now, before end of the day or end of the week. Multi-tasking is overrated. It is not smart eating on one side and driving on the other. You will crash.
Being productive is doing only one thing at a time and getting good at it over time. How can I park my car with minimum time? Production manager's priority is how can they minimize overhead time. It is a challenge definitely. Are there any rules to become productive? Yes there are.
1.) Write it down whatever you want to do and follow your to-do list.
2.) Doing it on time is the number one two priority
3.) Third is ignoring everything that comes in your way of accomplishing it.
4.) Keep it simple and remember the rule of 3.
5.) Always ask yourself how can you minimize repetitive tasks.
6.) Always follow best practices at your work place.
I cannot be simpler and clearer than this. In one of my post(Smarter not Harder) I have already written this one but that list was more definitive. Use Sticky notes if you do not want to invest on a white board.
Simplest Rule: List, Prioritize and Do it.
