Some people have to carry their work with them at home but they still failed to catch the attention. The reason for this is quite simple, you are struggling to manage your time. It may be due to the reason that you are working on the wrong track. The main issue behind not catching the spotlight despite hard-working is that you are less productive. Your efforts are going in vain as your productivity is not up to mark. The solution to this problem is also simple, you just have to become more productive. In this article, we are going to tell you about different methods and tricks to become more productive at your workplace. Let’s have a look at those tricks and methods:

· Avoid Multitasking

Most people thought that it’s a talent to be a multitasker. But the fact is not the same. When someone is working on multiple tasks at once, he failed to put out an impressive output. Because he has split his focus into different tasks. As a result, all tasks cannot get the attention they required and output is not up to the mark. So avoid doing multiple tasks. The best method is that you should complete the first task and go on for the next. In this way, every task will receive enough focus and productivity could be much better.

· Arranging tasks

The next method to raise productivity is the arrangement of tasks. Arrange tasks by their difficulty and length level. The arrangement could also be based on the level of priority. The task having prime importance should be of high priority and vice versa. Complete the difficult and highly prior task when you feel more focused and active. In this way, important and lengthy tasks will receive more attention and the resultant would be a rise in productivity.

· Manage Notifications

The next method is to manage your notifications on your android. The same applies to your computer. Research has revealed that a normal person receives a notification every 10 to 12 minutes. And their number is much high for office workers. These notifications interrupt your attention from work. This results in mistakes in your work and you would take more than normal time to complete a task. The best solution is to turn off your mobile. Or at least turn off the notification on your mobile and computer. Only high-priority notifications should be turned on. Apply this rule and you could watch the result by yourself.

· Cut off the interruptions

When you are working at your office you may have different interruptions. Sometimes a colleague asks you to assist him in some work. Sometimes partner comes to you for some help. And the most annoying thing during work is called for frequent meetings. All these interruptions lead you to lose your focus from work. And definitely, the results will not according to your expectations. To solve this problem ask your colleagues that don’t disturb you during your work. Similarly, you can request to not call you for frequent meetings. Meeting call-ups could be solved by planning meetings on a fixed routine. In this way, you could perform better and get high productivity.

· Taking short breaks

Some people would not think it a good thing to take breaks during work to increase productivity. But believe me, it’s the most working trick to be more productive. Researches have shown that taking short breaks during work makes you fresh and ready for the next work. So you should take short breaks after regular intervals to get high-quality results. This technique is simply called the Pomodoro Technique.

· Using the right tool

Another important thing to raise productivity is the use of the right tools. You can get better results from a work by giving it more time of doing it smartly. In modern days smart working is more efficient than hard working. Take the example of labor. He has to take some material like mud or cement from one place to another. If he does so by his hands it would take more effort and time. On the other hand, if he uses a handy cart he could work with high speed and less effort. That’s it, this rule could be implemented in every field. The only thing you have to do is use of the right tool or equipment. By doing so, you could achieve better results in less time.

It’s clear from the above discussion that lack of focus is the main cause of less productivity. If you managed to focus on your work then you could be more productive. Most of the above methods lead you to be more attentive and focused on your work. So you should follow these methods and tricks to experience a positive change in your productivity.
