Have you ever thought to yourself, “Boy, I have been way too productive lately. I need to try some new tactics to slow myself down.”
No? While no one sets out to intentionally waste time, chances are everyone at some time falls into one of the habits outlined by Marketo in this tongue-in-cheek “how-to” infographic. Here are 7 lessons in (non) productivity.
JONES writer Shari Hegland, who works from home, admits to Time Killing Tip No. 2: using a “piling” system more often than a filing system. Alongside the notes from yesterday’s meeting lay a container from eating lunch at her desk (oops, that would fall under No. 4), her son’s nearly-complete 4-H entries, and the coupons for next week’s sale at Barnes & Noble. Clearing a little space on the desk would probably go a long way toward clearing her mind.
What are your most common productivity killers? What tricks do you use to avoid falling victim to them?
If getting everything done isn’t a matter of simply improving productivity, but requires additional help, maybe it’s time to talk to me about how JONES can take over some of the tasks on that to-do list.
