5 Practical Ideas to Triple your Personal Productivity
“Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing right things” ~ Peter Drucker
Despite working for long hours, do youoften scratch your head at the end of the day to figure out what
exactly you could accomplish during the day? Further wondering, whether your personal productivity is
not up to the mark or perhaps not up to what your hopes or expectations are? The sky is the limit and
high are the dreams of personal success. However, while aiming for the mountain peak, do you
sometimes feel that you are lost somewhere amidst the bushes? Well, do not fret! You can scale up your
mountain of success and increase your productivity gradually and steadily with some simple changes.
Here we bestow you with 5 significant practical ideas which you can apply instantaneously to enhance
your Personal Effectiveness. Don’t just work harder, but work smarter.
1. Maintain A Meticulous Time Log
Keep a detailed time log as you perform your daily tasks. From how much time goes in checking e-mails
to the time spent in attending phone calls and web browsing, meetings, phone calls, interruptions,
visitors, coffee breaks, chit chats etc. This will help you to know for yourself how much time you are
actually working on activities that contribute towards your productivity and how much time is spent on
other trivial activities. Studies have revealed that an average executive does only 1.5 hours of productive
work in an 8 hour workday. The rest however goes into shuffling papers, socializing, tea breaks and
engaging in non-business communication along with numerous other non-productive activities.
2. Scrutinize Your Time Log Results
By keeping a time log, a very busy manager found out that after working 60 hours in a week, his
productive hours were only 15! It not only cleared his misconception about his productivity but also
helped him to realize all his time consuming activities that did not contribute meaningfully to his goals
and results. Scrutinizing your own results will make you consciously aware of all the time drains and
assist you in eradicating these hurdles from your path towards high levels of personal productivity
3. Calculate Your Productivity Ratio
By dividing the actual time spent at work to the total hours spent at the office, you can determine your
productivity percentage. For instance, the productivity ratio of 1 day of the manager in the above
example, working for 15 hours in 60 hours for a week is 25%. Now, your income, accomplishment,
promotion depends on the productive hours, not on the total number of hours worked - doesn’t it?
Therefore, to achieve high levels of personal success, ensure you maintain your productivity ratio as high
as possible by using the below simple formula,
Productivity Ratio = Time spent in doing “Actual Work” ÷ Total Time spent at work
Your income is NOT proportional to the number of hours you work – BUT the number of hours you
work on your MOST PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES.
4. Cut Back The Total Hours To Force An Increase In Efficiency
When you have time constraints, you manage time well and become efficient. However, when you have
all the time in the world your efficiency declines and so does the productivity.
Murphy’s Law – Work expands to fill the time available to complete it.
Therefore, in order to triple your productivity and success reduce your total work time to maximize your
efficiency. It’s all about working smarter and not harder. Ask yourself, which one sounds better, working
30 hours with 25 hours of high productivity and a 90% productivity ratio or working 60 hours with 25% of
productivity ratio?
5. Progressively Raise Total Hours While Managing Peak Efficiency
With this approach, gradually you’ll find that you have skilfully optimized and tripled your personal
productivity. For instance, by maintaining an average productivity ratio of 85% efficiency for an entire
month you will have tripled your productivity from the low level of 25%. Time logging is one of the
mostsimple yet effective ways to enhance your productivity without increasing your working hours and
often results in reducing the total number of hours worked. Although it may take some time and effort
to implement the process, but once it has been accomplished the payoff is incredible.
