Our mindsets plays a very crucial role when it comes to productivity. I liked your article because of this – it showed us that thinking differently can make all the difference.

Especially the tip #3 is huge. Many people can’t stand their jobs, but at the same time it doesn’t make the situation any better. Instead, thinking differently about your job will make it much more pleasurable. Even appreciating it a bit (and what your salary enables you to do in your daily life) makes things much easier at work.

I love your post :)

I want to add that sometimes your work demands of you to multitask. What if you have to stay focused in an environment that demands high connectivity and the ability to simultaneously close your tasks?

I think that you are correct in your approach, but we all know that there are no magic solution…It all comes down to our ability to focus on the task (tasks) at hand, and free ourselves to live our lives.

I work in a startup that has a productivity tool that enables you to multitask and manage your activities in one place called IQTELL.

We are correctly in Beta and would love to invite you all to try out our application. Email me at haim@iqtell.com and I will gladly send you the invite.

Thank you for increasing everyone’s productivity!

For me, another way to increase productivity is to focus on increasing effectiveness and leverage. Before doing your next task or tackling your next deliverable, ask yourself in what ways can I do this more effectively. Our default habits aren’t always the best way to go! Also, how can you leverage your work to accomplish even more. If you’re writing an article, can you turn that into a presentation? a workshop? Learn how to leverage your efforts to the fullest extent.
