Small Changes.
Big Differences. 
Between distractions, unexpected interruptions, and an overwhelming amount of items on our to-do lists, it can be hard to stay on top of the things we need to accomplish.
But the key to productivity is maximizing the time you have.
To do that, we recommend making a few small changes to your work habits.
(P.S. This can save you hours in the long run!)
- Rework your to-do list.
Instead of adding everything to your to-do list each day, focus on the 3 most important things you need to accomplish. Not only will this help keep your priorities straight, you'll feel less overwhelmed by the amount of things on your plate. - Schedule Time For The Unexpected.
When we things like emails or unexpected tasks pop up, a lot of the time we drop what we're doing to deal with whatever came in, or we leave things in a "holding pattern" with a promise that we'll go back to them later. The thing is, without a solid plan for dealing with the unexpected, you'll end up stopping and starting things so much, you'll never get things done. So plan for the unexpected! In your calendar, add blocks of time to your day to deal with things that aren't on your to-do list. This includes checking your email, dealing with tasks that weren't on the agenda, and anything else that may otherwise interrupt your day. By adding this block of time into your schedule, not only do you free yourself from unwanted interruptions, you also avoid things piling up in the background! -
Measure your results, not your time.
The whole idea behind WorkingSm@rter stems from the reality that we often put in more time and get less done. That’s why it's so important to find methods to get more done in less time.One way to do this is to adjust the way you measure productivity. If you evaluate yourself by what you actually get done rather than the amount of time you take to complete a task, you’ll start to notice a big difference in how you work.
