Five ways to boost your productivity, backed by science

Publicado pela (Virgin). E parecem-me princípios bastante sensatos.

1. Sleep well

A daily routine of copious cups of coffee might be your way to sharpen your wits. However, there is nothing that will help you as much as a good night's sleep. A rested brain has increased concentration, working memory and logical reasoning and is vital to being a healthy and motivated individual. 

2. Big projects first 

We all have different peak productivity times in the day. You might be an early bird or a late-night thinker. Choose to do your most creative or essential jobs during the time you have the most focus.

3. Stop multitasking 

Are you used to second screening and juggling devices and tasks? Scarily you might want to review these habits as they are said to reduce productivity by as much as 40%.

4. Get active

Exercise is not a personal indulgence, but a tangible contributor to being more productive. 

5. Be lazier

Now obviously we’re not promoting shirking your responsibilities. But authors Will Declair, Jérôme Dumont and Bao Dinh of The Extra Hour (published by Virgin Books) advocate getting strategic about your to do list and “looking for ways to sidestep as many low-value tasks as you possibly can”.
