The Problem of
Productivity
We are at the most convenient and comfortable time of our civilization; If not sure ask your grandparents! However along with material comfort, technological advancements are bringing higher amount of peripheral problems and impacting negatively in our personal & professional life. We all are experiencing in our daily life baring very few percentage of privileged population those who know the art of living! You all understand what I mean to say. Higher percentage of the world’s population is leading life in stress and anxiety. It is impacting negatively on our personal productivity if we fail to co-up and stay prepared for.
Before moving further on how to improve Productivity , let’s understand where the productivity problem lies.
One of the greatest obstacles
to productivity is the superficial paradigm, that life is challenge free. This mindset supports the cognitive brain for taking everything for granted. The
tendency of devaluing resources which are available to us free including the physical resources, the time, the physical and spiritual energy and above
all the greatest gift to us i.e. in the form of our human body with a tiny but powerful mind and an amazing " Power of
Choice.
The real enemy is not
the external pressures or the external environment. The
real enemy is our own mindset, which is so complexly hardwired that we spend enormous amount of time and
energy to sort it out on daily basis.
Everything is in the Mind!
When we study and understand the mindset of successful
personalities, we get to know that, they never allow any urgent day jobs to hijack their
mind. They stay focused and they spend quality time in acting on their important goals. They very well know their priorities and when and how to spend their time and energy. They develop their strong internal control mechanism and they never get hijacked by any urgency. That’s how they become more productivity. It is found from the
research that, productivity problem is deeply rooted in our mindset. The great news is, it can be improved with focus and commitment, neuroplasticity and neuroscience
has proved it!
Basis to my research and extensive study & practice over and over here are these 7 most effective formulas that if applied judiciously helps us improve our productivity.
1.Clarify your Purpose: One of the biggest problems of today for majority of us is not having clarity of your own purpose. When
we are not clear about our life’s purpose and mission, we get easily carried away by urgency and get deviated from our core objective of life.
Setting clear purpose and mission is critical and is a great differentiator in
life
- Develop a personal Mission statement
- Follow your worthy ideal progressively everyday
2. Set SMART Goal : People often fail to achieve their goals ,and one of
the biggest reason is that they start their goal wrong at the very first
place. So we should be very careful about our goal. Without a proper goal we do not get direction
in life and without direction obviously we tend to lose focus. It push us to take commitment and initiative. It
Inspire & motivates us on daily basis . It is very important to have a SMART
Goal in life. Goal should be Specific,
Measurable, Achievable , Relevant and Time-bound.
- Take & declare your commitments to progress toward your goal weekly
- Keep a Handy scoreboard for your reference and to check your progress
3.Set your
priorities right : Everyday in
our life, we come across numerous choices and often we get attracted towards shiny things. We are ready to sell off our moment & easily get captivated, just to find that we have moved away from our goal of
life and often it is too late the time we realize the mistake. Prioritization is to know what matter most to us
& staying determined not to compromise with our daily action that moves us closure towards goal and with the value of our life aligned with our purpose. Without setting priorities , we can not
manage our time and we can not make progress on our goal. Our ability to achieve
goal depends on our ability to prioritize things in life.
- List your activities , determine urgent & important
- Put most important and hardest task first
To stay focused
amid potential distraction is a art and demands commitment. We need to dismiss behavior
that lead to distraction. It is all in mind and requires a strong practice. Without
being self-aware and conscious about the purpose of life, all methods to manage
distraction will fail. So staying focus is deep internal and demands a strong
internal stability.
- Keep on focusing in 2-3 important task in a day
- Focus on the smallest part of the task at a time
- Reward & appreciate yourself in completion of task diligently
- Practice to do job in hand with focus
- Declare your intent and set expectation right with others
- Be assertive and learn the art of saying "no"
7. Practice Great Morning and Evening Ritual: Our life is shaped by our beliefs, expectations and series of thoughts and all these together help us forming our habits and get demonstrated in the form of our behavior to the external world . We are the product of thoughts. Dr. Stephen Covey says- " If you want a small changes in your life , Work on your attitude. But if you want big and primary changes, work on your paradigm." Paradigm shift demands change in our mindset , imagination so that we develop the power to see things differently. This demands huge commitment and determination. That start with self and start with daily rituals, specially early morning rituals. Across the globe, every religious practice has laid emphasis of early morning rituals to all practitioner those who are willing to progress towards achieving life's purpose. Since it is the most productive time for the mind and brain. Successful people never neglect to use this time and encase this opportunity in their favor.
