“How can I be more productive at work?” This is a question we’ve all asked ourselves dozens of times but just haven’t quite managed to solve.
While it may seem like an impossible task, there are a few simple steps you can take to be more efficient at work.
- Remove distractions: From office chats to the telephone ringing off the hook, the workplace is filled with distractions that hamper your productivity. Try finding a quiet place to work and avoid unnecessary communication. This is one of the reasons why working from home is proving to be very successful
- Organise your office: Searching for documents or equipment can waste valuable time and energy. Make sure your desk is neat and tidy and file all necessary documents in a safe and reliable place. Clear space, clear mind!
- Don’t multitask: Trying to juggle multiple tasks at once will only overwhelm you and widen the margin of error. Group your tasks into manageable chunks and focus on one at a time.
- Have the right equipment: If you don’t have the right tools, you will find yourself wasting valuable time and energy trying to track them down. Ensure that you have everything you need to get the job done timeously.
- Reduce waste: Whether time or energy, there’s nothing more unproductive than waste. Recycle, organise your office space, and ensure there are no resources being wasted.
As you begin to minimise waste in the workplace, your business will soon need more space to store the items you don’t use regularly as it grows. This week, we featured three different businesses that make use of self storage as a cost-effective way to expand their business while still maintaining low overheads.
