Everything You’ve Done Up to Now

Productivity often is measured by output. What project did you finish? What product did you ship? At this time of the year, measure differently. Much of what you completed this year was dependent on the people in your (extended) networks.

Productivity often is measured by output. What project did you finish? What product did you ship? At this time of the year, measure differently. Much of what you completed this year was dependent on the people in your (extended) networks.

Maximize Your Own Workflow

When you first walk into your office and sit down at your desk, you begin a series of workplace “moves” that you’ve designed and practiced over time. If you’re going to work differently (manage time more efficiently, use your systems more effectively, communicate with your coworkers differently, etc.), you’re going to have to do something differently.

How Are You Managing the Productivity Influencers?

Much of the work we do, we do in isolation. To-do lists, project folders, e-mails, and meetings, it’s all a part of our regular workday. We manage our habits and routines, change our context, and we tap into our network to get things done. As you consider the next project you’re about to take on (or, if you’re far along one right now with room to go and room to grow), consider maximizing the three influencers to your productivity and workplace performance.

The Productivity Mind-Set: Identify With Your Goals

Your mind-set is the key to unlocking your intuition, creativity, and action orientation. Begin with a goal in your mind, but be sure to begin at the beginning of goal management: Believe it is possible to achieve your enhanced vision.
