Priorities: Do you feel that the hours you work in a day are not enough to complete all your work? Because of this, sometimes you find it difficult to balance the responsibilities of college, career, family, and personal life. This gradually leads to mental stress. Due to the burden of a lot of work and responsibilities at the same time, learning ways to increase personal productivity has become a basic need for everyone today.

In such a situation, you should also focus on increasing your productivity. For this, understand your working methods and make your strategy accordingly. This will not only increase the quality of your work but will also maintain balance in life. Here are some of the best ways to do this.

Identify your work style.
Every person has a different way of working. In such a situation, you should identify your work style and plan accordingly. Research shows that a disorganized routine reduces both patience and efficiency. Therefore, organize your daily tasks, schedule, and calendar, and use techniques like Kanban boards to help you know which tasks should be prioritized and where a task is getting stuck.

Learn to say ‘no’

Set your priorities and avoid getting entangled in other people’s work. If a new project comes up in a meeting, accept it only after evaluating it in the context of your current role. Also, it is not necessary that every meeting, every event, or every client is beneficial for you. Therefore, you should also learn to say ‘no’. Prioritizing only select tasks will keep your attention and energy focused in the right direction.

Avoid multitasking

It is not possible to be at your best all the time. Research shows that people are most active in the afternoon and around 6 pm. Do your difficult and important tasks at this time, while tackling lighter tasks in the morning or late at night. Also, avoid multitasking and make it a habit to complete one task at a time. Meditation, spending time in nature, or writing a diary strengthens your concentration.

Talk to yourself
After completing a task, go for lunch with friends. Also, talking to yourself is very beneficial. Sentences like 'I can do this work' make you mentally stronger. Keep taking breaks and then work with new energy.
