3 Easy ways to be more productive

Imagine having more time to spend with your friends and family, and spending less time working! Does that sound good? I think it does.

Here are 3 tips to increase your daily work productivity so you can spend more time with your loved ones. 

1. Start each day by writing a list of your priorities.
   Creating a list each morning is an easy way to recognise what needs to be done in order of most important to least important.
   Any tasks that do not get completed, can be added to the job list the following day.
   

2. Spend one morning each week tackling your inbox.
   I like to do this in midweek - it ensures that you haven't missed anything from the previous week.
   I find that keeping a clean inbox can ensure that you are on task and up to date.
   Your best friend is the unsubscribe button.
   

3. Think about your workspace.
   Do you work well with music? Then put on a playlist?
   Don't work well with music but work in an office environment that plays music? Invest in a good set of noise-cancelling headphones (also great for long haul flights).
   I like to wipe down my desk once a week. No one else is going to do it, so it is always better now than never.
   Lighting is also essential. If your desk is too dark, think about investing in a desk lamp.
