3 Technology Hacks to Improve Workplace Productivity

Technology affords us so many amazing opportunities. But technology can also be a vehicle for time-wasting activities. And cell phones are surely one of our biggest distractions. When we are on our devices, it is easy to get sidetracked and be unproductive.

But here’s the paradox. That little time waster in your hand also may contain the solutions to move you back to productivity. There are so many time and productivity apps at your disposal, so much so that it can be overwhelming to find the one that best suits your needs.

We asked three TAB members to take the guesswork out for you, and they came up with simple tools to improve productivity. Read about their productivity tips in this article titled “3 Technology Hacks to Improve Workplace Productivity.” Only at The Alternative Board (TAB).

Take Time to Chill Out – Really!

Long weekends and holidays are worth their weight in gold for overextended business owners. When faced with a little time off, many owners still have a hard time disengaging from the seemingly ceaseless business of running a business.

But short breaks provide business owners with the invaluable gifts of rest, rejuvenation, and reflection. And by taking this time to unwind and enjoy life beyond the business, they return to the office more productive, creative and mentally healthy.

We hope you take time to lean in this holiday week. Don’t worry, your business will be there when you get back.

Organize By Priority

Organize By Priority

A time management skill to help you be more productive

Start the new New Year off on the right foot and get in the habit of organizing and prioritizing your day. You will become more productive. This is a proven simple way to save time, be organized, and increase productivity.

Before leaving the office for the day, or first thing the next morning, make a list of everything that needs to be done. Next, prioritize your list.

Give each one an A, B, C, D, or E priority mark.

A – Must be done first – very important. Serious consequences if you do not get it done. Often this is a task you don’t want to do and have procrastinated to get done. Think about the sense of accomplishment you will have once it is complete. In addition, you get to check it off your list.

B – A ‘should do’ task with mild consequences. (Never do a B task before A tasks are done)

C – Nice to do, but no consequences whether you do it or not. Has little or no effect on your work life. (Most people spend half of their time here)

D – Something you can delegate. This frees up your time to work on the A tasks.

E – Eliminate all together and it makes absolutely no difference. It may have been a higher priority task previously but is no longer important.

Remember, not everything has to be done today. However, if you have several A tasks, give them a priority too. A1, A2, A3, etc… A1 being the most important and the task you should tackle first.

Practice discipline and start working on your A tasks right away.
