What businesses can do to increase productivity
Would you like your team to work more productively? Do teammates often duplicate each other’s efforts? Do you feel like you’re not making the most of each workday? Good news: increasing your productivity isn’t hard. It just requires you to be more deliberate about how you manage your time.
How to improve productivity
Imagine ending your workdays with a sense of satisfaction. You can, and so can your team, not by putting more time into work but by making more of your time at work. Here’s how:
Keep a to-do list
Work is more complex than ever, so don’t expect to remember everything you need to do. Instead, use a task manager to put your to-dos in writing so you can stop scrambling and free up time to work deliberately.
Make information easy to find
Instead of spending time looking through emails, spreadsheets, or even handwritten notes, keep information, like project plans and meeting notes, in one place to make sure everyone pulls from the same pool of knowledge.
Use templates to save time
For recurring projects and tasks, you don’t need to start from scratch. Creating templates not only saves time but also reduces the opportunity for mistakes and provides a process everyone can follow to get work done.
Share your work
One way to keep your team on the same page and avoid duplicating efforts is by using one tool to organize and share work. You can also eliminate confusion by making sure everyone knows who’s doing what by when.
Putting together a productive team
Working together is hard work, but you can avoid common pitfalls and build an effective team simply with the right ingredients and tools for team productivity.
