Whether you\u2019re just starting your first internship<\/a> or you\u2019re already settled into a full-time job, being productive is something that should be at the top of your mind. Why? Because productivity not only makes you a better employee, it also ensures that you can be successful in your role and advance in your career.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are three things you can do to be more productive at work.<\/span>
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b>1. Have a consistent morning routine<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019ve ever read about the <\/span>daily routines o<\/span>f successful entrepreneurs<\/span>, then you know that most of them have very specific things they do every morning, from answering their emails right when they wake up to making sure that they take the time to exercise. Although you might not consider yourself an entrepreneur like Michael Dell<\/a> (yet) having a morning routine is important even when you\u2019re just starting out. A good way to create your routine is by figuring out the things that are most important in your day and then prioritizing them accordingly. For example, if you know that creating a to-do list and answering emails first thing in the morning will make your more productive throughout the day, make these tasks part of your morning routine and tackle them before you move on to anything else. <\/span>
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b>2. Focus on one thing at a time <\/b><\/h4>\n

While multitasking might seem like a great thing in theory, <\/span>studies have consistently shown<\/span><\/a> that it doesn\u2019t work. What does work is focusing your attention on specific tasks by dividing up up your day into blocks of time. For example, if you\u2019re a <\/span>social media manager<\/span><\/a> whose day involves creating social media posts, analyzing campaign performance and attending meetings, blocking off time to work on each of those tasks will ensure that you\u2019re able to focus on each one individually and accomplish them effectively. A quick way to do this is by closing out all the tabs and programs you have open on your computer, leaving open only the ones you need for the task at hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Take breaks and know when to unplug<\/b><\/h4>\n

Taking breaks might seem counterintuitive to productivity, especially during a busy day when you have a lot to do, but they\u2019re actually a great way to recharge your body and reset your mind. A good rule of thumb is to take a 5-10 minute break every hour to stretch your legs and look away from your computer screen. Methods like the <\/span>Pomodoro Technique<\/span><\/a> can come in handy here, since they\u2019ll help you stay mindful of the passing hours and remind you to take breaks when you need them. Even more important is the idea of totally unplugging once you leave for the day. Although it may be tempting to keep checking your email, doing so will only keep you in work mode longer, making it harder to relax and making you more tired in the meantime. To truly be productive, it\u2019s important to have some time offline every night to focus on other things and recharge for the following day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being productive is a great way to be successful in your role and to show your manager that you\u2019re enthusiastic about your job. By following these steps, you\u2019ll be able to get all your work done and still find time to have fun. <\/span><\/p>\n
