Follow these four easy tips if you\u2019re looking to be more productive in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Ditch the multitasking<\/p>\n<p>Multitasking may seem like an attractive way to optimise your time efficiently but it can actually be detrimental to your overall productivity. In fact, research has shown that switching between different tasks can lead to as much as a 40% drop in productivity levels. When you\u2019re switching between tasks, your brain struggles to switch with you. This means that your focus is not as sharp as it could be and you\u2019re more likely to make mistakes. If you\u2019re looking to up your productivity, focus on one thing at a time. Learn to prioritise a higher standard of work over urgency.<\/p>\n<p>Ensure your room is at a comfortable temperature<\/p>\n<p>Room temperature can play a major role in how productive you are. If you\u2019re too hot you\u2019ll likely start to feel a little sluggish and if you\u2019re too cold, your body will be using most of its energy to try and warm you up. Studies have shown that the optimal temperature for productivity is between 21oC and 25oC. If you work remotely, you may want to consider investing in an air conditioner to keep the temperature consistent all year round. Something like the LG Artcool is a great option for a home office as its inverter compressor is energy efficient and ensures that it runs quietly in the background and won\u2019t distract you.<\/p>\n<p>Work in intervals<\/p>\n<p>Procrastination can be a challenge for many of us. People often put tasks off because they are overwhelmed by them. Learning to work in intervals can be a great way to break the task down into smaller, more manageable chunks. You will need to decide what time interval will work best for you as everyone is different. If you\u2019re new to working in intervals, you may want to start slow. Something like using the Five-Minute Rule could be a great first step. This technique only requires you to commit to a task for five minutes, after which you are free to move on. It\u2019s a simple way to incentivise yourself to get started on something, which is sometimes the most difficult step. And in most cases, you\u2019ll keep working even when the five minutes are up.<\/p>\n<p>Get a good night\u2019s sleep<\/p>\n<p>Evidence suggests that a good night\u2019s sleep can dramatically increase your productivity. This is because improved sleep equals more energy and concentration. One way to improve your sleep quality would be to set up a consistent bedtime routine to help your body get into a rhythm and ensure you get more quality sleep on a regular basis. Room temperature also has a role to play. You\u2019ll want to aim for about 16oC to 18oC as a cooler room is best for sleeping. This can be a challenge during the warmer months so having an air conditioner like the LG Artcool comes in handy once again. It even comes with a \u201cComfort Sleep\u201d mode which automatically adjusts between three different functions for ultimate comfort.<\/p>\n<p>Productivity, like all good habits, may take some time to get right. So start slow and be patient with yourself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">61<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/tips-for-increasing-productivity-in-2023\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
