Productivity is one of the most important things one must-have a freelancer, coach, independent, or business owner. In this blog article, I am sharing 10 of my top tips on how to stay productive in business.
1. Take breaks throughout your day. Giving yourself 5-10 minutes throughout your day can give you some relief and can help you grab a snack, to get water, or to go for a walk to get refreshed.
2. Stay consistent. Consistency is important as you go throughout your workday from finishing your freelance projects, managing client communication, and to applying for new projects.
3. Make sure to sure hydrated. Hydration is one way to stay fueled throughout your day and keeping a water bottle nearby is key.
4. Have a snack on-hand at all times. It’s easy to get hungry while you are working and having a snack on hand can be helpful to keep you going and to help you stay productive.
5. Use a project management tool or have a to-do list. Knowing what you need to work on each day will help you create a plan and get things done.
6. Set up deadlines for your projects, even if you already have one for your client and/or project. This is helpful to keep you productive and to get things done on time.
7. Pay attention to the time clock. Time can get away from you and you always want to know how much time you have to get your work done for your project deadline.
8. Plan out your projects for the week so you can get things scheduled out to stay productive. Using a daily or weekly calendar can help with this.
9. Always communicate with your clients and with those you work with to stay on task. This will help you stay productive in everything you’ve been working on.
10. Stay on task everyday and update your schedule in case of changes in your day and by how much work you get done.
