5 Guerilla Tactics To Increase Your Productivity

Productivity

• Are you operating at your highest level of personal productivty?
• Do you want to get more done in less time?
• Are you trying to accomplish too many objectives that drain your energy?

One of the biggest reasons why many people struggle to stay productive is that they aren't organized enough. If you're constantly spending time finding files and locating the right information then it isn't a good situation for anybody and can really slow you down. This applies to both your computer and the workspace around you.

Perhaps one of the biggest reasons many people struggle to stay productive is that they are surrounded by distractions.
Let's face it. Everyday life is full of distractions - whether they're online or offline - and eliminating these distractions (or at the very least reducing them) is absolutely critical to staying productive.

Fighting Distractions

Distractions can be particularly problematic in the online world. I reckon we've all been in the situation where these distractions start to spiral out of control...

You see an interesting looking YouTube video and decide to watch it before you get stuck into your work. At the end of the video, another one catches your eye and so you decide to watch that too. Inside that video something captures your imagination and so you decide to do a quick Google search to find out more. "Wow, I didn't know it was possible to do that" you say to yourself, before finding an entire resource on the subject.

As you're browsing, an email notification window pops up telling you that you've received a message from someone you've been trying to get hold of for a while. You type out a reply and whilst you're in your inbox you notice an interesting looking email from your favorite marketer... Can you see what's happening here?

Before you know it, 3 hours have gone by and you haven't even started the original task you set out to do. This is crazy - and yet it's an easy cycle to get into and one that millions of people find themselves struggling with every single day.

Also, distractions don't have to be online either. They can be in the form of the TV, radio and even your own friends and family. Each time you're kids come into your office and ask for something you're probably losing a LOT of time in terms of productivity.

Sure, they might only come in and ask you a quick question before leaving again, but the problem is that it distracts you away from your thoughts. By the time you've re-focused and gotten back on track, you've lost a lot more time than you probably think.

Getting caught up in setting too many objectives is an easy trap that wages war against your ability to be productive. Even though you are completing tasks, you will probably feel like you are never getting anything accomplished. This will cause the priorities of your life to conflict with one another and you will be left powerless and discouraged. You sacrifice your home life and “down time” in order to complete everything you purposed yourself to do.

Increase productivity

There are many ways to increase productivity. No matter what it is that you're doing in life, these tips will help you no matter what. The truth is that focusing and being right on the edge to succeed in life requires for you to think deeply and really stay focused. So, to help you out, here's exactly 5 guerilla tactics to increase your productivity.

• Work in the morning - Usually when you just wake up and you eat breakfast, your mind is stimulated and you end up gaining more focus. So, try working in the morning to see if that works or helps. If you aren't so focused in the morning, try during the middle of your day around 2.00PM.
• Remove distractions - Removing distractions is the best way to gain momentum and to stay focused throughout building your campaign. I suggest that you try removing all of the distractions around you like Facebook, checking emails, cell phone, and really spend time on what you're doing.
• Outsource - When you outsource your work, you give them the responsibility, allowing for you to spend time with your family, or do something else for your business.
• Get an education - No matter what kind of  business you're tying to build, if you get an ebook, join a membership, or seek help on key issues, you can succeed and increase your productivity because of the fact that you're receiving knowledge which you can implement.
• Relax - If you really want to increase productivity, take a breather every few minutes. Just like everybody else, when you get stuck, there's no doubt that you won't be able to get out. To prevent yourself from struggling during those times that you lack focus, relax and take a breather. This will help you to gain more focus when you go back.

These tips may not work for everybody, as each person deals with different situations and experiences different things. However, I'm sure you'll find at least one tip that will help increase your productivity.
