10 Ways to become more productive at work
1. Workspace is one of the most crucial things to be taken into consideration. Make sure your workplace motivates you to be more productive. Be it your home, office space or a coworking space, always work in a place that brings out the best in you and motivates you to do better. Coworking is the new trend as it gives a corporate setup at a very cost efficient price be it for a company and its employees, a startup business or an alternative to your work from home.

2. Avoid trying to do a lot of work all at a time instead focus on one task at a time and complete it. Do the most important one at first, see to that you give your best at that one task.
3. Avoid distractions as much as possible. This comes under workspace, it depends on the workspace whether it allows you to focus or there is a lot of room for distraction. Work from home usually tends to distract you with kids and people around. This is one of the reasons why coworking is trending now, you have no room for distraction as you will always be around people who are also working, which motivates you to do better.
4. Create a timetable for the day and see to it that you finish the works you have assigned yourself at the specific times. This will help you to be more organized and reduce stress and also you can have a track of the tasks done. Also make a checklist and tick off the tasks when they are done. It gives you a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.

7. Set short term as well as long term goals, set the long term goals in such a way that these short term goals eventually help you to achieve the long term goal. It is important to keep procrastinating the goals you set for yourself. This will buildup your self confidence and work more efficiently.
8. Listen to music once a while as it can help you relax for some time and keep your mind cool for a while. Don’t make it a distraction but a relaxation tool.
9. Main tip is to stop using your smartphones at work, as it can be a big distraction. When you are at work give a break to your social media and smartphones.
