A graphic by CharityComms titled 'Three productivity hacks' The first tip reads: Eat your frogs - These are tasks you donβt want to complete. You might find taking the task on first thing and getting that βfrog eatenβ helps you to be more productive throughout the day.
A graphic by CharityComms titled 'Three productivity hacks' The second tip reads: Pomodoro technique - Set a timer for 25 minutes to focus on the task. No emails or Teams interruptions. Then after 25 minutes, you spend five minutes doing absolutely anything else but the task.
A graphic by CharityComms titled 'Three productivity hacks' The third tip reads: Give up (temporarily) - Weβre not machines. Sometimes youβre just not going to get any productive work done, so donβt fight it. Give up and do something else for ten minutes: chat to a colleague, send an email, or go on your phone. Wait until your state of mind changes and then return and have another go.
Monday marks a fresh start to the week! Whether itβs planning your top priorities, tackling the most challenging task first or setting small, achievable goals, we hope itβs a productive one. Here are three productivity hacks from @mattcwrites.bsky.social: bit.ly/4fEPLf8
