How to Improve Your Productivity as an Entrepreneur
Entrepreneurs often face a lot of challenges, making it difficult for them to plan and handle all of these issues at once. As a result, productivity is crucial for entrepreneurs. Pranav Arora, an Indian American entrepreneur believes that the key is to improve yourself as an individual and become more productive. Here are a few tips that you can follow in order to improve your productivity as an entrepreneur.
1. Plan your day the night before
It is very simple and effective. Each night, spend five minutes identifying the tasks you want to accomplish the next day and point out the ones that are really important. In this way, you activate and prepare your subconscious for the activity of the next day.
2. Utilize work times without interruptions
You need to focus on the development of your company, and a part of your day should be dedicated to doing the work, without contemplation. Without people interrupting, without calls, without Twitter, without emails, it blocks a few hours of the day to work in this way (the Pomodoro technique can help you a lot). You can do more in two hours of concentrated, uninterrupted work than in an eight-hour workday.
3. Face the most important task of the day first
Before doing anything else, start by facing the most important task of the day — the one that will have the greatest impact on your progress — no matter how complicated it may be. If it is complex, surely you will not finish it in a couple of hours and you will have to alternate it with other activities, but you have already started it. You have broken the resistance, the ball is rolling.
4. Take advantage of downtime
You need to meet people and find solutions to the numerous problems that appear. And there are many times where you’ll find yourself free enough to plan projects, design solutions or simply read relevant information that you will need. Always carry a notebook with you and, if you foresee a long downtime, take your laptop or your tablet too.
5. Uses efficient forms of communication
The communications that are used in real time and simultaneously between the affiliated parties, such as telephone calls or conversations, are difficult to manage and usually result in habitual distractions. It mainly uses asynchronous media, such as email, where the answers do not have to be immediate. Above all, avoid meetings. In this way, you can concentrate on your work and manage all your communications at the time of the day that you consider most appropriate.
