• GET A RAISE

BY IMPROVING YOUR
WORK PRODUCTIVITY
3

• Productivity is a very important skill that can
  be a huge asset to your career.

4

• Fortunately, productivity is something that can
  be learned if it doesn't come naturally to you.

5

• It includes effective time management, planning
  and follow-up. Here are six tips to help improve
  your productivity

1

• MAKE LISTS

7

• Lists help you make sure that you are not missing
  anything that needs to get done.

8

• Write down everything you need to do and add two
  columns. One for the time each task needs and the
  other for your deadline.

9

• This will help you to determine the order in
  which things need to be done and will help inform
  you in step 2.

• Plan Each Day

11

• If you spend a few minutes planning your day, you
  will be able to determine the most efficient
  strategy for getting your tasks completed.

12

• When you are planning to run errands, the first
  thing to be determined is the location.

13

• Then plan a route that most effectively gets you
  where you need to go without backtracking.

14

• The same strategy can be used to plan your tasks
  in the workplace.
• Make sure to add a few extra tasks to the end in
  case you finish ahead of time.

• Create a Focused Environment

16

• What do you need in order to focus?
• Quiet?
• Clean?
• Everything in front of you in a large, colorful
  display?

17

• Work with your needs and create an environment
  that allows you to focus while still fitting into
  your workplace expectations.

18

• For example, you probably wont be allowed to
  blast your music but wearing earbuds might be
  permissible.

19

• If you're having trouble focusing, switch it up
  and make it quieter, cleaner, out in the open or
  more secluded
• until you find the formula that works for you.

• Proofread
• and Edit

21

• A work product that has been double- and
  triple-checked will take longer to do, but it
  will also show a higher quality standard of work.
  As a bonus, it will require less time later.

22

• Work that has been consistently double-checked
  will stand out to supervisors, because they know
  that they can count on you

23

• to deliver a quality item that won't need to be
  sent back to fix typos, grammatical mistakes or
  math errors.

• Follow Up

25

• Whether your job is sales or in-house document
  production, take some time and follow up with the
  person who receives your work.

26

• Get an idea on what they liked and found helpful,
  as well as what they don't like.

27

• If your job involves customers, follow up to make
  sure the products they bought were helpful and if
  they would like to be informed of new items.

28

• Good communication can help you to create an
  atmosphere of trust, and teach you how to do an
  even better job.

29

• Know When to Ask for Help

30

• Businesses are not built as one-person
  establishments or even as one-position
  establishments for a reason.

31

• Tasks are often best completed when broken down
  into parts, and using people with specialized
  skill sets to complete pieces of it can help
  everyone be an expert in their section.

32

• If you find that something in your task is out of
  your element, such as a technical item or
  repeated series of tasks that could be automated,
  consider asking someone else in the office for
  their help.
