I am so happy to welcome this guest post from Magdalene. You can find details on how to contact this amazing blogger below.
The first time I heard the word motion without productivity from my line manager, it sounded weird to me. How can one be unproductive yet move about working all day? This is so true sometimes for me. There are days that I take stock of my to-do at the end of the day and find out I barely scratched the surface. How can I boost my productivity either working from home or at work?
Here are 5 tips on how to boost your productivity in 2022 like a pro. These tips will come in handy for anyone looking to improve their productivity ASAP.
Make a to-do list
Like the saying, if you fail to plan then you plan to fail. So, it is true if you fail to plan your day. I feel most productive when I have a plan for the day.
Work your way through your to-do list as you go about your day. One way to write my to-do list is by using a planner. Planners are very useful in being productive. Especially digital planners that prompt you to do your task as it comes. You can also read my post on why you need a digital planner to boost your productivity. In this planner, you can split your task into small bits.
Start with the hardest task of the day before moving to the easiest task. Also, prioritize your task as urgent, not so urgent etc. So, you tackle the very urgent task first before moving to another task for the day.
If you would like to write a guest post for my blog, check out this post here on the benefits of doing so.

Take short breaks
We all feel like we have so much to do daily. So, we may feel tempted to work for straight hours without breaks. Doing this is bad for you. Plus, you get burnt out faster this way.
Always incorporate times for breaks in your work. Take short breaks, like 5 minutes away from your screen or your workstation. If possible, take a short nap for 10 minutes within your work. This will greatly improve your productivity.
So, while your work, take these short breaks to keep you refreshed to carry out your daily task and maximise productivity.

Cut out distractions
There is so much noise and distractions we must deal with these days. The temptation to spend time catching up with colleagues instead of working. Also, you may spend so much time scrolling through social media without care.
It is even worse if you’re a stay-at-home working mom. The distraction from the kids, house chores, errands, cleaning etc. Cut out these distractions by blocking out time for your task. If you work from home allocate time for the home tasks and work separately.
Have a discussion with your family on the time you blocked out for work. In this way, they will help you limit your distractions. So, by limiting distractions you get to do more of your work. This will in turn boost your daily productivity.
Do a daily Call-over of your to-do list
My day job is banking. One skill I have learnt from my job is doing a daily call over of my task. This skill I have also used to boost my productivity. At the end of each day, go through your to-do list to track your achievement. Any task you cannot achieve on the same day, you can move over to the next day.
This daily tracking will help you stay on top of your tasks. Also, it will boost your daily productivity.
Summary
In conclusion, productivity is achievable for anyone. All you need is to apply these 5 tips on how to boost your productivity in 2022. These tips will help you squash your daily goals and overall boost your productivity. Don’t forget to comment on other tips you use to boost your productivity.
