What is productivity, and how can it be improved?

For the majority of individuals, success in life is often equated with productivity. In simpler terms, the more tasks one accomplishes, the better. Many people perceive productivity as having lengthy to-do lists with items marked off. However, the concept of productivity is more intricate than that. It encompasses more than just efficiency in task completion; it comprises three distinct components that contribute to achieving productivity:

• Lots of completed tasks;
• Little wasted effort;
• Excellent finished work.

How to measure productivity 

If you try to measure your productivity, you might answer a few questions:

1. How many meetings a day do you usually have?
2. How much time in a day do you have to focus on one task?
3. Do you often juggle multiple tasks and try to fit in unrealistic deadlines?
4. Do you have time for regular breaks and for eating properly?

These questions help you to be aware of some difficulties in your work approach and time management.

But there is always a solution to a problem.
