30 Experts Share Their Best Productivity Tips

Which one of these 30 tips will help you get more work done today?

Want a boost for your day?

These productivity experts have each shared their best tip to give you a jumpstart. The time you invest in reading these will pay off in dividends as you apply the ideas to your daily routine. Do they work? Let me know by email if you find success.

1. My tip for office workers to be more productive is to focus on one thing at a time. You can still have more than one activity going on at the same time; but at the moment when you're doing one thing, focus and put all the other things aside. When you see people getting overwhelmed, flustered, and confused, it's because they are thinking about too many things at once. If you have a lot to do, do them all but do them all sequentially. A good analogy is when you go to the gym. You may have a whole routine you do, but when you're on one machine, you're not thinking about the others--you're thinking about the machine you're on, and then you move to the next and think about that machine, and so on. Work can be the same. And you'll do each job and all of them together better. --Jeff Stoller, business executive, entrepreneur, consultant, and author

2. Write down one or two things that you absolutely need to get done. If you're an entrepreneur/business owner, make sure that at least one of them revolves around something that will put more money in your pocket (directly or indirectly). Keep that paper on your person all day. Refer to it. Don't do other things until you can cross those one or two things off your list. --Adam Dailey, CEO of Funly Events

3. My innovation agency, Growth Engine, created The Whiteboard Technique, a kind of interactive suggestion box for employees. Managers simply post an organizational challenge on a whiteboard that is in a public place--such as the hallway, conference room, or cafeteria--and invite their co-workers to add suggestions/ideas to the whiteboard. After a week's time, the manager records (and then pursues) the best ideas/suggestions on the whiteboard. He or she then posts a new weekly challenge. It's easy to do, doesn't really cost anything, and it has created some huge productivity improvements/wins for our clients. --Bryan Mattimore, co-founder and "Chief Idea Guy" of Growth Engine and author of 21 Days to a Big Idea
