Do you often feel overwhelmed by your workload but barely get the expected results at the end of the day?\r\n\r\nThe long lockdown required most companies to shift their working model to remote or hybrid work. This brings freedom to employees at the beginning &#8211; no more attendance records, supervision, or office rules.\r\n\r\nBut shortly after, these privileges put much pressure on strained online meetings when your team couldn\u2019t develop solutions for work bottlenecks. Your working hours are stretched day and night without proper break time, and the worst is you are always frustrated and feeling underappreciated.\r\n\r\nIf you feel related, maybe it\u2019s time to take a deep breath and think about more productive working methods.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2><strong>Quality better than quantity<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5586&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]It doesn&#8217;t matter how many hours you\u2019ve worked industriously, but to what extent does your result impact?\r\n\r\nIn modern society, peer pressure and pressure to succeed may inadvertently turn employees into robots that only automatically get as much done as possible. This causes overexertion and overwhelm. A slight shift in mindset to focus more on the impact of work may be the key to your success and job satisfaction.\r\n\r\nIf you look closely at your long-running to-do list, only a few things mean to you and add more value to the company. You need to spend more resources on those things, your time, and grey matters.\r\n\r\nIf you only have time for one task, which will be prioritized? What is the most important work to you that helps your team gain achievements and impacts other long-term goals? It\u2019s definitely not replying to emails!\r\n\r\nThe 80\/20 rule says that 20% of essential tasks will create 80% of results. However, most of us tend to procrastinate on this worthy one-fifth, instead spending time on the other majority that makes very little change and is usually a waste of time. This may be because these jobs are easier to do and seem not to take too much effort, or they are old tasks that have not been decluttered yet. Let\u2019s try some tips to cut them off:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Try to cut all extraneous tasks and set a fixed time for the rest. It could be an hour at the end of the day, with a to-do list for the next day.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Use automation and technology: schedule your email response for office hours (make you look more professional!), schedule articles and posts, and manage meetings and reminders.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Focus on at most 3 important tasks per day.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Don\u2019t let urgent tasks get in the way of your important tasks. Learn to say NO politely.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2><strong>Focus on impact mindset<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5588&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]When you spend more time thinking about the outcome, the old rules and procedures are no longer a barrier to you. By then, you have the most potential to innovate and create incredible things.\r\n\r\nThe very first step is to ask \u201cwhy\u201d before beginning to do something. \u201cWhy\u201d questions force our brains to think more analytically and seek the most effective ways.\r\n\r\nOnly when knowing the reason for doing something can you decide what and how to achieve it. For example, by understanding the objective of an ad is to convince group A to experience the service, you only focus on this group\u2019s behaviors and habits. As a result, you write and distribute ads more exactly to the target audience.\r\n\r\nThe productivity consultant Chris Bailey <a href=\"https:\/\/alifeofproductivity.com\/how-to-discover-your-most-important-tasks\/\">shared<\/a> that if something that remains on your list is fun, don\u2019t cut it. This means nurturing your interests and creating something more than capitalist value, which means more to you.\r\n\r\nWhat has a good and lasting impact on the community, the society, the people, or even on yourself will be more meaningful. That\u2019s what differentiates you from 21st-century robots: they just automatically finish the program.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A small switch in mind takes a lot of work and effort to eliminate the old habit of overexerting and getting things done aimlessly. In return, it is worthy because it promises a happier and more meaningful office life.\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s try it today and hope there will be fewer and fewer of us moping in front of the screen and asking a frustrating question, \u201cHow on earth am I doing this?\u201d\r\n\r\nFor people-centric leaders, helping your teams answer this question can help you boost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexos.work\/learn\/the-ultimate-guide-to-employee-engagement-expert-tips\">employee engagement<\/a>.
