The 5 Ways To Be Productive Throughout The Year

 


It's the beginning of the year where most of us have promised ourselves, 'I am gonna give my 100% this year and be serious towards the achievement of my goals'. Are you the one who has framed few goals like this:


  1. Get up very early in the morning

  2. Exercise regularly

  3. Study more hard

  4. Be a topper of the class

  5. Chuck out the fast foods

  6. Stop being much on WhatsApp, Instagram Or facebook

  7. Earn more money

  8. Be professional in attitude

  9. Look more beautiful

  10. Cut short futile expenses


These are some of the top listed resolutions made every year wherein 90% of the people fail to stand up to it, the other 9% partially are able to fulfill it and only 1% hits the goal.  

By the end of the one or two month we seem to be more occupied with other fancy things that keep attracting us every moment. Ultimately leading to our failure. Eventually we fail to achieve our goals. We failed to be productive. We fail to accomplish our goals. Eventually realizing that, We failed again this year. 






As we welcome the new year with pomp and splendor, let this year bring in brighter visions to all of us to enable us to chase our dreams with high passion and dedication. 


Want to be productive? Want to see yourself successful in achieving your goals? Then you are reading the right article. Do share with many others whom you feel this could be helpful for to be productive throughout the year:


  1. Draft Agenda

Agenda is the intense plan that we list or It is the outline of things to be considered or done. Agenda is a plan organized by time of events or things to do. To start with any work, the plan should be foolproof. Hence a clear, achievable, easy and smart agenda is what is required to be productive every moment. So create a plan either daily, weekly, monthly or annually in order to give your best in fulfilling your resolutions or goals. Drafting a well planned agenda helps you to track your movement and enables you to know how far or how near you are in achieving  your dreams. 

  1. Explore Power

Every individual born is blessed with some or the other strengths in the form of creativity and talent which makes them stand unique among the crowd. Accordingly we are expected to make a detailed list of our power and strengths in order to ensure that we give more of it towards accomplishing our dreams. Understanding one's own strength and preparing an agenda with respect to it, adds value in being productive. It ensures that we are active and motivated enough in the journey of fulfilling our goals and resolutions. So pen down your strengths and explore the hidden power in you. 

  1. Manipulate Illnesses

No individual is perfect. Everyone is subjected to some or the other weaknesses. The wise man always takes an initiative to work well upon all the weaknesses that he or she possess so that no hindrance pulls them away from their vision and goal. So be wise and smartly list down your weaknesses, be it big or small, work on them one by one and stand a chance to cheerfully accomplish your goals. 

  1. Hammer Distractions

Distractions are part of life. But the one who is able to overcome it wins the battle. Distractions can be in the form of social media and networking, peer groups, family circle, love relationship etc. Be smart in handling these distractions. The more you keep yourself away from this the closer you reach in achieving your goals. Remember to hammer it down and be jubilant in your achievements. 

  1. Scan Progression

Last but not the least, it's very important that we track and monitor our progress on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in order to keep ourselves well aware of how much more and how many miles more to cover. Be alert that you give your best everyday and the rest will be taken care of. Be perfect and smart in your approach and win hearts with your success. Enjoy every moment and be the creator of your own life. 




Simply boosted. So get up, get going. Charge yourself. It's still not late. Don't give up but stand strong and live your dreams. 


Happy Productive Learning!!!
