Stay on task with these 5 productivity tips

“There are only so many hours in the day, so use them wisely. Many successful entrepreneurs swear by the Eisenhower Matrix, where tasks are divided based on whether they’re important, unimportant, urgent or not urgent. You need to block time off on your calendar, set your Slack status to unavailable, and shut yourself away to focus on the tasks that matter most — and when last-minute meetings and unexpected requests inevitably arise, say no.”

“The average business leader spends 20 hours weekly in meetings, with two-thirds admitting it drains productivity. Thankfully, it’s no longer necessary to meet face-to-face or even in real-time. There’s a growing trend towards asynchronous meetings that rely on digital tools, such as messaging apps and collaboration platforms, to communicate and collaborate when convenient. Without constantly pausing to pick up another call, you will remain in your flow state and tackle your to-do list in no time.”
