Increasing productivity isn’t just about getting more done; it’s about getting more of the right things done and in the right order. If you ever find yourself wondering where the time went and how you got so little done despite the fact that you were very busy, then these tips are for you.

Get started early. Starting your day early can increase productivity and reduce stress by allowing you to get more done before the “time crunch” hits in the afternoon. One way to get started early is by making sure that you’re in bed early enough so that you can get at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep.
Don’t start your day with the most trivial tasks. Do the important things first. By starting your day early and focusing on the most important tasks first, you insure that you have enough time to finish what really needs to be done.
Focus and avoid multitasking. We’ve discussed this before; but trying to do more than one thing at a time can actually reduce your productivity by slowing you down. Instead of trying to do multiple tasks, focus on one thing until it is finished or at a natural stopping point.
Avoid distractions. When working on your most important tasks, turn off your phone, avoid your email and resist the urge to check the news. Interruptions in your day can reduce productivity significantly because it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get back into the flow of things.
