According to a research, the increased use of social media during working hours or simply at your workplace, acts a “leech” which actually sucks in a major chunk of your efficiency. At an average, every one hour use of social media at work place decreases the productivity and efficiency by 1 percent.Disconnect yourself from social media during working hours. Switch off your smartphone and unhook yourself and don’t fall prey to the social media animal. Update yourself during the schedul ed breaks and stay focused.2. Get Sufficient Amount of SleepScientists suggest that sleep and efficiency have a direct relationship. A minimum eight hours of sleep daily contributes positively towards increased efficiency at work.A research conducted on a team of 8 individuals was conducted to check the impacts of the amount of sleep which they take on their efficiency at work. 4 individuals were given an average sleep of 8 hours while the other 4 were attributed 4 hours. The group of individuals with a higher sleep rate showed positive signs and were more focused, efficient and energetic at work, while the other 4 four recorded a declination in their work efficiency, by a rate of about 3 percent.A strictly followed regular routine of eating, sleeping and waking prompts the body when it’s time to work, play or rest. Waking up invigorated and bushy-tailed will not only help you maintain focus and will also contribute towards reduced stress levels as well.3. Formulate A Time SchemeA sense of accomplishment is a great motivational trigger towards increased efficiency. Formulate a “to-do list” in accordance with the importance and nature of the work required to be done.Keep track of your progress. Striking off the tasks from your list upon accomplishment will give the same kick, which you get while seeing a scene in the movie where the “hero” of the movie slowly walks away from the scene after getting “the job done”. Just Kidding!evalA to-do list will not only help you analyze the timescale and the periods during which your energy and efficiency levels are at the highest, but will also lend a helping hand in deciding when certain tasks should be scheduled.
