Discipline, Dedication, and Productivity: Lessons from Real Life

Productivity should improve in every work. Everybody wants there to be improvement in productivity in that thing, whether you work smartly or hard in it. Everybody wants that no matter how many hours you are putting into something, you should see productivity in that thing, see it as efficient and effective, and get appreciation for that thing. So everybody wants that productivity to be reflected in every work. Many people feel that no matter how big or small their work is, it should be valued. Even when the task seems simple, they put in their time and effort, and naturally, they want their contribution to be respected and appreciated. After all, everyone wishes to see some recognition for the work they do.

The first step to increase your productivity or focus more on it is to stop multitasking. Whenever you multitask or do multiple tasks at the same time, you notice that not a single task of yours gets completed and all the work you do remains half-done. Many people say that multitasking means saving time. But I would say that multitasking means that you are not giving much time to that work. A lot of errors will come in every task and whatever work you do. What time will be wasted, and you will not even understand the answer. What things have been left out, or what things have not been done properly there? So, never multitask. Whenever you do something, do one thing and do it with focus.

Another important thing that increases productivity is the place where you are working. Suppose you are working at a place where you are getting noise everywhere. There is some different noise from the back and some different noise from the front; your focus is changing repeatedly, or you are not able to concentrate on the work you are doing, as it is affecting you a lot. A simple and most important trick of productivity is to concentrate completely on whatever work you are doing. So what many people do is that whenever they are working, they stop working completely. They sit alone and work. They are working very well.

Time management also plays a very important role in productivity. If you have a 24-hour day, then it happens with many people that they are not able to do even one task in the whole day, and there are some people who do very simple tasks in 24 hours, so you just have to do time management—that is, which task will be done at what time. When you learn this thing, you will know which task will be done at what time and which particular type of work will be done at what time. Then your mind becomes very focused because you know that you have to spend this much time on this task and this much time on that task. Then what happens is that your time is not wasted and you are able to fully utilize your whole day.

There are many times when you are not that motivated and you are about to leave the work you are doing. Self-discipline plays the most important role in this. Whenever you feel that you will not be able to do that work properly or you will not be able to do that work productively, then you have to have self-discipline and convince yourself that you can do this work, and you have to motivate yourself on everything. Therefore, whenever you are working, it is very important to have discipline.

Take my own example, when I started my internship. I was very easy then. I used to start doing all the work at once. I used to think that I would complete all the work in one day and enjoy the rest of the day. But it happened with me that I was not able to do all the work properly, and whatever you hear is different, so productivity is so important at that time, but do it with a full heart and with full discipline. Only then will you get full appreciation for it. When you do work with a full heart and with full dedication, then you understand why the work will look so good and look so good.

Another important thing that contributes a lot to productivity is that your positive mindset is such that many times some incident happens or something is going on in your life due to which you do not feel like working. Like there are a lot of problems at home while sleeping, or relationship problems, or some problem in which you are not feeling like working. If your mind is positive or you work completely positively, then you will not have so many problems. Many people also have such general problems in which EMI dates are coming, EMI funds are not available, or there is some problem in which those people do not feel like working at all. At this time, if you look for a little positivity in it or you work with a positive mindset, then there will not be so much of a problem. There will be a problem, but not so much.

Lastly, I would like to say that productivity is something that you will have to maintain. It is not that productivity comes to you in a jiffy from time to time. This is not an easy step. It is a very hard step. You will learn it gradually. There are many people who get stuck and never learn it. So whenever you learn productivity, you will learn it very well, and there are simple steps to learn productivity, like avoiding tasking. Then your mindset has to be kept positive, and your environment has to be kept peaceful. Then your time management should be very good, and the most important thing is that you should give different time and priority to each task. Your time management should be very good.
