Can you increase your productivity by 50 % ?

Maybe, just maybe, you can. Here is a tip that might help you to do just that. Make a file of the “Stuff” you have to do. Include all of those things that are not “Close to the Money”. I like those colored file folders for this or even better one of those accordion folders with the fold over flap and string. Just chuck it all in there for now.

Deal with it away from your desk, phone, and computer. Go where you can’t be disturbed. A library or coffee shop can make this chore a break from the chaos of the daily office battle. When you are there, only work on the “Stuff” that is in the folder. I’ll bet that you get it done in 1/3 less time this way. You also gain more productive time when you are back in the office and you lose the start / stop of our interrupt driven world.

Re: Howdy from Chicago! Re: Howdy from Chicago! - Hi Mario, Welcome to the forum. I was intrigued by the title of your blog (as I live in Japan) so I checked it out. You have some interesting posts. I like the idea of playing games online for 21billion hours to help the world survive! Nice talk. I also like the idea of increasing sleep to increase productivity. Yep, sounds like my kind of blog!
Re: A Tip to Increase Traffic Re: A Tip to Increase Traffic - Hi tyroneshum, Blogging is one more way to increase traffic, and I found that the schedule option is helping me posting regularly, once a week I add 3-5 posts and then if I have more to add I write another post and publish it. This way my blog gets updated on a regular basis, and I don't have to wait for the muse to come. All internet marketers will tell you backlinks, backlinks, and more backlink, increase your site or blog relativity and you increase traffic.
Re: What do think you about these statisitcs? Re: What do think you about these statisitcs? - [quote="Sab3awy":uve2pm9e]social networks are not just for fun. Say Twitter, I usually check it to find the updates about major news through it. So, I think it is not much of "wasting time"[/quote:uve2pm9e] Social media is a great way to break up the day in the office in my opinion. Employees can take their mind off of the monotonous work they are doing just for a few minutes. In my opinion I don't think they are wasting time at all. Consider this, would you rather block these types of sites and have your employees work all day like a drone? Or would you rather have these sites available and perhaps see an increase in productivity because your employees are working happier and in not in such a mindless state?

Re: From $0.30 to $300 / Day on Google AdSense Part 2 Re: From $0.30 to $300 / Day on Google AdSense Part 2 - Hi Evan, Thank you for this Adsense tutorial, it is a big help. I remember when I first Added the ad unit to my blog how I enjoyed seeing the numbers go up. It is not high at all, but i earn $0.50-$1/day. I am now going to change the layout of my blog and see if it will help to increase the daily income. Of course I need to increase the traffic too, but that's another story.
