Productivity

One of the most difficult things for people to do is manage their time and what they should do with it. Their is only so much time in a day and so much work you can do before you have to sleep or you burn out, the question is what to do and when. The things you do in your day and how important they are is your productivity.

Time management is very important to your productivity, if you watch TV or play video games for most of your day your productivity is low, but if  you manage your time to do work, and on your scheduled breaks you play video games your productivity is high. To manage your productivity while doing your school work and making sure you get the most out of your studying time or paper writing time you should write outlines or make mind maps. Their is a very handy mind mapping program on bubbl.us where you can map out your thoughts but on the computer. I actually prefer it this way, only because when I am thinking I tend to not worry about the neatness of my mind map, so when I'm done with it, I am not able to read it at all. This way I can organize my thoughts neatly and save it, so I don't have to worry about losing a piece of paper either.

According to powerhomebiz it is necessary to have set schedule for your day and follow it. The schedule can either be on audio, be visual or on an electronic device. It needs to be a realistic schedule with appropriate amounts of time for each task and making sure personal time is included, like a lunch break.

After learning about productivity I definitely need to improve on mine, and am going to start today by writing a schedule, and trying my very hardest to follow it.
