Contractualization is one of the many ways companies hire people. Whether their employees are working contractual or not, these people are going to struggle with being able to produce work. Sure there are going to be days that they’ll be performing at top levels, but that’s not always the case. If they do that, they’ll burn out easily.

If you’re one of those people who have productive days and lazy days, luckily, there are some things you can do to up your productivity without burning out too much. Here are some ways to help boost your productivity.

coffee break1. Take breaks. Breaks help you refresh your mind. Sleep for ten minutes, walk around, have a cup of coffee, anything to take your mind away from what you’re doing.

2. Work in short bursts. If you’re familiar with the Pomodoro technique, do it. Working in short periods of time can help you perform on top of your game more than actually focusing for hours. That will definitely tire you out faster.

3. No distractions. But music might help. Listen to music while working for some background noise. Depends on you what genre helps you focus more. Doesn’t have to be metal, doesn’t have to be classical. However, you should keep away from your phone or going to websites that don’t actually have anything to do with what you’re supposed to be doing.

4. Just do it. One of the most difficult things about starting your workday is actually starting. Once you’re in the zone, you’ll be in it for as long as you need to be and you’ll get done what you need to get done.

5. Morning or afternoon? Some people work better in the morning, and some people work better in the afternoon. Find out when you’re most productive and work in that time frame

6. Write it down. Keeping a pen and notebook close while you’re working can be a big help when it comes to suddenly remembering what else you need to do. When you remember something for later, your mind keeps on reminding you about it over and over again to make sure you’ll remember it for when you actually get to it, making you distracted. If you write it down, that’ll be the end of it, and you’ll be able to get to whatever it is you wrote down later.

7. Sleep. Well, not on your desk, but get the right amount of sleep. Not getting enough sleep can lower your productivity and can make you sluggish.

8. Getting some exercise makes you healthy and releases some much-needed happy hormones to circulate in your system. Not only are you helping yourself keep fit, it also helps you boost your productivity. Park in the farthest corner of the parking lot in your office and walk, or go out for lunch and walk to your favorite lunch spot. Anything to get your blood circulating.

This advice might not work for everybody, but it’s worth a try, especially when it’s getting more and more difficult to focus at work. Good luck!

    Working at home requires really high self-discipline. I started to work at home about a year ago and yeap, many distractions can take away our productivity if we don’t control it. Very obvious is our phone. I have to really put that aside during hours that I really need to concentrate to complete my task. 😀

      You’re so right! My phone is my worst enemy when it comes to productivity as well. It’s a habit I didn’t realize I had until I started working from home.

    Working in a home can make it so that you have days where you don’t want to do anything. Boosting up those short bursts of getting lots done so that you can have some down time is important.

      I can agree with that! I like to work in short bursts as well. There are some days where I truly just like to enjoy that I have the option of taking the day off without consequence. Taking a couple days a week to get all my work done is truly my favorite way of doing things.

      I agree! Scientifically they’ve proven that short bursts of work produce BETTER work as well as a better employee!

    Great tips! I’ve been sick the last several months so my productivity has definitely plummeted which is disappointed especially when there’s not much you can do about it. During those times that I do feel well, it’s so essential for me to make the most of that time and to be as productive as possible – these tips are definitely helpful!

      Bless your heart, I hope you get to feeling better so you can get caught up. I’ve been there and it’s the worst feeling to get behind but not be able to control. Thankfully, working from home gives you more opportunity to get little bits done here and there while the medicine is working, etc.

      Distractions are the hardest to eliminate especially with children, lol! However, that’s why I choose to do my work in the mornings. However you can get around it!

    My best time to work is early morning. However, I have one little one that seems to know as soon as I turn over to get out of bed…that has been a little difficult as of late!

      This makes me giggle because I feel like this sometimes as well. It’s like they have a radar that goes off.

    These are very good tips. You can easily get tired of working straight and taking breaks can definitely fix that. Having a good schedule that allows you to work during hours that you feel more energized and productive will help a lot too.

    I could always use a productivity boost! I told my Husband that Fall TV is impacting my work. I need to focus in a space that will help me be productive.

    I used to work long hours before and realized that I got less productive as the days passed. Getting a break and having enough sleep helps a lot.

    You know – that short burst idea is something that might seem obvious, but I havent done that and I know it would help me. I sometimes just plow through work and burn out… this is so simple but clearly effective!

      IT took me a while working from home to realize the short bursts thing as well. However, I think we will always be adjusting the way we do things simply because we can! That’s the beauty of it!
