Increasing productivity by Thinking

   

   In the quest for insights, Wisdom and Ideas to possess a reasonable edge among our collegues in the outside world, it is too important for a person to set some time apart to think deeply alone because that is where insights are.

      If you work in an Organization, your day probably looks something like this…

   Get to work in time, log into your computer, chat to your colleagues, make a drink, chat some more to your colleagues, then attend your first meeting of the day!

    Well depending on your place of work but in the real sense,  working in a very corporate organization, where there may be pressures from the left and right for promotion and others, increasing your productivity you would agree with me is not a joke and that is why i am exposing to you that in such cases that productivity is increased by thinking alone. Though rubbing ideas together also contributes but you need to think alone also.

It may seem  social and the best way to begin the day, but you’ll be failing to make use of a crucial component of success: active alone time.

What  Is by active alone time?

Well, it’s the period during your  day (or evening) which you should set aside for solitude. This alone time will be when you tap into your creative mind to come up with:

• Solutions to problems
• Ideas for boosting your business
• Ways to increase your productivity

When you’re busy chatting with colleagues, dealing with clients (or trying to stay awake in meetings!), then your mind is fully occupied and busy and kind of unproductive for fresh ideas and insights. There’s no space left for anything else.

It’s only when you have some alone time that your thoughts will have chance to






 arrange and compose themselves, and your subconscious mind can begin to offer you ideas and insights to help you reach your goals.

Of course, alone time could easily be wasted through daydreaming and letting your mind drift onto trivial stuff but with Discipline that will be checked.

That’s why I want you to focus on active alone time.

This is the time you put aside to work towards getting results.

For example, imagine you have a chance to be elevated at your office or where you work. The only thing between you and the promotion is an interview with the senior management team. What would be your way to prepare?

Well, we’re all different, but I’m sure you would include doing some research on the new job and chatting to your colleagues about what the role entails.

These are certainly useful steps, but I believe you’ll find more value in spending some time alone to think through:

• Why you want the job
• What you can bring to the role
• Why the senior management team should hire you

By giving your mind and spirit  some quiet time to think  alone and meditate about the above points, you’ll be amazed with what it can come up with - and how quickly it can deliver creative solutions that could increase your productivity perfectly suited to your needs.

At this point, you may be thinking:

“How much active alone time a day should I spend?”

It’s a good question. And my answer would be - spend as much time as you need.

For some people, 10 minutes active alone time in a morning is all they require to get the necessary focus and ideas for the rest of the day. Other people may take longer than this, or prefer to have two or three active alone time sessions a day.

 I’m not suggesting that you spend  hours a day just thinking about work. (If you were to do this, you’d barely have any time left to actually do any work!) But I am recommending that you put aside a small amount of time every working day to give your mind the space and freedom to help you reach your goals and potential.

 And  the most important of all, as you think, think POSITIVE no matter what.

By giving yourself regular periods of active alone time, you’ll immediately start to increase your confidence, motivation and productivity. And if - like my earlier example - you’re looking to climb the career ladder, then active alone time will give you the boost you need to succeed.

If you haven’t tried this before. I highly recommend that you give it a try.
