Introduction
Do you actually know how busy and when your staff is really busy? There are so many staff members that always looks busy, but are they just keeping themselves busy, or are they actually busy with productive work?

Focus on most important tasks first
Prioritization is a key part to productivity

Cultivate Deep Work
By Newport's definition, deep work refers to: “Professional activity performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limit. These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and are hard to replicate.”

Keep a distraction list to stay focused
Often our own mind can be the biggest source of distractions when we sit down to work: • We suddenly remember the bananas we forgot to pick up at the grocery store. • We begin worrying about the presentation we have to give next week. • A sense of dread creeps over us when we realize how much work we still have to get done by the end of the day. The Distractions List is a simple but powerful technique for dealing with internal distractions like these. By immediately writing down our distracting thoughts, we signal to our minds that those distractions are acknowledged and will be taken care of if necessary. I first came across this idea, by the way, in Chris Bailey’s book Hyperfocus.
