Getting through the workday can be challenging. Sometimes it can feel as though there just isn't enough time to finish everything that you need to get done in a day. For some people, being productive and getting more done comes to them naturally. For others, it is a skill that needs to be practiced every day until they can find the best method for improving productivity that works best for them.

People who manage to get more accomplished every day, aren't superhuman, but instead, they've been able to master a few simple habits that have provided them with a boost in productivity. The good news is that anybody can improve their productivity with the right techniques and strategies. You can actually leave work feeling more satisfied and fulfilled with what you've accomplished. All it takes is a few productivity hacks to help get you there.

While you probably know a few tips for improving your productivity, like keeping your desk organized and getting eight hours of sleep a night, there are so many other things that you can be doing to guarantee a boost in your daily productivity. Here are five productivity hacks that can help you get more done in less time.

1) Implement the Pomodoro Technique

The Pomodoro Technique helps to train your brain to focus for short periods and helps you remain on top of deadlines and can even improve your attention span and concentration. The methodology of this technique is simple when you are faced with an enormous task or series of functions, you break down the work into short, timed intervals, called Pomodoros, that are spaced out with short breaks. It is a cyclical system where you work in short spurts, which ensures you remain productive while taking short breaks that help to bolster your motivation and helps to keep you creative.

The Pomodoro Technique is probably one of the most straightforward techniques to implement because all you need is a timer. Beyond that, you don't need to use any unique apps, tools, or books. Here's how to get started using the Pomodoro Technique to boost your productivity.

1. Choose a task that you want to complete.
2. Set your timer for 25 minutes.
3. Work on the task until the timer expires, then put a check on a sheet of paper.
4. Take a short break, usually around 5 minutes.
5. After your break, set the timer for 25 minutes and start the process again.
6. After your fourth cycle, take a more extended break, usually around 25 minutes.
7. Start the process again.

Completing the process several times throughout your workday will help you accomplish more. It is essential to understand that a Pomodoro is a unit of work that can't be divided. That means that if you become distracted during your 25-minute session of work, you either have to end the Pomodoro early and restart it later, or you need to postpone the distraction until later.

2) Utilize Parkinson’s Law

The famous British historian and author stated, in 1995, that work expands to fill the time available for its completion. In the realm of productivity, this has become known as Parkinson’s Law. Parkinson had worked in the British Civil Service and saw first-hand how bureaucracy works. Bureaucracy is itself a by-product of our culture, thanks to the limiting belief that spending more time working is somehow better than working smarter and faster.

When it comes to Parkinson's Law, it means that if you give yourself a week to finish a two-hour task, then the task will increase in complexity and will become even more daunting in order to fill the week. The job may not even take a week to accomplish, but the extra time will be filled with more stress and tension about having to complete it. When you can assign the right amount of time to your tasks, you can gain back more time, and the task will ultimately reduce in complexity.

One way to utilize Parkinson’s Law to improve your productivity is known as running against the clock. To implement this idea into your workday, you need to make a list of the tasks that you need to complete. Divide the tasks up by the amount of time that it will take you to achieve them. Then give yourself half that time to complete each task. For this to work, you have to see accomplishing the task in the given time as crucial. You need to treat each of these time limits as any of your other deadlines. Part of reversing the thought that you have to work harder, not smarter, is to see the deadlines that you set for yourself as unbreakable, just like the deadlines that are set by your boss or clients.

When you first implement this technique, it will be partially an exercise in figuring out how accurate your projects are or the tasks on your list. Some of your time projections will be accurate, and you won't be able to beat the clock when you cut the time allotment in half, so you'll need to experiment with different times until you find something that works.

3) The Five-Minute Rule for Beating Procrastination

One of the biggest obstacles to our productivity is our innate ability to procrastinate. Most people tend to procrastinate at the beginning of a project out of fear or uncertainty, and sometimes it’s a combination of both. To overcome the unclear or daunting start of our work projects is to give yourself a five-minute rule for getting started. So how does the five-minute rule work?
