Activity Logs can help you find how you spend your day and is the first step in understanding why you spend it that way!
Key Points: Once you've analyzed your Activity Log, you should be able to boost your productivity by applying one of the following actions to various activities:
- Eliminate or delegate jobs that aren't part of your role, or that don't help you meet your objectives.
- Schedule your most challenging tasks for the times of day when your energy levels are highest. That way, your work will be of better quality, and it should take you less time to do.
- Minimize the number of times you switch between types of task. Multitasking is not efficient.
