Written by Miller's Supplies At Work | Jan 15, 2015 12:00:00 AM

What are your New Year’s resolutions for 2015?

Do you want to be more productive?

Office supply company, Miller’s Office Products, has compiled a list of ways to help you do that:

Say no- Don’t overfill your workload for the sake of getting more done. If you have too much to do, you will likely feel overwhelmed which will dampen your productivity. Limit Your Time per Project- By timing your projects, you give yourself parameters for finishing the project. You will work harder if you put on limit on time spent on that assignment. Be Strategic- When you are working on one project, work only on that project. This will help you be more focused and driven. Some tasks are similar and work together such as emails and phone calls. Set aside time throughout the day to check messages and emails instead of letting them interrupt your day. Spruce up Your Workspace- Clean up your workspace to remove distractions. Also, add some plants! Studies show that people are more productive if there are plants or flowers included in the décor. Keep Active- Get up and walk every hour. Just a brisk, five-minute walk can help improve blood flow which will raise productivity. Smile- Humor has been shown to improve morale and productivity in the workplace. Laughter will boost your mood, energy, and productivity.

Make this year a productive one! Try implementing these tips and see the difference.
