How to increase Personal Productivity?
Let's look at the following examples:
P1. Stay focused:
While you doing your job or personal work make sure to be focused and concentrated. Sometimes our productivity went lost due to not concentrating on what we are doing. Therefore it is must to grasp the thing which is going at present. Meditation, listening to peaceful music, Pranayama (breathing exercise), healthy foods, etc are good sources to stay focused.
P2. Organize Your Ideas & Things:
Most of the time, our productivity gets loss due to spilled resources everywhere. We don't organize and make them as it is. Similarly, we never make our ideas & thought in an organized manner. This is the reason for not succeed and losing productivity. Making all the things in the right place including maintaining cleanness & putting all the great ideas on the paper or notebook instead to recall multiple times. This will help you to make space for current tasks & you'll get more on productivity.
P3. Set Your Priorities:
There might be an abundance of works, should you start at once? Never, start analyzing which one of them is on your first priority. Set properly and find for next. This would be easy to schedule and divide your task into sub-task. Pick this priority, done this, deliver it, ask for feedback, repair it and then jump on to the next priority. Follow this cycle for each task. Finally, you'll see you did your task on time. Just setting priority you achieved your success & saved more time!!
P4. Schedule your task & routine:

P6. Take a Break:
Don't forget to schedule it. Whatever you do (study or job), take a break at least for 5 minutes after 1hour. This will give energy for the remaining times & you'll do better afterward. In this break also, you can do some breathing exercises (slightly if at the office). You can include exercise, listening to music, taking healthy food, feel nature, meditate, talk with friends & family, etc. This moment will increase a little bit of energy for remaining work.
P7. Stay Healthy:
