10 Easy ways to increase your productivity

YouTheDesigner has a great article on 10 Easy ways to increase productivity that's definitely worth checking out if you find that there just aren't enough hours in the work day.

They include:

  • Organize your files
  • Organize your email
  • Organize your paperwork
  • Clean your computer
  • Clean your workspace
  • Keep a to-do list
  • Keep a note pad at all times
  • Get on a good sleep schedule
  • Master keyboard shortcuts
  • Install browser add-ons

While I'm not sure how some of the items will increase productivity for myself, I do think that the writer makes a good argument for all of them.




Productivity

While I agree with this list, the biggest increase for any and all computer users is our typing skills. The amount of time each of us types is ignored, especially by designers. However, by increasing wpm and reducing spelling errors due to keyboard mistakes, you will spend less time inputing text and data.





Very true.

And I think that should fall under the "keyboard shortcuts" rule. Maybe they should rename it "know your keyboard."





Another tip.

And…organize passwords!
