improving productivity

productivity refers to the efficiency of turning inputs into outputs. it's a measure of performance that compares what's produced with the resources used to create it. the three types of productivity include economic productivity, labor productivity, and workplace productivity.

workplace (or personal) productivity refers to how much work is done within a specific time period. factors that influence workplace productivity include motivation, personality, talent, training, environment, support, and time management.

improving personal productivity involves adopting effective strategies and habits. systems. here are some tips:

prioritize tasks: identify high-priority tasks and focus on them first. use techniques like the eisenhower matrix to categorize tasks by urgency and importance. prioritizing is essential for several reasons. it helps you avoid getting bogged down in busywork and unimportant tasks. it reduces overwhelm and provides focus and structure. by focusing on what truly matters, you make progress toward your objectives and optimize your use of time and resources. prioritizing tasks streamline your workflow and increase efficiency. multitasking is less effective than focusing your attention on one task.

set clear goals: define specific, measurable goals. break them down into smaller steps to make the progress manageable. goals provide a compass for your actions. they guide you toward what truly matters, helping you prioritize tasks and decisions. clarity reduces distractions, allowing you to stay focused on opportunities aligned with your objectives. goals also serve as benchmarks, allowing you to measure progress and celebrate achievements.

time blocking: allocate specific blocks of time for different tasks. my favourite tools for this are the notion calendar (it gives a great visual representation of tasks). by dedicating specific blocks of time to tasks, you minimize distractions and stay on track. when you commit to time blocks, you're more likely to complete tasks within those periods. knowing when you'll work on specific tasks reduces anxiety. it creates predictability and reduces decision fatigue.

take breaks: regular breaks improve focus and prevent burnout. step away from your desk, and stretch, or take a short walk. relaxing activities improve well-being and calm the central nervous system. the ideal break duration depends on individual preferences and the nature of the work. some strategies include utilizing the pomodoro technique, or the 20-20-20 rule. for screen-related work, every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. this reduces eye strain and refreshes focus. short breaks (5-10 minutes) are great for quick rejuvenation. longer breaks (15-30 minutes) allow deeper relaxation and can include a walk or light exercise.

stay healthy: prioritize sleep, exercise, and nutrition. a healthy body supports a productive mind. when you prioritize well-being, you create a solid foundation for effective work. chronic stress negatively impacts productivity. practice stress-reducing techniques like mindfulness, deep breathing, or meditation. a positive mindset enhances focus and creativity. prioritize self-care and emotional balance. invest in healthy habits such as good hydration, and balanced nutrition.

remember - productivity is about working smarter, not just harder. experiment with these strategies and find what works best for you!

good days by sza

More than 70,000 people imprisoned, more than 30,000 sexually and physically abused, and more than 3,000 killed during the Marcos regime. More than 30,000 killed extrajudicially on Duterte's so-called "war on drugs" for the past six years and more than 60,000 COVID-19 deaths due to his administration's incompetency and lack of a decent healthcare plan.

Only for the people to elect their son and daughter into the top two positions in the Philippines.

All these lives diminished into numbers. All these deaths for nothing.

that time of the year when i rant about having problems regarding a nonexistent boyfriend that my family believes i do. liek are we actually believing this or,,, are you all just tryna ask me to get a boyfriend so we can have problems about boyfriend?

Idk this really is relatable... Happy birthday to myself! I hope I like it!

this is the saddest thing ive seen all year

Who are you choosing to be today? Not who are you..Not what is hurting you..Not what shit are you carrying with you this week..The most important question to ask yourself is who are you choosing to be?  Whatever shit you are carrying over from last week, take a deep breath, and just know that shift start with making a simple choice of focusing on who you want to be. If that anxious knot in your stomach is getting worse with each moment, remember who are you choosing to be? Someone who is patient and loving with yourself? Someone who focuses on your healing and makes time to figure out your needs? Someone who is kind and caring with yourself first and foremost? Without thinking it’s easy to slip into victim, judgment, anger, and while all these emotions at times may be valid there is only so much living in the lower vibrations we can do before it really starts taking a toll. So allow yourself some grace, and start with the simple question of who am I choosing to be? 

No one’s saying this so I guess I’ve gotta: no more shirtless scenes for men if the actors gotta starve himself. Its just as bad as woman being forced to lose weight for a needless sex scene/photoshoot what have you. If it endangers the health of the individual it should not be encouraged.
