How do you make each day your masterpiece? It’s a central question here at Clementine Com. Working in a fast-paced luxury lifestyle PR agency in the heart of London certainly has its perks, but it’s not without hard work, tenacity and perhaps most importantly, organisation.
In our world of PR and social media, we look after a variety of clients, each with different needs, goals and targets. As such, our approach is different for each one of them.
The idea of making each day your masterpiece comes from ensuring that each day at the agency is used to its full potential.
Listed below are some productivity tips to help you squeeze the most from the day.
Tips:
- You’re more productive when you take regular, scheduled breaks
One technique you could use is the pomodoro technique, which is where you set a scheduled block of 25 minutes hard work, then a five minute break to stretch, make a coffee or check your phone. Then repeat.
- ‘Eat your broccoli first’
Get the hardest thing, the one you don’t want to do out of the way first. That means once it’s done, you can focus on the more enjoyable aspects of work.
- Focus on the ‘why’ you’re doing something
Reverting back to the central question of ‘why’ is an incredibly powerful technique to deploy when trying to be the most productive. Priority notes help you remember why you are ordering certain tasks, which could be an internal deadline because your manager needs to check a piece of work. It can help you view the bigger picture, as you’re part of a team and a cog in the machine, being more conscientious leads to a more productive team.
