Top 5 Productivity Tips for Work!

🤫 I’m not saying we should all quiet quit, all I’m saying is if there are shortcuts to get our work done faster, then why not?

For me, productivity in the workplace means efficiency + accuracy (i.e. there’s no point being more productive if your deliverables…kind of suck)

So one of the first things I learned at work was to Steal with Pride. My colleagues have created amazing stuff in the past so there’s really no need to reinvent the wheel! This is by far the most underrated productivity tip for work!

Whether you use the Microsoft suite of tools (Word, Powerpoint, Excel) or Google Workspace (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides), there are a LOT of practical things you can do to be more productive (e.g. use data validation to ensure no mistakes are made)

I've been watching Jeff's videos just because of the way he talks. I'm joking... his content is superb too. But I really like the way he conducts the video lol

[cassioalexan]

Serious, Jeff: I love when you make videos in which you show us examples of how to be more productive using tools like Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Notion etc. Even though my company hasn't adopted Google Workspace, I try to adapt your examples using Microsoft Word, Excel etc (although not with the same success, as the tools have some differences among them...)

[sophiasuetabanao]

Yes to the video of how you handle projects at work using work apps! Always love your videos Jeff! :)

[IndianerAlex]

Great video. Google Drive actually also have the "from a template" option for both sheets, docs, slides etc. It's great for recurring documents and saves time from copying and moving files around.

This video is priceless. I really appreciate the tips you shared. Here is five takeaways which caught my attention :
1. steal productivity with pride
2. Template repetitive tasks using google docs, spreadsheets
3. Automation with formulas (sum for example) and features (data validation)
4. Organize information by where it will be use
5. Being more productive by making pre-read before meeting

Keep on delivery the your good content. Thank you.

I work as a shelf stocker and listening to music and tuning out everything helps me.

Or on slow days I'll listen to a podcast and find incorrect numbers.

I am literally the only one that can do a certain job correctly and can do one aisle In the time it takes for 2 to work on it.

I don't text, though I may scroll through YouTube to grab a long video (usually on breaks). I'd also recommend focusing on one task at a time as you have a set amount of focus and it's impossible to multi-task.

Being able to 100% one task then complete step 2 through 7 drastically speed things up, especially if you have to login each time you need to use your device and scan something. Or if moving a top stock cart takes more time than it should going in one direction helps.

It’s so great to see and hear your insights and knowledge.

SUCH A HUGE FAN. LOVE YOU
THANKS FOR THE ALL THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO MAKING THESE VIDEO'S

[AlyMikos]

Yes, please share your video on how you handle projects at work using work apps (including for us Microsoft users if available).

I’m new to productivity and PKM, and just starting out as a enterprise software project manager for a government entity. Your video topics *ARE EXACTLY* what I’ve been searching for to crystallize in my head the concepts and structures to guide me when trying to have a personal second brain in Reflect notes app, while ALSO having a file management system at work that doesn’t offer bi-directional links/backlinks. Having a clear organizational structure to apply to both databases/functionalities is very useful and appreciated. Thank you for your succinct summarization of what I couldn’t get my head wrapped around until now!

I have a rule. If I see One Piece in it, you have my like. Well done, sir.
