Want to Be Productive? Monitor Your 'Cognitive Fuel'

To get your best work done without burning out, you need to view your energy as a finite reserve, and remember, you can do everything, but not at once. That means if you have a goal or task you want to complete, say, tomorrow, you need to wake up and get it done first. Because that’s when you have a full tank of cognitive fuel. And every single time you make a decision, or complete a little task, you start to drain your cognitive fuel.

Checking your email first thing? There goes five percent of your energy. Deciding where to go for dinner tonight? Five percent. Chatting to your friend on WhatsApp? Five percent. Deciding what to wear that particular day? FIVE PERCENT. Browsing Pinterest for inspiration to get started? Five percent. You get the idea. Leave the energy-burning decisions to when you feel your most depleted (aka the end of the day). And spend your cognitive fuel on something important and amazing. You start each day with 100%, so use yours wisely.

EFFECTIVE TEAM WORK

WHAT IS TEAMWORK? TEAMWORK is the process of working collaboratively with a group of people in order to achieve a goal. Teamwork is often a crucial part of a business, as it is often necessary for colleagues to work well together, trying their best in any circumstance. Teamwork means that people will try to cooperate, using their individual skills and providing constructive feedback, despite any personal conflict between individuals. A single person sometimes is not capable of making critical decisions alone and taking on big projects without the help of a team. There are many situations when a single person can see only one side of the task or problem. A team is required to see all the aspects of that task, whether good or bad and can make decisions based on everyone’s opinion. An individual needs the support and guidance of others to come out with an effective solution. When individuals come together on a common platform with a common objective of accomplishing a tas

Positive Thinking Isn’t Enough

So why is being able to look at things positively important? The main reason is because what you focus on will affect your actions. If you think about how the world is always against you because every time you set a goal you fail to achieve it, will that make you want to continue going for your goals with enthusiasm and passion? Probably not. When you think positively even though things aren’t going your way, your mind will work towards finding a solution to make things work. Your actions will be different because your focus will be different. The problem that many people have is that thinking positively is easier said than done. When you are in the middle of a challenge, it’s not always easy to look on the bright side of things. So how do you have positive thoughts when there seems to be no evidence that you will achieve your goals or get past your challenge? Faith.
