How to prioritise and keep focused at work

With everything going on, it can be hard to keep focused.

By organising your brain to focus on just the key priorities, it will help you be more productive and be able to meet your goals at work faster and more effectively, without distraction.

We all know making lists is useful to keep track of ever-growing responsibilities, but there’s nothing more de-motivating than a list as long as your forearm - it’s daunting and can seem unachievable.

What you need to do is go one step further and do 5 @ 5.

5 @ 5 is a super simple, yet effective tool you can use to help prioritise tasks and keep focused on a day by day basis.

How it works is, five minutes before you finish up for the day, whether you’re working from home or in the office, take 5 minutes to write down on a post it note, your top 5 prioritised tasks that you will work on the next day.

By breaking down your list into manageable chunks, your brain can focus on what’s important without distraction and you can come in the next day prepared and ready to hit the ground running on your top 5 priorities.

How to increase staff engagement and productivity

Due to COVID, we're experiencing a new way of working... And a whole new way of life.

It's likely that many of these changes to how we work and how we operate will remain long after restrictions are lifted.

So, as leaders, we need to get smarter with how we keep employees engaged, how we maintain high productivity and how we retain best talent.

And the best way of doing this is by investing in our people - not only in their personal development, but their health and wellbeing too.

Numerous studies have shown that enhancing wellbeing in the workforce, boosts employee engagement, reduces absenteeism, improves productivity and increases retention.

All of these benefits bring out the best talent potential within the workforce and lead to greater financial outcomes for the business overall.

It makes sense really - happier employees reach their potential faster and become more invested in the success of the company.
