A lot of people confuse being busy and spending excessive time on a particular task at the workplace for productivity. Truth be told: they're getting it all wrong!

<hr>

<b>Productivity is about energy and focus, not time.</b>

<hr>

Hard workers make room in their schedules for relaxation. Spending more time on work doesn't guarantee more or better results. Maintaining maximum energy levels and working in short spurts is what aids productivity.

The brain’s capacity to process data efficiently falters during the day, dropping from full energy to fatigue about every 90 minutes. So frequent breaks for water, nutritious snacks and light exercise will rejuvenate the mind and encourage greater productivity. Take enough down time to build the energy you need to perform. Olympic athletes depend on sleep to revitalize their bodies. Shannon Miller, seven-time Olympic medalist in gymnastics, enjoys brief power naps.

Again, consistently healthful food, fun, rest and recreation renew your physical stamina and mental focus. This fosters greater productivity and enhances your life at play and at work.

<b>Build the energy and focus to make each minute count; common sense doesn't require anything short of that.</b>

Have an amazing day!
