Stress-free productivity does exist

Do you always find yourself overburdened by numerous pending tasks? Are you finding it hard to meet deadlines and feel like there are multiple things to be done at all times? If yes, then don’t panic, you are not alone! Most people find it a challenge to manage several things simultaneously and struggle to find the right balance. The struggle is not restricted to office or school work only, people find it difficult to GTD in their general lives as well.

It’s no secret that the number of people working from home has risen significantly in recent years. But despite this, remote working isn’t quite as common as we’re often led to believe. The latest US Bureau of Labor figures published in 2019 for the 2017-2018 period show that just 24.8% of the US workforce was noted as working from home during this time. This shows that, while there are certainly advantages to introducing remote working policies, many managers still prefer to have their employees work on-site.

Checklists are very interesting tools when it comes to maintaining and improving the efficiency of your personal organization system. David Allen talks about their benefits in his book Getting Things Done, but because they are not linked to a specific stage in the GTD workflow, we tend to overlook or even forget them.

If you’re now working remotely, or have been for a while, you’re one of many. Working from home is becoming an increasingly viable option as technology advances to provide the ability to do so. But sometimes, getting down a morning ritual to wake yourself up can be tricky. Luckily, there are steps you can take to help you get into positive habits that will shape your day.

The current situation with the pandemic forced the entire world to switch to remote work.
