A lot can be achieved in one day

Within a 24 hour time frame, I got in touch with some

friends of mine to discuss the subject of productivity.

Each of them is actively involved in either a project, cause

or organization, that is making a difference and helping

create a better world. They willingly volunteered to share

with me some of the best productivity tips they've learnt

and apply in everyday life. I asked them to spare two

minutes to answer these two questions:

1. What is your best productivity tip/phrase/advice?

2. What has been your best tool or app to work

productively in your job?

I’m Bernard Kelvin Clive

I simply stay consistent and persistent. I

believe to be productive one needs to stay

active doing the right things. And doing them

consistently and persistently till you make

progress towards perfection. In short, to get

results or to be productive, be active. Be

consistent and be persistent.

Facebook has been a phenomenal tool for

me. Using this tool has enabled me reach and

create a niche for myself. It has helped me

borders. With the help of Facebook I have

connected with and communicated what I do

What is your best productivity

tip/phrase/advice?

The best productivity tip I could ever give

someone is always have a positive attitude to

everything. No matter which situation you

find yourself, always have a positive attitude.

If you are working for someone, think of it as

you own that company and act the way you

would as if it was yours, by doing so, you put

Page 22: 30 Productivity Tips

all your energy into what you do. This does

not only help build the company, but also

enhances your skills and prepares you for

your own ventures in life. I have always

treated every job i had had as my own and I

always try as much as I can to be happy.

Listen with an antelope ears, and be slow in

speaking. Think of 5x faster before you say

anything and also be true to yourself.

What has been your best tool or app to work

productively in your job?

It’s funny, though I am a Tech junkie, I don't

actually have any special tool, but if I do, its

feedly, Gmail for Android to check my emails,

Page 23: 30 Productivity Tips

Twitter to check what’s trending in my area

of interest, LinkedIn to check my connection

and make new connections, Instagram to

ease of the stress, Evernote to take notes, XE

currency converter to keep track of the cedi

and the dollar, WhatsApp to share important

links and news among my peers.

But most of all, the best productivity tip I can

give you is a peace state of mind. I mostly

feel productive when I visit a particular

coffee shop around OSU. The place is

peaceful for my mind which makes me

productive. Find a peaceful state of mind and

you will be productive. Try changing where

you work, move to a different desk or work

Page 24: 30 Productivity Tips

from a remote location if your work permits

you.

My best productivity tip is to do one thing at

a time. Contrary to popular notion, I don't

believe in multi-tasking. It gets you to start

too many things, but may not complete

them. Thus, do one thing at a time to

completion, before jumping on to the next.

My best productivity app is WhatsApp. While

it may not be a "productivity" app in the real

sense of the word, it has helped me to check

up on my team members who are scattered

all around the country. It helps me know

Page 29: 30 Productivity Tips

what's going on with them, etc. We have a

page there where we have our meetings and

all that.

To be productive at work. Time is really not

your friend, so you have to make the best out

of what you have. Concentrate on the major

task with a sense of responsibility (i.e. task

you have to do and finish them as

scheduled). Leave the minor (i.e. things that

are not included in your task; these minor

things can really get you off track.
