Productivity Tips/Tools
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 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
project what I do as a writer beyond my
borders. With the help of Facebook I have
connected with and communicated what I do
with wonderful people across the globe.

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
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,
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
from a remote location if your work permits
you.
Albert A. Ninyeh, Tech Junkie

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
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.
