How to be more productive

Sometimes it is really hard to catch up with this fast moving world, yet high productivity is in huge demand all the time. Doing twice as much as needed without harming your mental and physical health still sounds like a dream that is never to come true. Well, guess what? I've got some tips for you on how to enhance productivity and improve the quality of your work.

1. Planning.

Before getting to actual work your first step should be planning. Create an upside down pyramid in your head and fill it in with tasks from the hardest to the easiest ones. That's how you should act if you have plenty of work to do and you have no idea where to start. No one has desire to deal with arduous work. But as long as you are done with it, feeling of self accomplishment and pride will penetrate every cell of your body.

2. Multitasking is not an option.

You can't read a book, eat lunch, write a report and watch TV at the same time. Our brain function productively if you set yourself a specific task. This way your brain will keep its concentration only on that one thing which leads to high productivity.

3. Mix up things a little bit.

If you do the same boring work for hours, there is no way the outcome will be satisfactory. The golden rule of productivity is to combine tasks of various kinds. Case in point, read a book, then clean up your room. Tasks should be completely opposite to themselves, so that your brain could use different parts and work effectively.

4. Relax.

This rule is often neglected while it should be in your priorities. Having rest gives our body time to regain power and energy and clear our mind. Even if you are the biggest workaholic, relax is a mandatory for you. Working for long hours exhausts our body, so that it cannot manage tasks properly.

5. Eat well and sleep enough.

It can sound a bit random but this advice is crucial as well. Having proper diet and sleep regime can increase power capacity and productivity of our body.

6. And the last but not least, enjoy what you do.

Find pleasure in what you are doing. You can't succeed if you always enforce yourself to do things you hate. Pick only tasks you wish to do and relish dealing with them.

I am full of hopes that those tips will come in handy at least one of you. Stay positive and productive.

How to Get Inspired: 5 ways to regain inspiration

We all have those moments when it feels like inspiration reached its limits. Whether it is you who ran out of ideas or your muse that's not in a good mood, I'll endeavour to tackle your creative crisis. I will share some of my beloved resources that just burst with refreshing ideas and unconventional images. Hopefully, they will give a new outlook on things and help you cheer up your muse.

1. Instagram is a mandatory for me when it comes to search of inspiration. It literally covers every realm of life that can possibly exist, therefore offbeat ideas will be granted. Here are my favourite places to immerse in to regain inspiration.

2. However obvious it may sound, magazines can come in handy if you are trapped in creative crisis. Personally, I am obsessed with British vogue. It's definitely a staple resource to arouse inspiration and set creative mind at a different angle.

3. If you have a specific subject you would like to get a new outlook on, then Pintrest is the site you need. It is another shelter for sumptuous things and unbelievable ideas. You just type in what you are interested in and thousands of articles, images, videos will pop up.

4. Cinematography is full of true master pieces that turn your world upside down and you get a whole new perception of life. It seems so weird to realise that 2 hours spent watching a film might have such a huge impact on your life.

If I were to pick one film that inspires me the most, I would choose "The theory of everything". This masterpiece embraces a story of Stephen Hawking who's an incredible scientist. Even though a horrible disease stood on his way, Hawking never gave up and continued working.
There should be no boundaries to human endeavour. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope.

5. The last but not least, books. It is known all around the world how life changing they can be, so there is no point in reiterating that. Instead, I will share 2 books that have given me a boost of inspiration recently. Me before you and After you by Jojo Moyes are two parts of an incredibly inspiring story of Louisa Clark. Those books have been best-sellers for quite a while now and have certainly won the hearts of millions of readers. It is definitely worth reading and will make rethink your life.
