Past and Future Productivity StrategiesEssay Preview: Past and Future Productivity StrategiesReport this essayPast and Future Productivity StrategiesMaking the decision to go back to school after 15 years with a family of five at home it was very apparent that I was going to need a quiet place to study and for schoolwork. It was imperative that with what little time I had to complete the project that I made every minute work. “20% of the average workday is spent on “crucial” and “important” things, while 80% of the average workday is spent on things that have “little value” or “no value. (Dr. Donald E. Wetmore, 1999) Accomplishing a project of building a home office, combining strategies from previous projects has identified areas of focus to improve continuously and employ different strategies to ensure a success at school.

There’s a great book that’s been re-printing after a few years on productivity and how it works:
Toward the end of your 20s your job may have been your most important focus, but it was very difficult, sometimes impossible and impossible to continue to develop this skill for so long after you graduated. After graduating, though, it’s clear that your focus and work skills were not your real focus.
Even in most of my 20s and later years I was very busy developing my work skills. I’d come to school and I’d be on top of my learning curve, but by the year 18, I had never felt like I was improving (or not making progress) in my home and had left my home just because of my lack of experience. In fact, in any given year I would spend a lot of time in the lab with my friends and in the evenings with my friends, trying to improve my work skills and be better and better at it.
For as long as I could remember I worked hard to be better and not always as good as I was. As a result I often had to work day and nights, and in those moments some nights I found myself trying to play games with my computer to increase my productivity. I thought I wasn’t learning, but it turned out I could improve. And then at 21 I went back to the laboratory to start studying, and just as I got bored of myself and started playing games with my computer I realised that I’ve grown up since I was young to be learning new things. I now use a lot of different programs to get up to speed with stuff in my life for the better, but I now play games with computers in my room. (John Green, 2001)
As important as time in the lab is — it helps to see that I don’t just want to make progress, but have a plan and then focus on that plan.
Here’s the important part to remember to do right:
You need to build a plan, and a plan keeps your life going.
It’s tempting to find the things that are really important when you get to it, but never forget that we’re actually doing it and going where we need to go and doing it right.
With your work habits ingrained in your mind you can easily become more accomplished in the long run. For those of you who are struggling with the things that you want to accomplish and don’t want to do much, there are a few things that may not be totally necessary before getting to the things you want to do.
First of all you have to do what you love to do and love to do the best you can. You don’t want to do something you think is boring or boring, while you have to work hard to get to which goal you want to accomplish. As a rule of thumb you have to be physically fit, mentally strong and able to pull yourself through any obstacles, at home or abroad.
Secondly, work on certain areas of your focus. In your field you have

The Home OfficeLike a ticking time bomb with a dead line to meet, it was imperative that each task that I executed was completed flawlessly and expeditiously. I began the process of building my office six weeks before the start of my first online college class. Upon graduation from high school I worked as a carpenter building homes for a little less than a year, so I knew that finishing one room was not going to be a problem. The unfinished basement required framing in the room, run required electrical wiring for outlets and the ceiling fan, insulation for heating and cooling, in addition to sound proofing. As well as hanging sheetrock and doors, painting, and installing the floor to complete the project. The first two weeks the most visible progress is made by framing in the room, completing the electric, and installing the insulation and hanging drywall. Over the next week I spackled the drywall on the ceiling and walls ensuring that the walls and ceiling were smooth and ready for paint. This was the most time intensive task because the dry time of the spackle and sanding. The following week I primed the walls preparing them for paint and installed the floor and doors. Over the last two weeks of my six week endeavor I finished up odds and ends. Hanging the window trim, installing the wall outlet and switch covers and moving the furniture in.
