JAKARTA - The beginning of the year is the right moment to reorganize life for the better, including with new productivity. Productivity is not only about working harder, but also working smarter.

To be more productive in the new year, you can do several steps. Check out the following steps, reported by Atlassian, Friday, January 3, 2025.

1. Set the energy well

The first step that must be taken to be more productive is to regulate energy. This is because productivity is not only about time, but body energy also plays an important role.

Get to know when your energy is the highest, and use these times to perform important tasks. Set your energy well to focus, and don't waste your energy on unnecessary things.

2. Create a list of things that are clearly done

Then create a list of things that are done or to-do-list clearly. This list is very important to organize tasks in an organized manner, so you know what to do every day and which are priorities.

Create a list of tasks every morning or night before. However, don't be too ambitious, just three to five main tasks per day.

3. Focus on one thing at a time

Multitasking does sound cool, but actually inhibits productivity. So to be more productive, focus on one task at a time.

If multitasking, attention will be divided, so that the results of the work are not optimal. Therefore, starting now, you will complete one task before you move to the next task.

4. Avoid perfectionism

Please note that perfectionism is a barrier to productivity. Feelings of wanting to do everything perfectly will make you spend a lot of time in vain.

Instill in yourself that it doesn't have to be all perfect. Focus on completing the task well, not perfect, so that your productivity is also well maintained.
