A great productivity tool

New task comes up?
Write it on your dump pad.

Had a new idea?
Write it on your dump pad.

Urgent task comes up?
Write it on your dump pad

Then just carry on with the task you are doing. You don't need to be distracted by the new task as its written down, where you won't forget it.

When you have your next break, or finish a task look at your dump pad and if you have an urgent task, put it on your to-do list.

At the end of the day see if any tasks need to go onto your next day's list, or be scheduled for another day.

Nothing ever gets forgotten and you know you don't need to be distracted by all the new tasks.

Email Overload has a huge impact on your productivity.

Set yourself some simple rules about dealing with your emails and improve your productivity.

ADHD? Make a tally of how many times a day you look at emails. WOW - thats a distraction.

Breaks - the more you take the more productive you are.

Working through just makes you sluggish and stale.

Taking a break helps your brain refresh and increases your productivity

A reminder that we need to look after ourselves and our environment when working from home.

Great for productivity as you don't need to take your hands off the keyboard.

Great for minimising pain from mouse use.

Great for visually impaired users.

Spoon Theory - originally used to describe chronic illness but often appropriate for other conditions, mental health, the effort required to complete tasks with ADHD or Dyslexia and more.

Yesterday I used too many spoons. Arthritic knee and general physical and mental wellbeing were stretched too thin. Most of what I did too much was standing, standing can be particularly bad for my knee. I stood as a volunteer at Parkrun, I stood a lot at our dog training class and then I stood for hours at a party and socialised which is also exhausting.

Today I will take it easy and use as few spoons as possible, then hopefully I will be good to go again tomorrow. Self-care is important and the occasional lazy Sunday does us all good.
