How to be Productive?

Productivity is such an interesting topic in today’s day and age, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an average American works 8.8 hours a day. But a study of 1,989 full-time office workers revealed that most people aren’t working for most of the time they are on the clock.

The most popular unproductive activities sited were:

  1. Reading news websites–1 hour, 5 minutes
  2. Checking social media–44 minutes
  3. Discussing non-work-related things with co-workers–40 minutes
  4. Searching for new jobs–26 minutes
  5. Taking smoke breaks–23 minutes
  6. Making calls to partners or friends–18 minutes
  7. Making hot drinks–17 minutes
  8. Texting or instant messaging–14 minutes
  9. Eating snacks–8 minutes
  10. Making food in office–7 minutes

Other research shows that most people are not productive for more than 2.8 hours a day… looking at your own life where do you fit in? In this episode, we try to break down exactly how to be productive and talk extensively about some of the heroes in this space.

Final Thoughts

I really enjoyed recording this episode with Mihkel Sepp because the question of how to be productive has come up so many times in my own life… it really is easy to become distracted with that “Shiny object syndrome” that entrepreneurs are so well known for and fall down the rabbit hole of the internet.

This episode of The Expat Money Show is so packed with actionable steps you can take in your life to increase your own productivity.
