Most entrepreneurs are very busy and overloaded with work, never-ending tasks and have swamped schedules. For achieving great results, working hard is not enough: entrepreneurs should know how to organize their time better and how to work hard and smart at the same time. Your productivity is important for the future of your startup and here you can find five essential tips to follow that will help you be more productive every single day.
Prioritize
Organize your to-do list well and keep track on the scheduled work that needs to be done first. Start with the most important tasks you have and move down the list during the day. Determine the order of your tasks according to their relative importance and avoid taking extra work (if it is not very important!) before you are done with your schedule.
Learn to delegate
Entrepreneurs tend to think of their startup as a “one-man-show” even after the company starts growing and the team expanding. Entrepreneurs need to embrace the opportunity to share the work with their team members, to avoid micromanaging them and to concentrate on the really important things.
Energy over time
Time has one problem – it is finite – so entrepreneurs must learn how to make the most of it. There is a need of creating a new way of working. Creativity is important for entrepreneurs and the world needs more innovative solutions. If we manage to increase out energy we will manage to achieve more and create better solutions.

Avoid procrastination
Eliminate distractions, stay focused and avoid multitasking. Stop looking for perfection and the ideal moment to begin your work. Once the work is in process it is more likely you to have better, clearer vision on what have to be done and improve your approach and point of view on the matter. Entrepreneurs must focus on effectiveness and good time-management in order to avoid procrastination, because constant procrastination can really damage your work performance.
Take regular breaks
Entrepreneurs must know that it is important to take regular breaks. Maximize your productivity by taking a short break and move away from the work for a while. Take a walk around the office, look through the window or just close your eyes for a moment. Breaks are important and can really help you boost your productivity.
