They may seem helpful, but these myths, such as the following 9, can actually do more harm than good.<\/p>\n<h2><b>1. You must be a morning person to have productivity.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>If you read any article sharing productivity tips, I can almost guarantee that \u201cwaking-up early\u201d is one of them.\u00a0While there is some evidence to back this claim-up,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2010\/07\/defend-your-research-the-early-bird-really-does-get-the-worm\" rel=\"nofollow\">such as from Christoph Randler<\/a>\u00a0(a biology professor at the University of Education in Heidelberg, Germany), waking-up early doesn\u2019t automatically make you any more productive.<\/p>\n<p>Russell Foster, a circadian neuroscientist who studies the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/sleep\" rel=\"follow\">sleep<\/a>\u00a0cycles of the brain, found there is no\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/russell_foster_why_do_we_sleep?language=en\" rel=\"nofollow\">gap in socioeconomic<\/a>\u00a0rank between a person who gets up early and someone who wakes up late.\u00a0Whether you wake-up at 4am, 9am, or 8pm, logic tells us that we all have the same amount of hours in the day to get everything done.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I\u2019m more of a morning person. But I also know plenty of other people who are night owls who get just as much accomplished. That\u2019s because we all have different times when we\u2019re most productive.<\/p>\n<p>Often, the most productive people have a routine and are deliberate with their time. For example, some people prep for the next day by having their clothes laid out and their agenda set. This way they\u2019re not wasting as much time when the alarm goes off.<\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Clean equals organized.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s a misconception that being organized means Mr. Clean just came-in and sterilized the place. However, just because your home or workspace is clean doesn\u2019t mean you have all your ducks lined up properly. You might still waste a lot of time looking for items when you need them.<\/p>\n<p>In the context of staying productive, being organized means having the items you use more close at hand. It means giving everything a home and putting those things back in their designated places to\u00a0be easily retrieved.\u00a0Some of us can work in clutter because we know where everything is. Others thrive in a spotless workplace. Either way is fine as long as you\u2019re not misplacing anything.<\/p>\n<h2><b>3. The more hours you work, the more productive you are.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Just because you\u2019re working for eight, 10\u00a0or even 12 hours a day doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re productive. Between breaks, distractions\u00a0and fatigue, the average employee working an eight-hour workday is only really productive for portions of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, working too many hours is detrimental to your health. According to a study of 85,000 people in the European Heart Journal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2017\/jul\/14\/long-working-days-can-cause-heart-problems-study-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">long working days<\/a>\u00a0can increase the odds of you having a stroke.\u00a0Working more hours does not\u00a0automatically\u00a0mean\u00a0you will get more done. Instead, block out times when you can work undisrupted by turning off notifications or closing your office.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, make sure that you schedule time for breaks. Taking a breather will help you recharge and refocus so that you can get back to the task at hand. More on that in a bit.<\/p>\n<h2><b>4. You work best under pressure.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Some people claim that working under pressure boosts their productivity. That may be true in small doses. For example, you may have an upcoming trip and you need to hustle so you can get away. Living like this on a consistent basis however isn\u2019t sustainable and usually only creates stress.<\/p>\n<p>Stress impairs both your health and work. It\u2019s long been linked to cardiovascular problems, and can certainly make you less fun to work with. Because of all this, keep stress to a minimum.\u00a0One healthy tip is to not wait until the last minute. Be aware of deadlines and set priorities to help with this.<\/p>\n<h2><b>5. Jumping right in will help you get more done.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Some people recommend that you just jump right into your work, without a plan. The idea is that as long as you\u2019re getting work done, you\u2019re making progress.<\/p>\n<p>This can be both true and not true. You may end-up working on a key project for an entire day without having accomplished, or even started, any of your other key tasks. You were so focused on getting certain items done\u00a0that you did it all without a plan. That\u2019s like driving across the country without a map or using GPS.<\/p>\n<p>A more productive approach would be to kick off your day by identifying key tasks and mapping out work time. That takes some preparation, but it will help you stay on track when you come across obstacles.<\/p>\n<h2><b>6. You must keep working until you\u2019re done with a task.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>I get it. Why start a project if you aren\u2019t going to finish it?<\/p>\n<p>Because, sometimes stopping isn\u2019t a bad thing.\u00a0Instead of forcing yourself to finish a task &#8212; even if you\u2019ve hit a wall &#8212; identify a good place to stop and switch gears to another item on your to-do-list. For example, if you\u2019ve been doing data analysis all morning, take a break and respond to some important emails.\u00a0This allows your brain to take a break from a problem it&#8217;s been tackling. When you return to the original task you may be refreshed enough to crank it out more quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n<h2><b>7. Multitasking is efficient.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>I can understand the theory. Working on two or three projects at the same time means you\u2019re getting more done. Unfortunately, multitasking just isn\u2019t possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe neuroscience is clear: We are wired to be mono-taskers,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/health.clevelandclinic.org\/science-clear-multitasking-doesnt-work\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">writes<\/a>\u00a0Cynthia Kubu, PhD, and Andre Machado, MD. \u201cOne study found that just 2.5 percent of people are able to multitask effectively. And when the rest of us attempt to do two complex activities simultaneously, it is simply an illusion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you take a good look at the times you\u2019ve multi-tasked, you probably see that you switched focus from one thing to another too often to do either of them very well. This is deadly from a productivity standpoint.<\/p>\n<p>In short, don\u2019t multitask. Do one task at a time and then move-on to the next.<\/p>\n<h2><b>8. Rewards boost productivity.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>While monetary or physical rewards can be used to boost productivity, they usually only last\u00a0momentarily. Once a reward has been received, we eventually return to the same level of productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of relying solely on rewards and incentives, tap into your intrinsic motivation.What about a task is important to you and requires your effort? This probably motivates us more than any type of physical\u00a0reward can.<\/p>\n<p>To get started, get in touch with your life\u2019s purpose. This is key when it comes to self-motivation. If you\u2019re not passionate or excited about whatever you\u2019re doing, then why bother at all? You may find that the more fulfilled you feel by the work you\u2019re doing, the more productive you are.<\/p>\n<h2><b>9. Productivity techniques will solve all of your problems.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Go back and review any article providing productivity advice. You\u2019re bound to see techniques like the Pomodoro Technique or Jerry Seinfeld&#8217;s \u201cDon\u2019t Break the Chain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong. These techniques can be effective. That\u2019s why people swear by them. However, just because it works for them doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s going to work for you. So, don\u2019t force yourself to use a productivity technique that isn\u2019t working for you.<\/p>\n<p>Try out a different techniques until you find the ones that work best for you. Personally, I live-by the Pomodoro Technique, which is working for around 25 minutes and then taking a five minute break (or a bit longer).<\/p>\n<p>This can be altered to suit your specific work habits. For example, I can often work straight for an hour before I start losing focus. So, I sometimes work for 60-minutes straight and then take a 30-minute break.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, it\u2019s all about what works for you. Keep this in mind as you test these productivity myths, and find the truth in them that helps you get more done.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ember6626\" class=\"ember-view\">\n<div class=\"reader-article-content\">\n<p><em>Thanks for reading! <em class=\"us\">Sign up to get my stories and online courses by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jboitnott.com\/zh\/media-coverage-online-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">clicking here<\/a>. <\/em>My work is almost entirely reader-funded so if you enjoyed this piece please consider sharing it around, liking me on <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jboity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><em>Facebook<\/em><\/a><em>, following me on\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jboitnott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><em>Twitter<\/em><\/a><em>, and maybe throwing some money into my hat on\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/Boitnott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><em>Patreon<\/em><\/a><em>, on\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.me\/Boitnott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><em>Paypal<\/em><\/a><em>, or with Etherium: 0x24AC7A8fF92721b9827A03a6936Fe169b864C941<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being productive\u00a0plays a huge role in your success.
