Can You Consistently Come out with High Performance at Your Workplace?

As an employee, you may wish to be in the good books of your employer. Therefore, you may aim to consistently perform very well. But is it possible to consistently come out with high performance at your workplace? If you have such a doubt in your mind, you should know what experts advise. According to experts, the secret of coming out with high performance is to have fun while carrying out your official tasks. 

But how can you have fun while doing your official work? As every person is unique, the ways of having fun while doing official work will differ from one employee to another. This means that you have to learn the ways yourself. In fact, no institution or university including business schools of repute will teach you this secret. As Jim Rohn said, "Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune." 

One of the basic points that can make you happy at your work is when you complete your tasks on time. On the contrary, if you do not complete your work on time, it will make you unhappy. Of course, there may be different reasons that may have contributed to delays in the completion of the tasks. You may not like the tasks and therefore, you are finding some alibi or the other for procrastinating them. Or, there may be distractions that may be robbing your focus towards the tasks. There may be several factors that may cause a delay in the completion of the tasks. 

But how to eliminate such factors and complete your tasks on time?

Now that you have understood that it is the delays in the completion of your tasks that cause unhappiness to you, you may be wondering as to how to surmount this issue. The best way to eliminate this problem is to FIX DEADLINES. This means that you should fix a deadline for every task you take up. Remember that no one is imposing these deadlines. It is you that is imposing such deadlines and you are imposing them for yourself.

An expert has rightly named delays as "tyrannosaurs." Delays not only spoil your reputation but will cause anxiety as well. Therefore, you can not enjoy your work. This will ultimately derail your aim of coming out with high performance on a consistent basis. Of course, you should not compromise on the quality of your work just because you want to avoid delays. 

Since these deadlines are self-imposed, you will avoid distractions from over-powering you. 

Multi-tasking is a killer of high performance

A few years back, people used to laud multi-taskers. But science has proved beyond doubt that multi-tasking kills high performance because it is also a distractor. In fact, it has been proved that people need at least 20 to 30 minutes to get back the required focus after a phase of distraction, however short the duration of the distraction may be. Therefore, avoid multitasking at all costs.  

If you follow these steps, you can consistently come out with a high performance at your workplace.
