Reducing working hours can be good for productivity? Economists have suspected it for some time: with higher working hours labour output per hour would fall. The number of working hours is not what matters. Rather, it’s the quality of your time and effort that drives success.
But working less and accomplishing more is not easy. Innovation, creativity, time management are your best allies. Micha Kaufman, Internet entrepreneur, in his article on Forbes suggests 10 Tips to work less and accomplish more:
- Have two computers, one for work and one for play;
- Being productive is impossible if you are not at your best;
- Hear your favorite tunes;
- Work nice with others;
- Love your to do lists;
- Take a break;
- Reduce the noise;
- Love your job or leave it;
- Recharge your batteries
- At some point just stop.
