BE PRODUCTIVE
By John Adeyemi
To be productive is to get results in your office or in the position you occupy.
If you are given an office to perform a duty or responsibilities, it is an opportunity to test your skills, competence, and intelligence to determine whether you are qualified for future leadership or not.
If you are given an opportunity to prove your competence and you fail to do so, it shows that you may not yet be ready for greater opportunities. Proving your competence is not pride, but a sign that you are qualified for greater and better opportunities.
Do not just be a person who occupies a position but cannot deliver results. Do not be someone who carries a title but cannot defend it. How can you be a graduate and still be unable to defend your certificate? That is not a glory, but something shameful.
How To Be Productive:
1. Understand Your Assignment:
Understand your assignment in the office or position you occupy, and determine to succeed in it. Lack of understanding causes confusion. Ignorance is one of the greatest tools for wasting time in life. Be wise.
2. Stop Giving Excuses:
Stop giving excuses and engage yourself in activities that can produce results. Nobody praises your labor alone; people celebrate the success that comes from your labor. People do not truly value your work until they see reasonable results.
3. Study Your Environment:
Study your environment and offer what is missing. Do not allow your environment to control you; instead, learn to positively influence your environment. To be productive in your environment, you must provide solutions to the needs of the people around you.
4. Avoid Procrastination:
Avoid procrastination and embrace diligence. Productivity is not just about working hard, but about working wisely and strategically. It means doing the right thing, in the right place, at the right time, and in a consistent manner. When you apply these principles, you will become productive in your office or position.
5. Be a Reader:
Do not depend only on past knowledge. Keep upgrading yourself so you can flow with 21st-century and digital knowledge rather than outdated methods. Continuous learning increases productivity.
6. Have an Inner Drive:
Let your assignment motivate you to remain consistent until you achieve results. Until positive results are seen in your office or position, people may not acknowledge your labor. Your inner drive will keep you moving even when challenges arise.
7. Focus and Determination:
Be determined to be productive in your position or office. Success does not happen by chance, but through determination. Avoid distractions so you can stay focused on success.
Remember, if you do not perform well in your present position, you may not be offered greater opportunities in the future. It is just like a student who must perform excellently before being promoted to a higher class. Secretly and publicly, determine to succeed in your assignment. Be wise.
Conclusion:
To be productive is to achieve results. Productivity produces progress, expansion, advancement, and positive transformation.
Understand your responsibilities, be a reader, stay determined, remain consistent, be diligent, and develop inner zeal that gives you focus and determination to achieve results daily.
Do not give up. Instead, strive to succeed in your given assignment. Be wise.
