How I stay productive in life 👉🏻 https://youtu.be/7M6bIeVbCqA For me, productivity in the workplace means efficiency + accuracy (i.e. there’s no point being more productive if your deliverables…kind of suck) So one of the first things I learned at work was to Steal with Pride. My colleagues have created amazing stuff in the past so there’s really no need to reinvent the wheel! This is by far the most underrated productivity tip for work! Whether you use the Microsoft suite of tools (Word, Powerpoint, Excel) or Google Workspace (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides), there are a LOT of practical things you can do to be more productive (e.g. use data validation to ensure no mistakes are made) TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Quiet Quitting for Productivity 00:37 Steal with Pride 01:35 Template All the Things 02:38 Automation For the Win 04:18 Don’t Be the Weak Link 05:56 Make Pre-Reads Great Again 07:15 Ending Skit RESOURCES I MENTION IN THE VIDEO The Budget Spreadsheet - https://www.jeffsu.org/workplace-productivity-my-top-5-tips Run Effective Meetings - https://youtu.be/LCiQFwAwJvI MY FAVORITE GEAR 🎥 My YouTube Gear - https://www.jeffsu.org/yt-gear/ 💻 What's On My Desk - https://www.jeffsu.org/gear/ 🎆 My Wallpapers - https://jeffsu.gumroad.com/l/gradient-wallpaper-pack *MY TOP 3 FAVORITE SOFTWARE* ❎ CleanShot X - https://geni.us/cleanshotx ✍️ Skillshare - https://geni.us/skillshare-jeff 📖 Readwise - https://readwise.io/jeffsu/ BE MY FRIEND: 📧 Subscribe to my Productivity newsletter - https://www.jeffsu.org/productivity-ping/ 📸 Instagram - https://instagram.com/j.sushie 🤝 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jsu05/ 👨🏻‍💻 WHO AM I: I'm Jeff, a tech professional trying to figure life out.

Quiet Quitting for Productivity

hey Jeff yeah how long until the slides are done um I probably need two days really aren't you supposed to be some sort of productivity person thingy yeah no that's just for show um definitely need two days maybe three actually uh to be safe let's get started hey friends welcome back to the channel in this video I'm sharing my top five productivity tips for work where I'll be using specific examples from my day job so you can clearly see how they work in practice

Steal with Pride

diving right into productivity tip number one steal with pride chances are you have a colleague who creates beautiful presentations a manager who maintains a super clean spreadsheet and a teammate who writes really effective emails steal those with pride in my work Google Drive I literally have a folder called to reference where I save presentations spreadsheets documents that I've come across that I might need to use in the future Pro tip if you use PowerPoint on Google Slides you can actually choose to make a copy of only selected slides and choose to remove all the speaker notes as well this saves me so much time at work since I never have to start from scratch when creating a new presentation for example there's just no need to reinvent the wheel when there's something you can use right away and if you feel uncomfortable with this concept of stealing first you're probably adding your own spin to it and not copying word for word second show your appreciation by giving credit to

Template All the Things

the original Creator number two takes this first tip to the next level and that is to template all the things notion users are probably familiar with the template feature where you can generate a pre-built page with a single click this can obviously save a lot of time since you don't need to create the same section headers and checklists over and over again applying this concept at work I manage a budget spreadsheet that needs to be updated regularly I took 30 minutes two years ago to create this structure so now I can just right click make a duplicate of this template tab at the beginning of every quarter Pro tip it's best practice to include a read me or start here tab so new joiners don't message you with Annoying questions and even if you leave the team the template lives on so as you can see we don't need a specific gen generate template button like notion has to take advantage of this tip I recommend identifying one repetitive task you're responsible for example a monthly recap email take the time to create a structure you can use again and again which brings us to

Automation For the Win

productivity tip number three automation for the win staying within this budget spreadsheet which I'll link down below so you can steal with pride you'll see the cells up top here update automatically based on inputs From Below taking a step back to give some context as the owner of the spreadsheet I'm responsible for reporting these top level numbers to leadership and in order to do that my lovely colleagues need to input their budget forecast down below to make it as easy as possible for both myself and my colleagues I use formulas like sumif features like data validation and conditional formatting to semi-automate the input process for example Warren currently has 90 000 left in his budget if he forecasts another 100 000 this cell turns red and you can easily see his over budget and by how much this is user friendly for him and minimizes the menu calculations for me Pro tip if you copy and paste a table from Google Sheets onto a Google slide you can choose to link to spreadsheet all right so this way if a number changes in the original table let's say 200 000 now you can simply click update without having to reformat or create a new slide real talk it kind of sucks sometimes but the reality is your colleagues are much more likely to help you if they see you've made the work easy for them I mean hey working professionals tell me that's not the case at your job and if it isn't are you hiring on this note let me know if you'd like to see how I manage a typical project at work using work apps and feel free to drop a like while you're down there productivity tip for work number

Don’t Be the Weak Link

four don't be the weak link many viewers might remember this productivity tip from Thiago Forte always organize formation by where you will use it not by where you found it so what I like to do is to reserve a space within a project document and add relevant links for easy access for spreadsheets I like to have the links in an overview Tab four slides they're usually on in the first page and for documents they're on the first page in a separate section I used to organize these links in bookmark folders I. E where I found them but I always forgot to use them so now whenever I need to quickly reference something I know exactly where that related link is pro tip if your project involves multiple documents for example especially to track action items a slide deck for presenting in meetings and a word doc to capture notes make sure they're all linked to each other so if you share one file with a teammate they have access to all related documents and won't bother you with hey can you share that one file again pro tip hyperlink and bookmark whenever appropriate for example if you're trying to share a specific section of a lengthy document add a bookmark for example Google Docs is at bookmark and copy and paste this instead of telling another person hey yeah it's a takeaway section on page three four three same deal with hyperlinks if an agenda item for team meeting or 101 refers to a specific document link to the document so that all parties can quickly open it up to discuss this is made even easier for example in Google Docs you can literally just type at the file name and there you go and this

Make Pre-Reads Great Again

brings me to work tip number five make pre-reads great again or not as catch as Maga um meetings already take up a lot of our time and it's even worse if nothing productive happens during that meeting and you're forced to have a follow-up Conversation Over email or Worse another meeting I have an entire video on how to run effective meetings but basically the meeting owner should always make attendees aware of the objective and agenda through you guessed it pre-reads don't have to be boring or even long I usually just have one sentence around the context of the meeting one sentence on the objective and sometimes a third sentence on why this meeting will benefit the attendees in the book make time written by two ex-googlers there's a great quote around how we should not mistake being more productive with just reacting faster to other people's priorities so if you are a meeting participant and you don't receive a pre-read email or see a clear agenda in the calendar invite it's now your responsibility to protect your own time by challenging the meeting owner hey what's the purpose of this meeting do I have to be here written in a much nicer way of course I have loads more tips like this for work so let me know in the comments if you want more check out this video on how to run effective meetings and in the meantime have a great one
