It’s natural to feel a bit less productive at work during the summer. Nice weather, vacations, children at home, etc.: There are a lot of things that compete for our attention and energy at this time of year.
A dip in productivity could also happen because your bosses, co-workers, clients and vendors are likely taking their vacation time too.
Here are some ways you can boost your work productivity this summer:
- Plan your vacation in advance, at a mutually agreeable time with your team.
- Communicate well about deadlines for your work over the summer months.
- Be okay with outsourcing projects to other departments or teams.
- Shift priorities as needed – focus on projects that require strategic thought while team members are away.
- Be flexible – you may need to work remotely if necessary to keep projects on target.
- Don’t fall prey to lowering your output and standards.
- See the value of augmenting and supporting your staff with outside help.
- Make plans for your kids, and ensure a good balance between work and family time.
