Opportunities that call swift and immediate action and response often come, so you should always be ready to have the necessary and useful data at hand. Likewise, you should maintain organization in schedule. Time management is one way on how you could spare time to wait and attend to urgent matters and opportunities. For the production managers, these had been a constant challenge. Thankfully, there had been studies, experiments, and subsequent findings on how to improve productivity. After some time, many great methods were tried, tested, and were proven effective and are now in use by many companies. They come in many different configurations but are basically the same strategies. This second habit of highly effective people is mainly based in a premise that initiatives can be divided into two groups: the first being those conceived on mind and the second being initiatives done through action. As such, many experts claim that numerous aggressive endeavors fail because of failure on the mindset. Nevertheless, the data are clear in showing links between productivity growth and inflation. It is shown that at longer intervals, the magnitude of their relationship grows. It seems that periods of high productivity growth are periods of lower inflation. The interpretation by economists on the correlations between productivity and output, real per capita income and inflation are further clouded by other economic factors. To be able to increase productivity, you need to plan ahead and do things ahead of time so you will be given more opportunity or chance in case the first plan did not work. Taking and thinking one step ahead are the best foundations of being productive because if you were able to develop these, it would be easier for you to take tougher and bigger problems or challenges along the way. It would require so much self-assessment as well as constant reflection over one's self, on his or her environment, the people that surround him or her and the overall condition of life that he or she is in. Studies show that once each of these has been thoroughly assessed, it will be easier to pave the way for continuous productivity.
