What is Productivity?
Productivity is a measure of how efficiently a person/ student/ employee converts inputs, into outputs (e.g Sore or Result, Product, Service etc)
Here understanding INPUT in the context of student is very important.
The Input can be:
- Attention, Grasping of concepts
- Study material, Notes
- Effective Mentor or Coaching institute
- Consistency, Discipline
- Motivation
The majority of the items on this list are personal or behavioral characteristics. If all of these factors come together, the result is a desirable score, result, product, or service. To summarise, while planning your studies, you must also work on your productivity in order to complete your tasks on time.
What are the 5 productivity tips for students who are about to take a ACCA exam.
1.Track your Time
Tracking the number of hours required to spend on a particular task or subject is very important. This will help you to devote meaningful time to tasks. And you will be able to finish the work efficiently.
2.Take Regular breaks
Believe it or not, taking a regular break increases productivity. Students who cram for hours at a time do not perform at their peak. By pushing your mind beyond its capability, you only experience greater stress and fatigue. You can use the pomodoro technique or work for 25 minutes with a 10-minute break.
3. Set deadlines for task
Setting a deadline is part of self-discipline. If it is not urgent, make it urgent!!!
Set a realistic timeframe. Give priority to the task and deadlines. This technique is going to keep you ahead at every point. Following a deadline will always help you to have a free time for other things.
So start designing a timetable with deadlines. You are giving yourself two extra days to make up for anything missed during those five days.
4. Eat well and get plenty of rest.
Eating healthy is going to impact your cognitive function. Good food not only helps to boost energy, but it also keeps the mind calm. Include fruit in your breakfast, followed by a nutritious lunch and a light dinner.
While coffee or tea may appear to be refreshing at the time, excessive consumption can lead to sleep loss or acidity. The best way here is to take a snack break. (have chana, makhana, fresh juice or just sip H2O)
After all, we are what we eat! Last but not least, get your 7-8 hours of beauty sleep. After all, it’s the only detox that is going to replenish you with energy.
5. Exercise
Yes, you heard it right. Exercise can boost your productivity. Increasing your heart rate regularly with a daily exercise routine gives you a “get up and go” kind of attitude. Exercise also makes you alert and receptive. A healthy, exercised person can learn and grasp more than a person with a sedentary lifestyle. A simple walk can reduce stress by 60%. So whenever you feel overwhelmed by the syllabus or studies, just close the books and exercise.
We hope that these pointers will be useful to commerce students studying for the CA, ACCA, or CPA exams as they attempt to climb the mountainous syllabus.
