The obvious solution to getting more work done is working longer hours. Simply working more hours, however, usually isn’t the best solution.
It’s been said the average employee only spends 25% of their time doing productive work. In a 40 hour week that amounts to about 10 hours of productive work.
If an employee was to work for 50 hours each week they would complete 12.5 hours of productive work. Better, but still less than desirable circumstances.
However, if that same employee was to continue working 40 hour weeks, but increase their productivity by just 10% they would complete 14 hours of productive work.
Thus saving an extra 10 hours per week for their personal lives and still doing an extra 1.5 hours of work vs their workaholic counterpart.
Putting in more hours can be effective in getting more work done, but often it’s more beneficial to look at how you work.
Doing either will help you get more done, but if you’re a real hustler, you’ll do both.
