Die vier schlimmsten Produktivitätskiller im Job – und wie man sie loswird

Zu viele Aufgaben, ineffiziente Strukturen oder die Ablenkung durchs Smartphone. Viele Dinge mindern die Produktivität bei der Arbeit und damit die Arbeitsleistung. Man kommt nicht weiter, ist ständig frustriert und die nächsten Punkte auf der Tagesordnung warten schon. Doch die meisten Hindernisse für die Produktivität sind unnötig und können vermieden werden. Die größten Produktivitätskiller im Überblick. 

Die vier größten Produktivitätskiller im Überblick:

  • Ineffiziente Meetings: Stundenlange Konferenzen mit zu vielen Beteiligten und Diskussionen, die ins Nichts führen. Meetings können Zeitfresser sein und die Produktivität einschränken. Eine Studie des Chatanbieters Slack aus dem Jahr 2023 ergab, dass die Befragten lediglich etwas mehr als Hälfte ihrer Meetings als gute Nutzung der Arbeitszeit bewerten. Rund 36 Prozent der Meetings wurden sogar als unnötig eingestuft. Auch Steve Jobs, Mitbegründer des Technologieriesen Apple, hielt seinerzeit wenig von der Meetingkultur. Wie GQ-magazin.de erklärt, machte er dies bereits in einem Interview mit Business Week aus dem Jahr 1997 deutlich: „Meetings sind eines der schlimmsten Dinge in der heutigen Firma. Sie sind schrecklich. Meetings unterbrechen die Arbeit, brechen den Schwung, töten die Kreativität. Und es sind Stunden und Stunden verschwendete Zeit.“
  • Ablenkung: Wahrscheinlich kennen es die meisten. Man will sich ganz auf eine Sache konzentrieren, aber es gelingt einfach nicht. Man tratscht kurz mit den Kollegen, liest ein paar Mails und plötzlich ist eine Stunde vergangen und man hat nichts geschafft. Multitasking ist nicht jedermanns Sache. Einer Studie der Cardiff University aus dem Jahr 2013 zufolge würden Menschen ihre Fähigkeit, mehrere Dinge gleichzeitig zu tun, überschätzen. 
  • Zu viele E-Mails: Man kommt morgens in die Arbeit und öffnet sein E-Mail-Konto. Das Postfach quillt über und Dutzende Nachrichten sind noch ungelesen. Bevor man sich ans Tageswerk macht, muss man zuerst einmal seine Mails abarbeiten. Dabei sind viele oft gar nicht wichtig und landen nur im Postfach, weil man in einem unnötigen Mailverteiler steckt.
  • Schlechte Laune: Eine Studie des Instituts der deutschen Wirtschaft aus dem Jahr 2023 zeigte, dass Wohlbefinden die Arbeitsleistung steigert. Zufriedene Mitarbeiter sind pragmatischer, fallen seltener aus und verstehen sich besser mit Kollegen und Kunden. Schlechte Laune im Job sorgt dagegen für fehlende Motivation und Trägheit. Die Gründe dafür können verschieden sein. Ob man von Arbeitskollegen genervt ist, einen schlechten Chef hat oder generell einfach unzufrieden im Job ist. Der Produktivität tut die schlechte Laune nicht gut. 
  • Hindernisse für die Produktivität: Was man dagegen tun kann
  • Meetings sollten ein klar definiertes Ziel haben, damit man nicht vom Thema abkommt. Die Teilnehmeranzahl sollte zudem möglichst niedrig gehalten werden. So kann man vermeiden, dass sich Mitarbeiter im Meeting wiederfinden und überhaupt nichts beitragen können. Wie Einkauf-und-management.de erklärt, sollte man die Dauer der Meetings schon bei der Planung so kurz wie möglich halten. Bauen Sie stattdessen lieber einen Puffer nach dem Meeting ein, den Sie bei Bedarf noch verwenden können.
  • Sortieren Sie Ihre E-Mails in Kategorien und Ordner. So behalten Sie die Ordnung im Nachrichtenmeer. Newsletter, die Sie nicht lesen, sollten abbestellt werden. Sind Sie noch unschlüssig, ob Sie eine E-Mail löschen wollen, hilft die Archivfunktion.
  • Stellen Sie eine To-do-Liste auf und arbeiten Sie Ihre Punkte nacheinander ab, anstatt parallel zueinander. Arbeiten Sie konzentriert und nutzen Sie kleine Pausen an der Kaffeemaschine, um mit Kollegen zu sprechen.
  • Sind Sie unzufrieden in Ihrem Job? Und schränkt das Ihre Produktivität ein? Dann sollten Sie etwas dagegen tun. Sie können Ihren Chef darauf ansprechen und gemeinsam mit ihm eine Lösung für Ihre fehlende Motivation am Arbeitsplatz finden.
The tasks pile up, but you can't manage to complete them. But where are the obstacles? The biggest productivity killers and what you can do about them.

Too many tasks, inefficient structures or the distraction of smartphones. Many things reduce productivity at work and thus work performance. You don't get anywhere, you're constantly frustrated and the next items on the agenda are already waiting. But most barriers to productivity are unnecessary and can be avoided. The biggest productivity killers at a glance.

The four biggest productivity killers at a glance:

Inefficient meetings: 
Hour-long conferences with too many participants and discussions that lead nowhere. Meetings can be time wasters and limit productivity. A 2023 study by the chat provider Slack showed that respondents rated only slightly more than half of their meetings as a good use of working time. Around 36 percent of the meetings were even classified as unnecessary. Steve Jobs, co-founder of the technology giant Apple, also didn't think much of the meeting culture at the time. As GQ-magazin.de explains, he made this clear in an interview with Business Week in 1997: “Meetings are one of the worst things in today's company. They are terrible. Meetings interrupt work, break momentum, kill creativity. And it’s hours and hours of wasted time.

Too many emails: 
You come to work in the morning and open your email account. The inbox is overflowing and dozens of messages are still unread. Before you start your day's work, you first have to process your emails. Many of them are often not important at all and just end up in your inbox because you are on an unnecessary mailing list.

Bad mood: 
A 2023 study by the German Economic Institute showed that well-being increases work performance. Satisfied employees are more pragmatic, are absent less often and get along better with colleagues and customers. A bad mood at work, on the other hand, causes a lack of motivation and sluggishness. The reasons for this can be different. Whether you are annoyed by work colleagues, have a bad boss or are generally just dissatisfied with your job. A bad mood is not good for productivity.

Meetings should have a clearly defined goal so that you don't stray from the topic. The number of participants should also be kept as low as possible. This way you can avoid employees finding themselves in the meeting and not being able to contribute anything at all. 

As Einkauf-und-management.de explains, you should keep the duration of the meetings as short as possible when planning them. Instead, it's better to build in a buffer after the meeting that you can still use if necessary.

Sort your emails into categories and folders. This is how you keep order in the sea of ​​news. Newsletters that you do not read should be unsubscribed. If you are still undecided whether you want to delete an email, the archive function can help.

Make a to-do list and work through your items one after the other instead of parallel to each other. Work with concentration and take short breaks at the coffee machine to talk to colleagues.

Are you dissatisfied in your job? And does that limit your productivity? Then you should do something about it. You can talk to your boss about it and work with him to find a solution to your lack of motivation at work.

Keeping our focus on God always strong



By Fr. Roy Cimagala

Chaplain

Center for Industrial Technology and Enterprise (CITE)

Talamban, Cebu City

Email: roycimagala@gmail.com


IN the gospel of the Mass on Monday of the Third Week of Easter (cfr. Jn 6, 22-29), we are told about how more and more people, after learning about how Christ managed to feed 5 thousand people with a few loaves of bread, came looking for Christ. They were even willing to cross the water in boats just to find him.


This reaction of the people should also be our reaction to Christ. We should try our best to develop and keep our attraction to Christ as strong and abiding as possible. We have to convince ourselves that this is the ideal condition for us to be in, and thus, we have to be wary of the constant danger of being drawn and trapped in our earthly affairs only, with Christ regarded only peripherally, if at all.


For this, we first of all should ask for God’s grace which is actually given to us in abundance. And from there, let’s go through some systematic plan of life that will nourish and strengthen our constant and intimate relationship with God, a relationship that should involve our entire self—body and soul, feelings, emotions and passions down to our very instincts, as well as our mind and heart.


It should be a plan that should obviously include prayer in all its forms—vocal, liturgical, ejaculatory, mental, contemplative, etc. Our life of prayer should be such that even when we are immersed in the things of the world due to our work and our temporal duties, we would still be aware of God’s presence, and it is doing God’s will that should always motivate us. Our faith tells us that God is everywhere. It should not be hard to find him.


The plan definitely should include practices that will foster our spirit of sacrifice, penance and purification, given the obvious fact that no matter how much we try to be good, we would always be hounded by our weaknesses and the temptations around, and the possibility of falling into sin is high. This spirit of sacrifice would help us discipline ourselves in order to rally all our faculties for the service of God and of everybody else.


The plan should include a daily effort of ascetical struggle where, aside from fighting evil, we should aim at growing in our love for God and others, by developing the virtues as well as always strengthening them. It should help us to develop a growing concern for others, doing personal apostolates wherever we are and whatever the occasion and circumstance may be.


It should include the frequent recourse to the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist and confession. These spiritual and supernatural means are always effective, enabling us to be with Christ even if we do not feel his presence nor his interventions in our life. And it should also include some program of ongoing formation, knowing that our spiritual life would always need that.


It’s important to realize that the net effect of all these should be a strong and abiding feeling of intimacy with God, a strong attraction to him. We should not allow our attractions to stop at the level of some earthly and temporal goods only.  It should be God and his will and ways that should attract us most.


We should also be wary of the constant danger of getting distracted. We have to identify the usual sources of our distractions and plan an appropriate strategy to deal with them properly.


I love my Mindanao



My Mindanao. Sounds very egoistic, doesn’t it?

Daybreak. Dawn. Early morning. I do try to keep my eyes open, so that I must not miss this great spectacle again: an unforgettable sunrise paints the environs with all the color nature puts at its disposal. I’ve put in a large portion of my life just trying to make things easier for my loved ones and myself. I feel having all the time of my life I want in my hands. I prayed to God that this might be the place to settle down, where I can relax, take things easy and where I can spend the second half of my life.

Once upon a time… . Meanwhile, that’s reality. I have been here for more than 25 years.

I strongly agree with Rod Fernandez in saying: “I have made it my personal mission to explore different places on the island and show the world its vast natural beauty. The political and security situation has significantly improved over the years, and it is now mostly safe to explore different parts of the region”. Born and raised in Mindanao, the Philippines, Rod moved back in 2021 after an overseas stint. He hopes to use his photography to show the vast beauty of Mindanao to the world.

Why do I love Mindanao? This natural beauty makes me cheerful as well as the relationship with the warm and friendly people living here. I can learn from them about diverse ethnic cultures and its very special way to live life even with the struggles and trials or in painful poverty.

I experienced the sea gypsies from Zamboanga, the Badjoas and their boats, their vintas, which are the caravans of the oceans. Mindanao, this part of the Southern Philippines is the melting pot of Christians and Muslims, of foreigners (let’s call them expatriates and count me in!), or such tribes such as Badjaos, Subanon, Tansug, and Yakan.

Mindanao music is unique because it’s music is imbued with mindanao’s history and culture itself. It reflects those of the various beautiful cultures that are filled with their pride and nature of living.

Mindanaoans are passionate and emotional, to express themselves, they prefer to use body language rather than words, making eye contact is a signal of recognition and crucial when you are interacting with others, they will appreciate and feel your genuine interest in them.

Yes, my dear fellows, I am a foreigner who lost his heart to Mindanao. I am staying for good after visiting the second largest island of the Philippines with mosques, towers and women, dressed in MALONGS, blessed paradises for nature loving people, who admire exotic plants, boiling volcano springs, plunging waterfalls, torrential rivers and much more. I love “my Mindanao”.

I clasped Mindanao to my bosom. I would like to recommend Mindanao warmly to everybody. Mindanao, the land of hope and promise… .

Typical Filipino (XLIX) - Typisch Philippinisch (XLIX): Von Angesicht zu Angesicht - Face to face

 




Von Angesicht zu Angesicht

Filipinos tragen eine vollkommen andere Erwartung an "Aufrichtigkeit" heran, wenn es sich um Situationen handelt, in denen sich die Betroffenen Auge in Auge gegenüberstehen. Dann sind Versprechungen und wohlmeinende Halbwahrheiten wichtige Hilfsmittel, um AMOR-PROPIO nicht zu verletzen, denn reibungslose zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen nehmen immer eine Vorrangstellung gegenüber anderen Werten ein. Hier verblüfft es den westlichen Ausländer, wenn sich ein philippinisches JA als VIELLEICHT entpuppt oder lange um den heißen Brei herumgeredet wird, anstatt kurz und knapp NEIN zu sagen.

Fremde sind oft irritiert, wenn Filipinos eine Angelegenheit nicht, was allen anderen Zeit ersparen würde, mit einen offenen NEIN beenden. Doch ebenso verärgert es den Filipino, wenn man die Zeichen und Signale, die das NEIN umschreiben, nicht versteht. Schließlich vermeidet er absichtlich ein direktes NEIN, um den anderen nicht in eine verzwickte und peinliche Lage zu bringen und mit seiner endgültigen Absage z verletzen.

Hier handelt er in der Tat aus Rücksicht auf die Selbstachtung des anderen. Welches Verhalten ist beleidigend und welches rücksichtsvoll? Das ist in der Tat eine Sache der kulturellen Interpretation.


+++

Face to face

Filipinos have a completely different expectation of "sincerity" when it comes to situations where the parties involved come face to face. Then promises and well-meaning half-truths are important tools to avoid hurting AMOR-PROPIO, because smooth interpersonal relationships always take precedence over other values. Here it surprises the Western foreigner when a Filipino YES turns out to be a MAYBE or when people beat around the bush for a long time instead of saying a short and succinct NO.

Strangers are often irritated when Filipinos don't end a matter with an open NO, which would save everyone else's time. But it also annoys Filipinos when they don't understand the signs and signals that describe NO. Finally, he intentionally avoids a direct NO so as not to put the other person in a tricky and embarrassing situation and hurt them with his final rejection.

Here he is actually acting out of consideration for the other's self-respect. Which behavior is offensive and which is considerate? This is indeed a matter of cultural interpretation.



Philippine Fairy Tales (XXXIV) - Philippinische Märchen (XXXIV): The Battle of the Crabs - Die Schlacht der Krabben


 

The Battle of the Crabs 

One day the land crabs had a meeting and one of them said:

“What shall we do with the waves? They sing so loudly all the time that we cannot possibly sleep.”

“Well,” answered one of the oldest of the crabs, “I think we should make war on them.”

The others agreed to this, and it was decided that the next day all the male crabs should get ready to fight the waves. They started for the sea, as agreed, when they met a shrimp.

“Where are you going, my friends?” asked the shrimp.

“We are going to fight the waves,” answered the crabs, “for they make so much noise at night that we cannot sleep.”

“I do not think you will succeed,” said the shrimp, “for the waves are very strong and your legs are so weak that even your bodies bend almost to the ground when you walk.” Wherewith he laughed loudly.

This made the crabs very angry, and they pinched the shrimp until he promised to help them win the battle.

Then they all went to the shore. But the crabs noticed that the eyes of the shrimp were set unlike their own, so they thought his must be wrong and they laughed at him and said:

“Friend shrimp, your face is turned the wrong way. What weapon have you to fight with the waves?”

“My weapon is a spear on my head,” replied the shrimp, and just then he saw a big wave coming and ran away. The crabs did not see it, however, for they were all looking toward the shore, and they were covered with water and drowned.

By and by the wives of the crabs became worried because their husbands did not return, and they went down to the shore to see if they could help in the battle. No sooner had they reached the water, however, than the waves rushed over them and killed them.

Some time after this thousands of little crabs appeared near the shore, and the shrimp often visited them and told them of the sad fate of their parents. Even today these little crabs can be seen on the shore, continually running back and forth. They seem to rush down to fight the waves, and then, as their courage fails, they run back to the land where their forefathers lived. They neither live on dry land, as their ancestors did, nor in the sea where the other crabs are, but on the beach where the waves wash over them at high tide and try to dash them to pieces.

Die Schlacht der Krabben

Eines Tages trafen sich die Landkrabben und einer von ihnen sagte:

„Was machen wir mit den Wellen? Sie singen die ganze Zeit so laut, dass wir unmöglich schlafen können.“

„Nun“, antwortete einer der ältesten Krebse, „ich denke, wir sollten gegen sie Krieg führen.“

Die anderen stimmten dem zu und es wurde beschlossen, dass sich am nächsten Tag alle männlichen Krabben auf den Kampf gegen die Wellen vorbereiten sollten. Wie vereinbart machten sie sich auf den Weg zum Meer, als sie auf eine Garnele trafen.

„Wohin gehst du, meine Freunde?“ fragte die Garnele.

„Wir werden gegen die Wellen kämpfen“, antworteten die Krabben, „denn sie machen nachts so viel Lärm, dass wir nicht schlafen können.“

„Ich glaube nicht, dass es dir gelingen wird“, sagte die Garnele, „denn die Wellen sind sehr stark und deine Beine sind so schwach, dass sogar deine Körper beim Gehen fast bis zum Boden beugen.“ Wobei er laut lchte.

Das machte die Krabben sehr wütend und sie zwickten die Garnele, bis er versprach, ihnen zu helfen, den Kampf zu gewinnen.

Dann gingen sie alle ans Ufer. Aber die Krabben bemerkten, dass die Augen der Garnele anders angeordnet waren als ihre eigenen, also dachten sie, seine Augen müssten falsch sein, und sie lachten ihn aus und sagten:

„Freund Garnelen, dein Gesicht ist in die falsche Richtung gedreht. Welche Waffe hast du, um mit den Wellen zu kämpfen?“

„Meine Waffe ist ein Speer auf meinem Kopf“, antwortete die Garnele, und in diesem Moment sah er eine große Welle kommen und rannte davon. Die Krebse sahen es jedoch nicht, denn sie blickten alle zum Ufer, und sie waren mit Wasser bedeckt und ertranken.

Nach und nach machten sich die Frauen der Krabben Sorgen, weil ihre Männer nicht zurückkamen, und gingen zum Ufer hinunter, um zu sehen, ob sie im Kampf helfen könnten. Doch kaum hatten sie das Wasser erreicht, stürzten die Wellen über sie hinweg und töteten sie.

Einige Zeit später tauchten Tausende kleiner Krabben in Ufernähe auf, und die Garnelen besuchten sie oft und erzählten ihnen vom traurigen Schicksal ihrer Eltern. Noch heute kann man diese kleinen Krabben am Ufer beobachten, wie sie ständig hin und her laufen. Sie scheinen herabzustürmen, um gegen die Wellen anzukämpfen, und dann, als ihr Mut nachlässt, rennen sie zurück in das Land, in dem ihre Vorfahren lebten. Sie leben weder auf dem Trockenen wie ihre Vorfahren, noch im Meer, wo sich die anderen Krabben aufhalten, sondern am Strand, wo die Wellen bei Flut über sie hinwegspülen und versuchen, sie in Stücke zu zerschmettern.
