Celebrate #WorldProductivityDay with Koofr

We write about productivity and how to increase it with the help of Koofr regularly. And while #WorldProductivityDay is not a formal holiday, we can still celebrate it by re-evaluating our choices concerning productivity and by becoming productivity-conscious. Procrastinating is adding extra stress to our days and we all know stress is bad for us. If you need additional motivation to be productive, ask yourself: "What would I do, if I had an hour more of free time each day?". Defying procrastination and boosting productivity can help you reach goals you thought were impossible to reach before.

At the moment companies and individuals are facing huge challenges while adapting to new ways of thinking, working and also staying productive. Interestingly, these challenges and their solutions have received positive feedback from the workforce, driving companies to participate in the global digital transformation to be able to support their workforce better. And there is no place better to start with than the cloud.

Here is where Koofr can help you in a lot of small ways, bringing big results in terms of your productivity.

How? Read on and find out.

(7) Be productive when you are reading your e-books. How? Upload them to your e-reader with Calibre and set up a WebDAV connection to your Koofr account. Back up your books to Koofr effortlessly and keep them safe as well as accessible from anywhere all the time.

But that is not all. Remember that using technology and working long hours is far from everything you can and should do. Sitting at your desk all day might seem like you are being productive. But, working extremely long hours will actually hinder your productivity. Instead, try taking a break and recharging. Boost your productivity with exercise to increase your focus, take a walk or listen to music or do something creative. And remember, multitasking does not help anyone.

Happy #WorldProductivityDay!
