Low Productivity At Work

Less productivity at work is a pervasive issue that affects businesses of all sizes and industries. From missed deadlines to incomplete tasks, the consequences of Less productivity can be far-reaching. 

At the heart of this problem often lies a lack of motivation and engagement among employees. When individuals feel disengaged from their work or disconnected from the company's goals, they are more likely to procrastinate and struggle to perform at their best.

To combat less productivity at work, organizations must prioritize employee engagement and create a supportive work environment that fosters motivation and accountability. This can involve providing clear goals and expectations, offering opportunities for skill development and growth, and recognizing and rewarding employees for their contributions.

Lack Of Engagement

One of the primary drivers of less productivity is a lack of engagement among employees. When individuals feel disconnected from their work or disengaged from the company's mission, they are less likely to exert effort and focus on their tasks. This can result in decreased productivity, lower quality work, and increased absenteeism.

To address lack of engagement, organizations must take proactive steps to cultivate a positive work culture and foster meaningful connections between employees and the company. 

This can involve promoting open communication and collaboration, providing opportunities for professional development and advancement, and offering incentives and rewards for high performance.

Lack Of Employee Engagement

Employee engagement is a critical factor in driving productivity and performance in the workplace. When employees are engaged and invested in their work, they are more likely to take ownership of their responsibilities, seek out opportunities for improvement, and contribute positively to the organization's success. However, when engagement levels are low, it can lead to decreased morale, higher turnover rates, and ultimately, lower productivity.

To combat lack of employee engagement, organizations must prioritize building strong relationships with their workforce and creating a supportive and inclusive work environment. This can involve soliciting feedback from employees, addressing concerns and grievances promptly, and providing opportunities for professional development and growth.

Employee Productivity Monitoring

Effective employee monitoring software is essential for identifying areas of improvement and ensuring that individuals are meeting performance expectations. 

By tracking key metrics and performance indicators, organizations can gain valuable insights into employee productivity levels and identify potential areas for improvement. This can involve monitoring factors such as task completion rates, project deadlines, and time spent on specific activities.

Additionally, employee productivity monitoring can help identify patterns of behavior or workflow bottlenecks that may be contributing to less productivity. By identifying these issues early on, organizations can take proactive steps to address them and optimize workflows for maximum efficiency.

Epilogue!

In conclusion, conquering low Productivity requires a proactive approach that addresses the root causes of disengagement and provides employees with the support and resources they need to succeed. 

By prioritizing employee engagement, implementing effective productivity monitoring strategies, and fostering a positive work culture, organizations can transform procrastination into a productivity powerhouse and achieve success in today's competitive business landscape.

I love that when I'm having a hard time using my words - and revert to communication via typing - my spouse, sitting right next to me, will respond with typing.

It's just one of those things that makes the rough days easier. ^_^ ❤️

#quin muses #I'm doing alright btw #just a low words day #but I'm getting work AND chores done #so it's pretty productive at least

ur post about queerbaiting and the dismissal of people in fandom to critical analysis is so incredibly true thank you. i feel like marcille's writing in the anime has been super misogynistic a lot of the time and every time i bring this up all anyone wants to say is "well maybe this isn't for you! and you shouldn't watch the show!" like. i don't think this is about taste lmao, i am analyzing the text in front of me and coming to conclusions about the craft of it.

[This is in reference to this post]

YES!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

It is so so frustrating!!!!

It's like being at a restaurant and being served a bunch of delicious appetizers, but then one of the bread appetizers is literally just a plate of crumbs; and then when you're like, "Hey, uhh, why are we being served literal crumbs?", a bunch of the other folks eating at the restaurant are like,

"WELL HOW ABOUT YOU JUST DON'T EAT HERE THEN??!? YOU MUST NOT BE THAT HUNGRY, SO JUST FIND ANOTHER RESTAURANT AND DON'T EAT WITH US!!"

And maybe they say it politely, but "Aw, sorry, maybe this restaurant just isn't for you 💖" is just trading out an aggressive dismissive tone for a patronizing dismissive tone. It's the same message.

And it's like! I was honestly happy to move on from the crumbs once my complaint was acknowledged because the meal overall is still delicious, but then all these folks got SUPER WEIRD AND DEFENSIVE ABOUT IT, so now I find myself double-checking all the other dishes -- and, actually, you know what those eggs DO look a Iittle misogynistic undercooked!!!!

#original #queerbaiting #dunmeshi #dungeon meshi #falin x marcille #marcille x falin #marcille donato #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi marcille #listen i like marcille but u r right she is basically there to be a wet blanket a LOT of the time and that is a sexist trope #i think the bar is super super low for female characters in adventure anime and the lack of constant ogling maybe makes the female #characters feel better written than they are. i mean falin basically has no personality. she's got an innocent heart but that's nothing. #and i think these conversations are worth having bc no piece of media is perfect and this is how we learn to do better #also like. I've seen media criticisms that make me go 'oh you straight up should reserve commentary bc you #haven't watched the show and you're wrong' or 'i see what you're saying but you are simply incorrect' but like #i don't think I'd tell someone to just NOT watch Hazbin Hotel bc they have a bad take - and certainly not bc they have accurately #pinpointed a real flaw about the show (of which there are more than a few but frankly not what became the biggest subject of Disc Horse) #Angel is actually an amazing character & i think people mistook a criticism on the way abuse is glamourized as actually glamourizing abuse #like his song about abuse is called Poison and he's trapped in an abusive performance contract - bringing to mind Britney Spears #i think it is a wildly triggering and painful scene but i think a lot of people took the pain it gave them to mean it was bad art #but tbh they are still allowed to eat at the table if they so choose!!! #sorry i got sidetracked - as an abuse survivor Angel just matters a lot to me. i have a couple serious criticisms of vivziepop's work but #Angel is very much not one of them #also in regards to the actual subject of this post i think the most audacity of the responses i got was the one that said #that by complaining about queerbaiting I was 'de-incentivizing writers to write any interaction b/t women that could look even a little gay #and I'm just like. good. I hope they stop writing entirely. if the takeaway from 'please don't sell me bread and then serve me crumbs' is #'WELL NOW I JUST WON'T BAKE ANY BREAD PRODUCT' then that person is a bad chef. they should find a different job. #or at least do a whole lot of work on themselves. but either way i wouldn't be too broken up to know i won't be getting any food from them. #'just leave then' is so obviously a gut reaction defense mechanism & it implies media criticism should only be for things you don't like

uh oh the restless energy has taken hold of me while my wallet is nearby

#the desire to do something that brings joy and makes use of the time left in the day #but anything “productive” like writing or art takes too much mental energy that i do not have after work #and i've already poked around on crunchyroll's new anime page #and i've already played a bit of video games #what next you ask #online shopping :))) #surely nothing bad will happen if i buy myself little treats to bring low energy joy :))) #nyoomerr rambles

Do you have any idea what its like to be a sustainable agriculture girlie with a hatred of permaculture. Do you have any idea how much I suffer every day.

#Its not that I hate it its that it doesn't work.... #Not in my biome. Not for the plants that grow here. Not unless you are trying to maximise the productivity of like. A small garden #I want to like it! Its a really nice idea... #And. You know. it's a broad concept. It covers a multitude. Some of the things it covers work! #But those things are also captured under the term......gardening. #So permaculture in my experience is either some shit that does not work! Or a fancy word for gardening #It also claims to be low-human-intervention and somehow more energy efficient as a food production method? #And its just not. Sorry. Planting things in rows is actually very efficient that's why people do it #So yeah uhhhh to recind my first tag. I hate it. I hate permaculture its an unscientific buzzword #For inefficient gardening #And 1 in 5 times i tell ppl what I do for a living they go OH COOL LIKE PERMACULTURE I LOVE PERMACULTURE #I suffer #Me Fein #Eefa sells her labour

@heartofstanding tagged me in this meme months ago and unfortunately it took me this long to get to it because I had a mild crisis over how long it's been since I've read a novel, let alone one that I loved 😅 so this is nine of my favourite novels (not books, because if I included manga/short stories/comics/etc this would be giant)

0The Picture of Dorian Gray -- Oscar Wilde// Pyrrhus-- Mark Merlis//The Scarecrow--Ronald Hugh Morrieson//Unnatural History--Kate Osman//Tunnels of Blood--Darren Shan//The Coffin Dancer--Jeffery Deaver//Hero--Perry Moore//Frankenstein--Mary Shelley//One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest-- Ken Kasey

#TPODG I feel like is obvious. But a genuinely hilarious book that is also poignant and tragic and so /so/ compelling #The more work you put into it the more you get out of it and I get so sad every time I see people #not wanting to look deeper than what's beyond the surface #Pyrrhus gets the extremely high honour of Greek Myth Retelling That is Actually Good #it's less about the Trojan War and more about the journey there set in the 1980s gay scene #the cursed spot that gets Philoctetes abandoned is an effective allegory right until the moment it isn't an allegory at all #and you should see the gut punch coming but somehow you don't #The Scarecrow is my Token Kiwi Representation and it's also the one that got me into the genre I now write almost exclusively #reading it feels like watching a cheesy low budget slasher that accidentally says some really interesting things about sexism and misogyny #(I say accidentally because it is the 20s and my tutor very loudly hated this book for being sexist) #(and I both totally agree and disagree because Prue is the prototypical final girl and needs an adaptation that does her justice) #Also the story of this novel's publication is freaking hilarious and why I will only write under a pseudonym because I would be next #Unnatural History is an exact blueprint of what I love about sci-fi done well in the way we've only very recently started to see on screen #and I hate that the show of Doctor Who rarely if ever reaches this level #Tunnels of Blood is my favourite of the Darren Shan Saga but really is just a stand in for the entire series #yes it's a kids series but it's a kid series that got me into horror and surrealism #and delivers the most effective and heartbreaking plot twist that not even Hannibal pulled off as well #The Coffin Dancer is just some damn good crime fiction and I wish Jeffery Deaver wasn't so slept on #(yes I know The Bone Collector got an adaptation but The Bone Collector isn't even in the top ten of the Lincoln Rhyme series) #unfortunately Deaver's strongest point is his use of point of view #but he still manages to get the twist to be shocking (and Coffin Dancer is the best example of it) in a way that other media fails at #Hero is about a gay disabled teen with superpowers and somehow tumblr does not know about it #It is such a fun riff on superheroes while also being genuinely sweet and touching and sad #It was meant to get a tv show but the writer passed so it got stuck in production hell :( #Frankenstein is Frankenstein. It's just good on like every level. Victor is my problematic fave. I will take no criticism. #I am however on my knees hoping the Guillermo Del Toro adaptation finally gets it right #one flew over the cuckoo's nest means so much to me but no one ever talks about it beyond the Ratched and Mcmurphy stuff #who are the least interesting characters to me. And I find the debate about the sexism ignores that the novel is about the structural abuse #of the mentally ill

I have done approximately zero writing today but I have done the following:

Started a letter to a friend

Spent waaaaaaay too much time on Pinterest making a new board for some pirate OCs

Read a little of the first chapter of Sense and Sensibility

Learned how to do the herringbone crochet stitch, and am currently adding several rows of it to my blanket!

Played Lego LOTR

Watched the new PJO episode twice

#it was fun! #not per se super productive #but that's okay!! #also that's a lie i worked on editing my book a little #but it was low effort and i didn't do much #still!! better than none #anyways once i finish some more of this stitch row y'all are getting pictures #it looks SICK #crafting with hazel

The dichotomy between what's popular according to booktok (from what I've see) from the most blandest books imaginable to the most taboo erotica you can think of is kinda wild.

I think that what gets me with taboo books recommended by BookTok is that they're usually very poorly written. And if the writing is poor, you're not really getting the full "shock" value.

Like, when you read Sierra Simone's Thornchapel series, the scenes read as really intense because Sierra is an excellent writer. In contrast, a book like Hooked (that one dark romance~ modern Captain Hook book, a concept I was very open to and wanted to like, for the record) is very badly written. There's taboo content and a horrible hero, but like... It just reads juvenile.

I'm about 65% through A Kiss at Midnight by Anne Stuart, a historical romance that is QUITE dark, but the writing is frankly fabulous. Because Stuart can write, the darkness (which is not like, the corny "oh he's so bad he's in a motorcycle gang" torture sequence stuff--it's TRULY intense and pretty accurate for the era) is balanced out by emotional progression and honestly? A very dry, at times dark humor. If a lesser writer handled this plotline, it would just seem like shock factor after shock factor layered on just to get people talking. Very 2edgy4me.

And I'm gonna be really real here. Some fanfic authors are made to transition to actual published books. I think Ali Hazelwood writes a really solid contemporary romance. I really enjoyed You, Again by Kate Goldbeck, and that's based on a fic I actually read. The Hurricane Wars works as a book. (And mind you, let's not take away from the work the editors and authors did to rework fics into actual books here.)

Some fic authors are meant to stay fic authors and to excel at that. I personally think that one of the reasons why we have so many blaaand romance novels right now is that a) some of them are written by less-equipped fic authors trying to write real books and b) some of the authors have read less actual books than they have fics.

There are some tensely plotted, exciting fics out there. But personally? I think the standout nature of those fics--fics like Manacled, which... I think.... is not.... for me. However, bland it is not lol--makes people think that is the NORM for fic, when it's not. The norm for fic, and what I think a lot of more casual fic consumers and people who read more fic than they do books (compared to a lot of romance readers who turn to fic to supplement their reading habits) is very plotless slice of life stuff.

And that's not meant to be derogatory. It works, especially when you're writing about characters a lot of people know and love and are PROGRAMMED to know and love. Even if it's AU and they're basically other people, if you're writing a modern, sedate romcom about Katniss and Peeta and she mentions going to archery classes and Peeta being a baker, people are like aawwwww and they enjoy the nicely written scenes that are just people being people.

That.... ultimately creates a bland story when you're writing a book about original characters nobody has a preexisting investment in.

#romance novel blogging #lol idk sometimes i feel like fic gets this sweeping pass bc we're not supposed to critique the work #and not critiquing the work is fine i'm not here to tell y'all a thing someone is doing for free is bad when they don't want feedback #BUT... i think it's fair to critique the way fic has been uplifted and held on this pedestal compared to books #and EQUATED to books #which is my biggest complaint always #it's not better or worse it's different and if you think you can transition from fics to books #without reworking your products and your style #and frankly often putting a lot more work in #... idk man that's just so low effort and i personally think that's one reason why we see subpar books where nothing happens #they've always existed some people just do that lol but some of it i read and i'm like #this is like someone wrote a review 200k word fic about absolutely nothing changed the names and bit publish #(and another thing--one way you CAN tell there is a different type of work being done with fic is the wordcount dif #the standard for say a historical romance #which is often given more room traditionally in terms of word count than a contemporary romance #is 100k words #contemporaries often have landed between 80k-100k #then you have these 150k contemporaries and they're bloated as hell #but that wordcount is not unusual for fics #and fics are nORMALLY if edited at all being edited by amateur beta readers who do not professionally edit work #and often only look for typos or scene/character issues versus things like overarching plot and structural weakness #ADDITIONALLY! when you read a fic you're usually reading someone writing in real time #whereas if you are reading a well-done actual book you're reading someone's like... billionth draft that's been worked over by #multiple eyes. and i include indie in this bc the really good indie books have usually been professionally edited #on top of critique partners proofers etc) #ANYWAY.
