Gorrín: “Work smarter not harder.” I remember those words over forty
years ago from my mentor. They still hold true today as much as hey did back
then. We all want to feel productive. Often, in order to feel productive, we
just start doing--something, anything, everything. Did you know that buisness
owners spend 40% of their day on time-wasting tasks that don't build the
company. All this is well said and true. Today, I would like to tak about how
to be more productive without changing anything in your office. We will focus
on the effects of sleep on your employees.
Sleep loss is estimated to cost the U.S. $63
million in lost productivity. According to a report from the Huffinton Post,
sleep deprived workers were so consistently tired on the job that they cost
their employers the equivalent of 7.8 days of work in lost productivity each
year — an amount equal to an average of about $2,280 in salary per person.
Sleep deprivation is linked with:
Reduced productivity
Difficulty focusing
Lower job satisfaction
Impairments in innovative thinking
One of the suggestions was not to start the
workday before 9am. Also to allow where possible, a flexible schedule.
A proper nights sleep has been found to have
the following effect:
Makes you healthier and is good for your
heart and you burn more calories.
Makes you smarter and your brain is more
likely to remember things and to think clearer. Making those tough decisions
will be easier to make.
It brightens your mood. Your mood will affect
how well you work as a team player in the office and how well you come across
to your business prospects. You do not want employees coming in cranky.
You will have more energy and will take less
time to perform tasks. Sleep deprivation can make you lethargic.
Productivity deals with people. If your staff
is not up to their full potential because they are not getting their proper
amount of sleep, then you will not get a good productivity from them.
Benjamin Franklin was quoted
as saying….
“Early to bed and early to rise, makes
a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
James Thurber was of
different opinion and said…..
“Early to rise and early to bed makes a male
healthy and wealthy and dead.”

Franklin’s saying is more famous but most
manager consultants who work on productivity of companies are more likely to
agree with Thurber.
Get enough sleep every night. An exhausted
mind is rarely productive. There is an old saying about letting boys sleep…
“Let him sleep, when he awakes he will move mountains.” There is a lot of truth
to that statement. Productivity is more about keeping a sharp mind, smart happy
employees, motivated employees, ability to plan and ability to keep focused.
The list goes on and on. It all relies on your employees and your ability to be
at the top of your game in mind and in body. That just could never be without
being healthy and having had enough sleep. Raúl Antonio Gorrín.
