What's more, according to the Cornerstone State of Workplace Productivity Report, about two-thirds of workers reported being overwhelmed with work, and 84% believe that the number of cases is only increasing every year.

In light of this, you probably want to find some know-how on the Internet to increase your own efficiency. Here are 10 things you can do in 10 minutes to increase your productivity.

10 things you can learn in 10 minutes

Artem Franich

1. Pomodoro Technique

Time management is very important for productivity. I have found that using the Pomodoro technique (and the app of the same name) is very effective. The point is to divide your daily tasks into 25-minute intervals. This allows you to focus on the important things. ( Syed Balkhi, OptinMonster).

2. Improve your average

Spend 5 minutes getting to know psychologist Stan Beecham's philosophy of "elite minds" and another 5 minutes to improve your average productivity. Usually we are trying to increase our best results, while working with averages can greatly affect your productivity in general. ( Douglas Hutchings, Picasolar).

3. How to plan ahead

This is what I learned recently. Weekly planning and making a list of tasks for the whole week (and their solution) helps me to pay enough attention to my affairs, because it is so easy to get distracted when someone constantly needs something from you. This technique allows me to constantly monitor the implementation of my obligations. ( Corey Blake, Round Table Companies).

4. How to Meditate

Within 10 minutes, you can easily learn a meditation technique that you will use for the rest of your life. Meditation helps to calm the mind, relieve stress and bring clarity to thoughts. My productivity increases whenever I meditate and drops when I get out of my work rhythm. Watch the video on YouTube or read the instructions quickly on the blog. Meditation is easy. ( Andrew Thomas, SkyBell Video Doorbell).

5. Memory techniques

If you imagine the brain in the form of folders with files, then you will understand that it is impossible to forget anything. If you forgot something, you either did not save it, or hid the information somewhere far away, from where it is difficult to get it. Concentration and returning to your previous thoughts helps to retain memories. Focus and test yourself on the ability to remember. Return to thoughts by writing them down on paper and then erasing them with an eraser. ( Cody McLain, SupportNinja).

6. How to triple your reading speed

I read at least one book a week while driving, and my commute to work is very short. How to do it? Applications that play audiobooks allow you to scroll through them two to three times faster than usual. In just 10 minutes, the brain adapts to this speed. ( Jesse Lear, V.I.P. Waste Services, LLC).

7. How to take responsibility

Often people make up excuses for themselves instead of taking responsibility for work not done, a project budget misjudgment, or an accident that happened. If you learn to take responsibility, doing business will be much easier. It is much easier to solve a problem without trying to find its cause. Take responsibility and move on. ( Drew Gurley, Redbird Advisors).

8. How to reorganize tasks into important and very important

Making a to-do list seems to be necessary. Over time, however, their number will become so large that the execution of each individual task will be difficult. Of course, you can delegate, but it is much more efficient to divide tasks into very important (they need to be done right now) and important (they can be done at any other time). (

Ladybug

That cow doesn't moo

No horns. hooves, tail

Doesn't give us milk

Lives under the leaves.

In black dots, a red cape is worn by a beetle. Guard plants.

Deftly fights with harmful aphids. this one is ... (ladybug)

To make ladybugs you need: colored paper (red and green), scissors, glue, black markers, templates.

Before starting work, let's remember the safety precautions when working with scissors and glue:

Rules for safe work with scissors

• Keep order in your workplace.
• Before work, check the condition of the tools.
• Do not work with loose scissors.
• Work only with a serviceable tool: well-adjusted and sharpened scissors.
• Work with scissors only at your workplace.
• Watch the movement of the blades as you work.
• Put the scissors with rings towards you.
• Feed the scissors rings forward.
• Don't leave scissors open.
• Store your scissors in their sheath with the blades down.
• Don't play with scissors, don't bring scissors to your face.
• Use your scissors properly.

Rules for safe work with glue

When working with glue, use a brush if necessary.

• Take the amount of glue that is required to complete the work at this stage.
• Remove excess glue with a soft cloth or napkin, gently pressing it.
• Wash your brush and hands well with soap and water after work.

Step 1: Bend a square of red paper diagonally.

Step 2: Turn over the part and bend diagonally on the other side.

Step 3: Fold a triangle out of the square, bending the sides of the square inward. This is the basic origami model - a triangle.

Step 4: Bend the resulting part in half, marking the middle, draw the base of the beetle on one side, cut it out.

Step 5: Circle with a pencil and cut out the second part

We have got such a preparation.

Step 6: We take the patterns of the details of the ladybug and glue

But why did this interesting bug get such a name? Listen, this is interesting. From time immemorial, kind and harmless people have been called "God's". That is how this bug seemed to be kind and harmless to a person. Why a cow? Yes, because the poisonous liquid that the bug emits in case of danger was called "milk". And so it turned out "ladybug". Some mistakenly believe that how many dots on a ladybug, so much for her and her years. This is not true. The dots do not indicate age, but what species the cow belongs to: two dots - two-dot, five dots - five-dot, seven dots - seven-dot.

Ask the children to vacate the class at recess, air it well, turn on one of Mozart's pieces, and invite students a few minutes before the start of the lesson. You will be surprised how well this technique helps to create the right atmosphere for learning. It has been proven that under the influence of Mozart's music mental capacity rises whether the listener likes it or not.

Listening to this music activates the work of almost the entire cerebral cortex, in particular, areas that are involved in motor coordination, spatial thinking, the visual process and higher processes of consciousness. As a result, thought processes are stimulated and memory improves. Whether or not your students improve, you are guaranteed to draw attention to your subject and your lessons!

Most of today's children are visuals. Judge for yourself how much time they spend in front of TV screens, computers, phones and tablets? It turns out that having entered the classroom and being forced to leave all these means of modern communication and entertainment, students instantly lose interest in life, thinking only about the moment when they can again return to their beloved Youtube, Vkontakte, Viber and Instagram. Try to trick their thinking a little.

Start the lesson with a video, music video, short film, or TV clip that relates to the topic of the lesson, and then ask questions or write them on the board ahead of time. You can also record a video address to your students (let the laboratory assistant or any other teacher or high school student turn it on, and you will enter after it ends). General surprise and interest will be guaranteed. This approach will help to focus the attention of students on the topic under study and better learn the material.

From time to time change the arrangement of desks in the classroom. The trick is that a lot of things children quickly get bored. Agree, over time, the school for students becomes something familiar and ordinary, children already know a lot about the local routine, rules and classroom environment, so they enter a certain comfort zone and become lazier. Shake 'em up! Move the desks so that they stand in pairs on one day, in groups of 3-4 on the next, in a circle on the third, and so on. You can easily involve the students themselves in this, so as not to do it on their own (the boys will only be happy with such activity).

You can also associate your permutations with a specific class activity. Thus, the students will involuntarily think about what their teacher has prepared for them this time, and this will contribute to a deeper involvement of the children in the work process and the formation of interest in the subject. Do not be too lazy to do such a trick and you will see how, at first glance, a completely non-standard solution can help you unlock the educational potential of your students.

Like the previous one, this tip also applies to “shaking”. Pupils know very well that after the call and the call to sit down at their desks, a command will follow to get textbooks, notebooks and write down “number, class work” in them. Surprise them! Offer to put all class supplies in their briefcases and leave a clean desk in front of you. The children's curiosity will increase and they will wait with interest to see what will happen next. And then you can start the lesson with a controversial statement related to the topic of the lesson. This will make the children dive deeply into the topic being studied.

Good luck in all your endeavors, Have a good mood and energy for new achievements, dear colleagues!

Word to you:

In your opinion, is it really possible to set up silence and efficiency in the first 5 minutes of the lesson?

Master class progress:

Preparatory - organizational

Hello children. We all really like our crafts, photos. But everyone probably had old disks?

I also have a lot of them lying idle, but I would like to decorate. And I had an idea to decorate them, and what are we going to do, let's guess the riddle:

Day and night they go.

Never get tired.

Whisper monotonously to the beat:

Tick ​​tock, tick tock.

Arrows, like a mustache.

Are called…

Well done boys!

Welcome.

Yes

Clock

Main part

That's right, guys, now we will make watches from a disk with you. Now let's proceed to the design of our crafts from CD disks with our own hands. The outer part of the alarm clock will be shiny, in a circle we need to glue the squares with numbers, placing them like on a regular dial. To the back surface, in the middle, we need to glue a larger circle that will help us attach the arrows.
Please note that the arrows must be movable, so they cannot be glued. We will attach the arrows to a push pin and they can be rotated to show the time on the alarm clock. From the outside, you must also glue a cardboard circle, but smaller, and stick an arrow button in the middle. It is best for arrows to choose a denser material than ordinary office paper, for example, cut them out of whatman paper or thin cardboard. From above it is necessary to glue the cut-out detail of the “bell cup” on the reverse side, and from below it is necessary to fix the cardboard stand, after making two cuts in it and bending it. Now you need to insert a CD into these slots, and our alarm clock is ready, you can start classes or games.

"Teaching a child to count in 5 minutes." Guidelines for parents

What do you think can be done in 5 minutes?

For example, an airplane, for 5 minutes covers a distance of about 67 km. Despite the fact that a person is not able to develop such a speed, he can do very much during this time. much: prepare a light breakfast, view e-mail, do exercises and many more interesting and useful things.

In this article I want to talk about how you can develop mathematical ability at baby in just 5 minutes without special tools and knowledge. To small child successfully mastered the first mathematical concepts and acquired the necessary skills for further study at school, an adult needs to clearly know: what exactly do you want to teach child at the moment.

Many mistakenly believe that mathematical ability is the knowledge of numbers and the ability to think. This is far from true. Often in my practice I encounter such examples: “My Andryusha is already counts up to 10» - says the mother of a three-year-old boy. However, if you give Andryusha 5 dice and ask: "How many cubes do you have?", then the boy cannot give the correct answer (the final number, because he does not own a quantitative account, but simply reproduces the name of the numbers in direct order. In other words, when Andryusha « counts up to 10» , then it simply reproduces the text as a poem without rhyme. Such "memorization" further leads to difficulties in mastering the ordinal and quantitative account. This is found in the following moments: "Andryusha, put 3 cars in the garage". Child performs the task incorrectly - puts a different amount. To kid, who does not own a quantitative account, it will also be difficult to answer question: “Tell me, how many apples are in the basket?”. In order for the baby to know this, you need apples. count(express the amount items number, i.e. you need to perform certain actions. At an early age it will be a certain process - child takes one apple from the basket, calls the number "one", postpones it. Further with all other apples. In senior preschool age child this action will be performed using visual perception based on previously acquired skills.

When learning child early age mathematical concepts must be observed several conditions:

1. Training to be carried out in the form of a game;

2. Observe the sequence of entering concepts;

3. Conduct classes systematically.

How to teach your toddler to count in 5 minutes? This is where finger games will help you. For example,

child on the right hand or touch each finger with your own, starting with the thumb)

One two three four five -

(for every word you bend your finger child on the left hand or touch each finger with your own, starting with the thumb)

Fingers will play.

(squeezing and unclenching fingers)

Run along the path

(fingers "run" on the table or knees)

And found their toys:

(put your fingers together child in a fist)

one plane,

(starting with big "open" one finger child)

two helicopters,

("open" forefinger child)

three rattles,

("open" middle finger child)

four crackers,

("open" ring finger)

Five fluffy bunnies.

("open" little finger, show the whole palm)

They stand right next to each other.

One elephant is next to them,

(on the other hand "open" thumb)

Two funny ducklings

("open" forefinger child)

Three kittens are next to them,

("open" middle finger child)

And four more books

("open" ring finger)

And behind them are five monkeys.

One two three four five.

(at the same time bend your fingers baby in both arms, starting with large)

(clenching and unclenching fingers into a fist)

This game should be played gradually. For kids, the first four lines are enough. For 2 years, first learn the exercises on one hand, and then on the other.

Learning to count quantitatively can be done not only at home. This can be done everywhere, the main thing is to comply with the conditions.

For example, you are going for a walk and tell to kid that toys also want to walk. Let be the child chooses what he wants to take. If a child will bring a lot of toys, then together with him select the right amount: “Today we can take only two toys - a bucket and a scoop - these are two toys; a doll and a teddy bear are two toys.” Take the named toys aside and fix the baby's attention on the number - these are two toys. Suggest to kid take the required amount. When the baby learns to count within two, he moves on to the next number.

In the sandbox, you can consolidate what you started Houses: “Today is Bear's birthday. The Bunny will come to him. There will be two of them. Therefore, it is necessary to make two cakes.

In autumn, you can teach quantitative counting by analogy using the collection leaves: “Look what a beautiful leaf I found. He is sad alone. Let's find another one of the same, and we will have two leaves ... Now we have two leaves.

Acquaintance with numbers begin only when child will master the quantitative account, i.e., it will be correct to answer the question "How much?".

As you can see, it's not hard to teach. count the child and requires no more than 5 minutes.
