The best way to improve productivity and efficiency in a technological environment is by using easy-to-use technological plug-ins and devices that can automate certain tasks such as managing emails, scheduling appointments, cleaning out your inbox or reminding you of important dates and events. These tools help you streamline your day-to-day activities and reach your final goals in a timely and hassle-free manner.
Technology is an umbrella term that covers a broad range of tools and machines, from simple stone tools to complex nuclear spaceships. It also includes virtual technologies such as computer software and business processes. However, there is one feature of all technologies that distinguishes them from other non-technological entities: they are designed to solve real-world problems.
Why I Refuse to Let Technology Control Me
Ultimately, it is up to us to decide how and when we use technology. It is okay to use technology to pass the time if we are deriving joy from the activity; however, it is not ok to spend the majority of our time mindlessly scrolling through social media, or even playing video games. If we want to be productive, it is time for us to set limits on how much we use technology and decide what our priorities are. It may take a lot of self-control, but the reward is that we can take back our time and focus on what matters most to us.
