Now Penny could boost her productivity with a Pina Colada for breakfast...

 

It may sound strange but the office can be a really unproductive place to work. There are too many distractions, too many interruptions, too many people talking, etc. etc. Getting out of the office can really help you to be more productive in several ways:

 

Creatively: taking a break, having a walk and just thinking can open up creative channels. My best ideas happen when I least expect it – usually in the shower or when I’m just sitting contemplating the universe! Not that I encourage you to go and have a shower at work just to get good ideas.

 

Productively: to be truly productive in your work you need to get “in the zone”. To get into the zone you need to eliminate all distractions and focus on the task at hand. Being in the zone is a weird thing, and you will find youself in a supercharged state of mind working at a much higher level of productivity.

 

So when you need to get creative or get productive – get out of the office.
