Productivity is defined as executing work to achieve results, technically it is expressed as the ratio of input to achieve the desired output, often used in production processes. Nowadays it can also be used a measure of an employee's work ethic.

Being productive is not the same as being busy. It is quite possible to look busy and not be productive at all! The outcomes or results from the person are the measures of productivity. Organisations are focused on productivity because they would like to gain more output from each employee.

Employee productivity is often linked to employee happiness and engagement. If a person is able to accomplish work more effectively and efficiently, with tools and support at their disposal, they feel they have added value and accomplished something with their day. Consequent rewards, recognition, and advancement opportunity will thereby increase employee happiness.

If you are more creative in the morning, schedule work during that time, if you have a large or difficult task to complete, get it off your desk first thing. The feeling of control and accomplishment will then drive you through the rest of the day. Consider setting up small rewards for each large task you complete.
