Most people looking to boost their results start by working harder because it's the most visible form of productivity. We assume the solution is to simply put in more hours -- and
that's true, to a point. However, this approach has few key problems. To be productive is the aim of most people; either as business owners, employees, Wives/husbands or as individuals working with our God given talents. Productivity is simply to yield much results with little efforts. Apart from the acquisition of skills or higher degrees, talents can also be engaged for our productivity. The reason why so many people are finding it difficult to yield much results is as a result of ignorance as well as the inability to fully utilize their talents for maximum productivity.

Prior to this time, we've been made to think that talent was all about singing, dancing, acting, drawing, etcetera. But, new knowledge have emerged with facts to back it up that talent goes beyond the aforementioned.

Even in the pursuit of our individual dreams or life purposes, talents can be used to increase our productivity which can in return lead to our happiness and fulfilment. In this article, I want to share with you just three out of the many ways that we can use our God given talents to increase our productivity.

- Find The Talent That Aligns With The Task.

What's that task or situation that you are faced with? There's a talent in you that you can use to solve it. Wisdom in this regard is simply the correct application of the right talent to the right task. For instance, if you want to be productive in how you convert prospects to clients, you should develop your convincing talent or engage someone who has a talent for convincing (sweet mouth). If customers are complaining about your product quality, you will have to develop your talent for perfectionism or excellence if you have it or you could simply employ the service of someone with that talent.

In any area that you want to be more productive at, you should develop a talent that aligns with that.

- Let The Talent Do The Work

Oftentimes, when we try to do things with our own strength, or putting in more efforts with the aim of yielding more results, we oftentimes realize that our end results always come short of our expectations and the expectations of our environment. I have discovered that most times I end up not making sense whenever I try to take the job away from my talents. So, what I always do is to let my talent do the job. Which is why I don't write or give counsel until my talent is ready to do its job. But sometimes, I try to initiate the process for my talent to wake up and takeover but if it still doesn't respond, I let it be. Don't take over the job of your talent, let it do its work.

- Let Your Talent Fix The Time

Sometimes in our quest to get things done, we often become impatient and agitated. We just want things to happen at our own time and pace forgetting the fact that we are not the ones doing the job but our talents.

So many people have resulted to some things that are dangerous to their health all in their quest to get results. You may not be inspired by your talents, but that doesn't mean that something is wrong with you. During the beginning of this month, I planned to double the rate at which I write in order to be productive, but I discovered that I couldn't meet my target. Despite not meeting my target, I discovered that my articles have improved compared to the previous month all because I allowed my talent to dictate the time and speed. Productivity is not a day's job so, allow your talent to determine the speed. You have used your talents long enough, it's time to allow your talents to use you and at its own time and speed.

Succeed You Must!
