Productivity Boost and You
Every day the world seems to spin faster and faster. You get into line at Starbucks and order your latte a half hour before work. You’ve ripped open your first interoffice e-mail before you sit down to write. You know you can tidy up tasks faster than summer turns to fall. When fall arrives you always seem to perform better, smarter, and all around faster. There’s a good reason why. Courtesy of the U.S. educational system.

You are more likely to perform better in the fall because there is a good chance you have been conditioned that way. Autumn happens to be when postsecondary and public and private institutions see their enrollment numbers increase. It’s also a season when workforces see increased project productivity. You can boost your productivity every fall with 3 easy steps. First, here’s how the American educational system stacks up traditional 21st century fall enrollment.
Enrollment don’t lie
The National Education Center for National Statistics projected its findings on national enrollment in public, private, and postsecondary institutions. Americans are predicted to choose higher learning in droves. Student enrollment increased 52 percent across four years between 2001 and 1996. The NECNS projects students who are 18 to 24 years will top-up enrollment 10 percent more between 2010 and 2021.
Students who are 25 to 34 years and enroll in a degree-oriented institution increased 52 percent. The same demographic is expected to rise another 10 percent between 2010 and 2021.
Enrollment by students who are 35 years or greater rose 45 percent between 1996 and 2010. The median enrollee age is 35 or greater and enrollee participation is expected to bulk up an extra 20 percent by 2021. Recall when education began every August to September in the U.S. school system? How likely is it you’ve performed strongest when you were immersed within educational stimuli?

You were likely preprogrammed to perfect smarter, better, and faster through early education.
Smarter than you think
Laptops, PCs, smartphones, and e-reader devices feature the technology that make you smarter. You can speak into your Amazon Fire platform and search content with a few commands. The GPS in your mobile phone points out which roadway you should take to beat the boss to the office when you’re running late. (You remembered to use the calendar reminder function to wake you for just such an occasion.) You can take a 1000 page document and reduce it to mere bytes of information using the latest OCR technology found in various PDF programs. Technology helps you bamboozle your friends with your mad video posting skills and iPad streaming flicks prowess.
The same devices you use to fortify your geek-dom can further your productivity with real world applications. If you haven’t found a way to streamline your projects and tasks, you can boost up your productivity every fall with 3 easy steps.
