We spoke to eight multi-tasking women to learn exactly how they juggle

several roles at once, and get in on their best-kept secrets to stay productive

all day long. By Nitya Kanoria

Archana Jain

Managing Director and CEO,

PR Pundit

As the MD of a PR agency, Archana

has her hands (and hours) full,

managing a 100-member team,

liasoning with clients, and fuelling

PR Pundit’s creative development,

which involves organising campaigns

and building brands. “Sometimes I

feel like I cannot breathe given the

number of roles that I have. I have

learnt to divvy up and organise my

week, and different times, to be able

to play multiple roles.”

MY TIP

“I find it’s easier to start my day early

and tackle things one at a time. Clear

all your e-mails first—it allows you to

focus on your priorities for the rest

of the day. Then during the day, turn

off e-mail notifications as they tend

to distract and break your focus. I

check mine only at periodic intervals.

Lastly, find a time of day when your

performance is at peak. Instead of

labouring through the day tackling

various tasks, I find I am able to

get things done much more quickly

during my peak productivity time.”

Top Productivity

Tricks”
