26 Things Successful People Do To Increase Their Productivity at Work
It seems like more and more companies are adopting the motto "do more with less".
So where does that leave you?
Scrambling to complete deadlines, wearing 18 different hats, answering the slew of emails and phone calls… you get the point.
The goal of this post is to help you find ways for you and your team to increase productivity at work. Instead of trying to do a bunch of these at once, find a couple that you can implement for at least 21 days (the time it typically takes to form a new habit).
Free bonus: Download this entire list as a PDF. Easily save it on your computer for quick reference or print it and keep at your desk. Includes 5 bonus ideas not found in this post.
1. List your "crucial results" for the day
Crucial results are a list of objectives that absolutely need to be accomplished during your day to move your projects and goals forward. Create a spreadsheet listing your top 3 crucials for each day. This will help you plan each day and make sure you're maintaining focus on the most important tasks each day.
2. Use tools to make your life easier and help you work more efficiently
There's a lot of technology being developed to help you organize your life, use your time effectively, and make your life easier. Here's a couple to try out that can help you increase your productivity at work:
Time Doctor's time tracking software helps teams be more productive. By running in the background on your team's computer, you'll be able to see high level and granular reports about how your team spends their day. You'll see which apps and websites they use while working. When team members begin to spend too much time on black listed sites, Time Doctor gives them a friendly reminder to get back on track.
Boomerang is an app that works with your Gmail to help you take control of your inbox. The main feature of this tool is the ability to schedule the exact date and time to send out an email. You can also "boomerang" an email to come back to the top of your inbox if you don't get a response within a specific time frame after sending a message.
Have you ever wondered exactly how much time you're spending on important vs. non-important things throughout your day? RescueTime is the answer. It runs in the background of your computer and mobile devices to track the amount of time you spend on applications and websites. At the end of the week (or whatever time-frame you prefer) you receive a detailed report that breaks down where you've been spending your time.
Evernote is a digital notepad. It syncs with the cloud so that you can access your notes from your computer or mobile app. You can also save pictures and voice-recorded messages as notes.
15Five is a tool that allows you to easily get feedback from the people you manage. You create a list of questions that takes members of your team about 15 minutes to complete each week and takes managers about 5 minutes to review and provide feedback (hence the name). We use it at our company and we've found it to be a great way to get weekly engagement between team members and their direct reports.
If you haven't heard of StayFocusd, you're probably still getting lost down rabbit holes on the internet. It's an extension that lets you limit access to the websites that you use to distract yourself, keeping you dialed in for important tasks.
Todoist is exactly what it sounds like and so much more, a to-do list chrome extension that's packed with helpful features like setting deadlines, recurring project reminders and easy labeling to keep you organized.
3. Eat healthy foods throughout the day to avoid energy crashes and keep your brain properly fueled
The food we eat is extremely important in boosting our brainpower and impacting how productive we are at work.
Imagine you eat a Snickers bar versus a fruit and nut bar – which do you think is going to give you the energy necessary to finish strong through the afternoon? Junk food not only affects your weight. It also causes decreased productivity and energy crashes.
Here's SnackNation CEO Sean Kelly breaking down some quick ways you can turn a healthy snack into a meal:
Keep healthy snacks at your office to stay fueled for a productive day.
4. Complete tasks in batches
Tim Ferris, author of the international best seller The 4 Hour Work Week, is extremely good at finding ways to be more efficient in everything from work to cooking to bodybuilding.
One of my favorite insights from his book is how much more efficient it is to batch your activities instead of breaking them up into small chunks.
The logic behind this is that it takes time for you to get into a rhythm with whatever you're working on. If you constantly start and stop that process, you're wasting time getting back into your rhythm or catching up to where you left off.
How can you use this in your day-to-day life to improve productivity at work?
- Instead of spreading out data entry and reporting tasks throughout the week, set a block of time to knock it all out at once
- Set meetings with colleagues back to back in the afternoon
- Use the "2-Minute Rule" to knock out small tasks and beat procrastination
- Work in 90-minute increments
- Answer voicemails for a chunk of time in the afternoon
5. Conquer procrastination with the "2-Minute Rule"
The "2-Minute Rule" seems simple enough, but it's a tactic that works to perpetuate a system of productivity.
Often interpreted as completing any task you think of that should take 2 minutes or less right away, the 2-minute rule can kill productivity if you take it at face value and don't carefully implement it.
To use the 2-minute rule successfully, you should schedule time to get your to-do list for the day in order. While building this list, you should find that there are some small tasks that seem like they can be done in a couple of minutes. Do them!
Always make sure to come back to your list and finish it, though. Don't get bogged down in these small tasks and let them derail your day by taking up more time than they should.
6. Get moving!
Exercise is not only important for the body, it is almost as important for your mental wellbeing. According to this article from Brain HQ, exercising has been shown to reduce stress hormones while also increasing growth factors in the brain necessary for new neuronal connections.
I've personally switched back and forth between exercising in the morning versus at night and I typically find that it works better for me earlier in the day. The motivation to go to the gym after a really long day is hard to find. However, the important thing is that you are consistent with your exercise.
7. Morning huddles with your team
This point made the list of employee wellness ideas for offices, but it's also worth mentioning again here. Each morning, huddle together with your team for about 15 minutes and go over each person's main crucial results for the day. This helps everyone get on the same page and lets people know where their assistance is needed.
And if you're finding it difficult to dedicate the time to this, sit down with individual members of your team to go over lessons from the previous week and set expectations and goals for the week on Monday.
Here at SnackNation we call them DR's. Each of our managers meets with their team members to strategize how to best accomplish their goals.Work Productivity Tip #7: Each morning, huddle together with your team for about 15 minutes Click To Tweet
8. Prioritize your most important tasks first
Stephen Covey's book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, there's a chapter dedicated to a subject he calls putting "first things first". There's a great analogy of this concept using rocks and a bucket. Here's a video that illustrates this concept from the book:
9. Put your phone on silent
Corresponding through social media, text messages, making phone calls and emailing, ranks as the 4th biggest workplace distraction behind food and bathroom breaks, and talking with coworkers.
Have you ever been in state of flow where you're completely focused on the task at hand when your phone beeps or buzzes and gets you sidetracked? I think we've all experienced that.
Remove the distractions by silencing your phone, exiting out of chat applications and closing the inbox before you start any important task where complete focus is necessary.
10. Is that meeting really necessary?
Have you ever walked out of a business meeting and realized that it was a complete waste of time? You'd be lying if you said no. HR consultant Sharlyn Lauby of HR Bartender agrees:
"One of the biggest obstacles to productivity is business meetings. That being said, I do not think the answer is to abolish meetings or create funky rules like 'no meeting Wednesdays' or 'only 10 minute meetings'. Organizations need to give employees the tools to run effective and productive meetings."
So how can you do that? Make sure there is a set agenda and goal for each meeting.
No agenda and goal, no meeting. Also respect participants' time! A one-hour meeting should only take one hour. If you end early, that's cool. But don't run late.
For more ideas on how to have more efficient and impactful meetings, check out this infographic from our friends at Taskworld.
Follow this simple flow chart to determine if you're ready to schedule a meeting or just wasting time:

11. Get out of the office
Working remotely can help you increase your productivity by getting more done in less time.
While the office is an environment that can foster collective energy and resources, it can also hinder our productivity. People often interrupt others who are in the middle of work because they think their issue or question is urgent.
In reality, their issue is typically not urgent and can wait.
This study by the Harvard Business Review found that employees who worked from home were more productive AND less likely to quit their jobs.
If you don't have the opportunity to work remotely, like 56% of the respondents to our 2017 State of Workplace Culture Report, try to get away from your desk for a brief change of scenery.
12. De-clutter and organize your work environment
There's a lot to be said about how much organization and less "stuff" can decrease your anxiety, thereby increasing productivity.
Having less clutter will help you think more clearly and waste less time searching for that misplaced document.
Toss out the trinkets and old papers sitting around your desk to see if it helps you become less distracted and more productive.

13. Visualize next week this week with the "2-Hour Solution"
The "2-Hour Solution" was created by Roger Seip, author of Train Your Brain for Success.
It's a method of spending 2 hours each week for the purpose of mentally creating the next week of your life. Roger swears by this method and claims that when he does this, his life goes well.
Use this time each week to reconnect with your goals, assess what has been working and what has not, and schedule your calendar for the upcoming week.
How does this differ from normal scheduling?
You schedule your "green time" (the work that gets you paid), "red time" (the time that supports your green time), "flex time" (unblocked time to prevent the unplanned from unraveling your plans), and "re-creation time" (the time to take care of yourself – i.e. hobbies, exercise, relaxing, etc). Most of the time you'll find that you don't even need the full 2 hours to make this effective.
For more on the 2-Hour Solution, you can read this short book summary.
14. Wake up early
Look at every top CEO, executive or leader and you'll find they all have 1 major thing in common – they wake up early. How can waking up at 6am or earlier make you more productive at work?
It gives you the time you need to start your day right. Instead of feeling rushed out of the door each morning, you'll have more quiet time to do things you would otherwise be too distracted to do.
You can read each morning, eat a healthy breakfast, or exercise before hitting your stride to start the day. I started doing this about a year ago and it has increased my productivity dramatically.
I typically find that I hit my most productive groove about 2 hrs after waking up. So now I get to read something inspiring or surf at dawn before most people even start their day. Then when I get to work, I'm ready to hit the ground running.
15. Stand more
Feeling a little sleepy around 3pm? Stand up! Is your posture starting to wane? Stand up! Do you notice that your team is having trouble staying focused in meetings? Stand up!
It's simple, but it's effective. At SnackNation our team members swear by their standing desks and the documented impact they have on productivity.
While standing at your desk doesn't burn a significant amount of calories more than sitting, it can help diminish other health risks, like:
- shoulder and back pain
- obesity
- diabetes
- cardiovascular disease
- cancer (especially cancers of the colon or breast)
- premature death
And like most things out there, too much standing can be a bad thing. When you're starting out try to have your standing periods coincide with your 90-minute work intervals.Work Productivity Tip #15: Stand more Click To Tweet
16. Learn to say no
Throughout your day, people will inevitably disrupt you to get your help or input on something. It's so easy to say yes and take on more things, but this is counterproductive. Learn to say no more often to guard your time for your highest leverage activities.
Saying "no" to something is easier said than done, but there are ways to achieve to that end without coming across as combative or crass.
When someone comes to you with a request that you need to say no to, simply ask them to give you 15 minutes (or some arbitrary interval of time) to finish what you're working on then by the time you come around to find out what they wanted, they'll often have figured it out on their own.
17. Eat the frog
At SnackNation, we use 9am-10am as "Crush" time.
During this time, we get our most challenging tasks out of the way and don't disturb one another with questions. Whichever activity you are dreading the most is probably the one you need to complete first thing in the morning.
Once you get started, you'll quickly find your flow and get that task out of the way.
18. Focus on one thing at a time
You've undoubtedly heard that multitasking is detrimental for productivity at work. Too many people fall victim to the trap of doing several things at once so it bears repeating here to help you increase your productivity.
Multitasking lowers IQ and reduces the performance with which you can complete any task. So would you rather do 3 things with mediocre results or 1 task with excellent results?
19. Delegate like a boss
Do you ever find yourself wondering how you're possibly going to complete all the work on your plate?
I'm willing to bet there are some low value tasks that you could outsource. Things like data-entry, document formatting or running errands are all going to eat away at the precious time you have during your day to get stuff done.
Luckily there are some great online services that connect you with cheap labor to get tedious tasks done so you can spend your time focusing on the most important projects.
Check out Taskrabbit, oDesk, Fiverr and Elance to see if there's something you could be outsourcing.
20. Wear headphone
Working in a high collaboration environment can mean that people come up to you with questions all throughout the day, throwing you off of your rhythm.
Wearing headphones is a simple trick that can ward off questions that are either too menial or too complex to be answered in a face-to-face interaction. To disturb someone, at the very least, your colleague will have to have at the very least thought through the question in the moment it takes them to consider whether it's worth the disturbance.
You don't even have to be listening to music. Headphones on their own are a deterrent and help filter your communications in real life.
21. Give yourself less time than you think you'll need
This is another piece of gold from Train Your Brain for Success. However long you think it will take you to complete a project or task, give yourself less time to complete it. You'll find that giving yourself a deadline will keep you more focused to get the job done.
22. Read in the morning
Most people don't wake up super energized feeling inspired and excited to take on their day.
One of the best ways I've found to get my mindset in the right place to be productive at work is to read for about 15-30 minutes before I start my day.
Books on business, psychology, behavioral economics and personal development are the subjects that I personally find to boost my creativity and inspiration for my day.

23. Protect the time in your schedule to get real work done
We all have those days that fly by as we jump from meeting to meeting. At the end of the day, we come to realize that we didn't actually get any work done. How can you make sure you're as productive as possible each day?
Steve Boese, host of the popular HR Happy Hour podcast, has this advice for you:
Work Productivity Tip #23: Protect the time in your schedule to get real work done Click To Tweet
"One sure fire way to improve your work productivity is to make sure you protect enough time in your schedule, in other words, time that is not in meetings, conference calls, or any other activity that is not conducive to thinking, planning, and creating. Lots of us will book back-to-back-to-back meetings in a day, then all of a sudden it's 6:00PM and we feel like we did not accomplish much at all. So protect your time, keep your most productive times meeting-free if you can, and even consider designating one afternoon, or even an entire day if you can, as a 'meeting-free' zone where you can dig in, concentrate, and get some 'real' work done."
24. Listen to calming sounds to help you concentrate
Sometimes a bit of music in the background can help enhance your focus.
Studies show that music without lyrics works best for repetitive tasks. Outside of the variable effects, music can also have an impact on shutting on the sounds and distractions of a noisy workplace.
I personally enjoy the calming sounds I find on Noisli.
25. Treat yourself to motivate yourself
While most of us may do this naturally, it's a very effective way of managing your habits and productivity.
When you incorporate rewards into your productivity system it helps train your brain to focus on goal-oriented tasks by tapping into your emotions. The reward you give yourself after completing something on your to-do list makes you feel good.
Simply put, people who are happy or feel good are more productive than those that don't.
26. Replicate the body's natural cycle
Jamie Lawrence, Editor for HRZone, recommends replicating the body's natural cycle to boost productivity at work:
"Replicating the body's natural cycle in office environments is a fundamental, but often ignored, part of improving wellbeing. So, is the lighting full spectrum? Do you keep blinds and windows open to ensure there's natural light and air circulating? Plants are another well-researched way to improve air quality and mood – they kill two birds with one stone."

With only so many hours in a day we must learn to work more effectively and efficiently if we want to succeed. Now take some of these tips and implement them in your working life.

On January 24th 2014 Yoko Ono's Imagine Peace exhibition opened at the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery in Fort Myers. The Bob Rauschenberg Gallery is located on the Edison State College campus which is located about 8 miles south of downtown Fort Myers off of Hwy 41. In this humble setting ( with an incredible history ) hundreds of art lovers and pop culture lovers gathered for the reception of Yoko Ono's presentation. Ono calls her works "scores" for people to perform, just like music, so all of the work in this exhibition is participatory. And people LOVE it! The opening reception was charged with positive energy and active participation on a scale rarely seen in an event that allows people to just explore the nature of the art. With Yoko Ono's art there is no hesitation in the observers, it as if they understand exactly what to do with no prompting and have fun doing it.
Playing It By Trust is a large chess board with instructions to play your opponent as long as you can remember who your opponent is.
Wish Tree is an ongoing work in which live trees are presented to the public in order that they should hang written wishes on the branches. The wishes are collected and sent to Yoko Ono's Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland. At the Imagine Peace Tower the wishes are then archived in or placed at its base. There are 3 Edison State College Students who will be traveling to Reykjavik, Iceland to hand deliver the wishes generated at this exhibition after its conclusion.
Pieces of a Light House
For the Imagine Peace exhibition a new work- Mend Piece was created by Yoko Ono which involved ceramic globes being broken and then glued back together by people attending the exhibition.
I am proud to say that I helped in the production/fabrication of this work by making the molds and troubleshooting the casting materials. The activity of mending the ceramics was a big hit at the opening. I have provided a short video from the night of the opening.
A total of 12 globes were produced for the exhibition with the help of Cesar Cornejo (from MoCA/Puno), John Byrd, Matthew Wicks, Jennifer Miller and myself.
The exhibition itself was brought to Fort Myers by Jade Dellinger (Director of Exhibitions & Collections for the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery) and curators Kevin Concannon and John Noga. I must also mention that the works of art by Yoko Ono are not constrained to the gallery. There is a billboard piece on Hwy 41.

Peary and the Pole: Approaching Centennial, How College Celebrated Expedition's 50th
Story posted February 24, 2009
On April 6, 2009, Bowdoin and the world will celebrate the centennial of Robert E. Peary's historic attainment of the North Pole.
Back in 1959, the College commemorated the expedition's 50th anniversary by offering the Bowdoin Community a unique perspective — that of Peary's family.
Editions of the Bowdoin Orient from April and May of 1959 chronicle a series of lectures that included Peary's daughter Marie Peary Stafford and his grandson Commander Edward Peary Stafford.
The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives has a printed program of the lectures detailing each of the talks.
The program says Commander Stafford "has spent a good deal of time in the Northland made famous by his grandfather," and says that television viewers may remember his appearance on a quiz show in 1957, on which he won $64,000.
Peary the Gifted Student Rebel
"Reaching for the Pole: An Exhibition Celebrating the Centennial of Peary's North Pole Expedition," currently on view on the second floor of Hawthorne-Longfellow Library, shares another side of the accomplished Arctic explorer.
Stafford's talk, "Aviation in the Arctic" was reviewed in the April 29, 1959, edition of the Orient, which notes "Commander Stafford was received with enthusiasm by the public, although the student body did not seem to show too great an interest."
Marie Peary Stafford, who was given an honorary degree in 1949, spoke of her father's trip to the North Pole.
According to the program she was born in Greenland at 77° 44' N. Latitude within the Arctic Circle and "holds the distinction of being the most northerly born white child in the world."
A third lecture was given by Commander William Robert Anderson.
"As commanding officer of the U.S.S. Nautilus," the program reads, "he made history's first undersea voyage across the top of the world, a distance of 1,830 miles under the polar icecap."
The U.S. Postal Service celebrated both Peary's and Anderson's achievements by literally piggybacking them on a postage stamp.
The top half of the stamp featured a man and his dog-drawn sled; the bottom showed a picture of the Nautilus.
The April 1959 Bowdoin Alumnus states "the College has been making extensive use, in recent mailings, of the four-cent blue postage stamp, commemorating Arctic exploration, dated 1909 and 1959, and first issued from Peary's birthplace, Cresson, Pa., on April 6, 1959."
The lectures on campus in 1959 were accompanied by a small exhibition. The program notes that "a collection of valuable Arctic gifts" from the family of Admiral Peary, Admiral Donald MacMillan and other friends of the College was on display in the Searles Science Building.
Fifty years later, the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum is in centennial celebration mode, having staged the exhibition Northward Over the Great Ice: Robert E. Peary and the Quest for the North Pole, which brings together nearly 300 rare objects and photographs — many never before publicly shown.
An interdisciplinary series of lectures will be held on campus throughout the spring of 2009. Activities for children, families, and alumni on Bowdoin's campus — as well as a number of ancillary programs at Maine partner institutions such as the Maine Women Writers Collection at the University of New England and the Osher Map Library on the University of Southern Maine campus — will be ongoing throughout the run of the exhibition.

ABC has continued its stranglehold on the New Year's Eve ratings race, dominating again last week even though NBC's festivities also found an audience.
Nielsen overnights for Thursday show "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" on ABC averaged an 8.7 household rating/21 share from 11:30 p.m. to 1:15 a.m., up 2% from last year's 8.5/20. The Alphabet's extravaganza, again co-hosted by Clark and Ryan Seacrest, featured musical guests including Jennifer Lopez and Daughtry.
Clark has served as host of "Rockin' Eve" every year since the show debuted in 1972, while Seacrest has been aboard as well for the past six years.
At NBC, "New Year's Eve With Carson Daly" averaged a 5.2/12 in overnight households — also up slightly vs. last year (5.0/11) and better than the show's five prior annual telecasts. The Peacock noted that preliminaries also show the telecast earning its best demo scores to date.
Fox's "Billboard's New Year's Eve Live" earned a 2.7/6 in the overnights (down 21% from last year's 3.4/7), and CBS went with a repeat of "The Late Show With David Letterman" (2.4/5, off a tick from last year's 2.5/5).
Overall viewer estimates for New Year's Eve won't be available until the end of the week.

It all came down to the last play for these Super Bowl champion New York Giants.
This was a three-hour drama that was begging for an encore as the Bears and their Eastern Conference nemesis performed brilliantly on a hot, humid Sunday afternoon.
It all came down to the last play for these Super Bowl champion New York Giants.
This was a three-hour drama that was begging for an encore as the Bears and their Eastern Conference nemesis performed brilliantly on a hot, humid Sunday afternoon.
The Giants trailed 20-17 with 15 seconds left when kicker Matt Bahr attempted a 35-yard field goal that would`ve brought overtime.
The snap from center Steve DeOssie was right on target. On one knee, quarterback Jeff Hostetler placed it down smoothly. Bahr, one of the best at quick liftoffs, hit the football at what he thought was the sweet spot.
Then, he heard it. So did Hostetler. It was a sickening slap as William Perry got a piece of his enormous body on the ball to preserve the 20-17 Bears` victory.
``It seemed like a good operation, good timing on it, and I felt I struck the ball well,`` said a disconsolate Bahr in a restrained locker room heavy on muted tones. ``We knew they had a strong inside rush; that`s where it came from. They put their big guys (6-foot-2-inch, 350-pound Perry and 6-7, 305-pound James Williams) up the middle. Of all the things you think is going to happen, that`s the last one.``
Probably because a lot had already happened to Bahr. He hit a ``good ball that misses`` in a second-quarter field-goal attempt from 43 yards. Next, he hit a ``bad ball that goes through`` in the third quarter from 35 yards out. You could see he still hadn`t figured out the confusing, treacherous Soldier Field crosswinds that were swirling about at 17 m.p.h.
``I wasn`t looking up, so I don`t know if the kick was low,`` Bahr said.
``This is a disappointing loss. We make a good comeback, make a run at it-and then this happens.``
The Giants have not beaten the Bears in Chicago since 1962.
``In the second half, I really thought we were going to run them out of the stadium once we got the lead,`` said cornerback Everson Walls. The Giants closed to 13-10 on Bahr`s 35-yard field goal, which hit the left upright and fell through, and Rodney Hampton`s 6-yard touchdown run. Hampton`s 3-yard TD run gave them a 17-13 lead early in the fourth quarter.
The field goal was set up by cornerback Mark Collins` recovery of Neal Anderson`s fumble and the first touchdown by a Maury Buford punt that traveled 24 yards.
Collins seemed to be involved in practically every big play. Along with the recovered fumble, he intercepted a Jim Harbaugh pass, was burned by Wendell Davis on a 75-yard TD and was the Giant who tried to force Anderson out of bounds on the 42-yard game-winning touchdown dash.
Anderson was originally called out of bounds at the 5-yard line on his scoring run, but replay officials overruled the field officials and called it a touchdown.
``That Anderson run turned everything around,`` Walls said. ``We wanted them to work a lot harder, but that one run wiped out all the hard work we had done in the comeback and left us playing catchup.``
The Giants blew a scoring opportunity in the third quarter when a fourth- down Ottis Anderson run from the 1 was stopped by Dante Jones and Tim Ryan.
``The way our defense was playing, I felt confident we could hold them there even if we didn`t score,`` Giants coach Ray Handley said of his costly gamble.
To a man, the Giants figured they were better than the Bears in every category except the final score.
``I thought we outplayed them overall,`` Handley said. ``I don`t think our quarterback was the reason for the loss. We`ll have to do more in-depth analysis of it tomorrow, but I really don`t anticipate a quarterback change at the present time.``

Release Notes for Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 9.0
This document contains the following topics:
•Obtaining Documentation, Obtaining Support, and Security Guidelines
Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager (Prime UOM) is a member of the Cisco Unified Communications family of products. Prime UOM enables you to monitor Cisco Unified Communications deployments. It monitors and evaluates the current status of both the IP communications infrastructure and the underlying transport infrastructure in your network.
Prime UOM uses open interfaces such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and HTTP to remotely poll data from different devices in the IP communications deployment.
Note Prime UOM does not deploy any agent software on the devices being monitored and therefore is not disruptive to system operations.
Prime UOM increases productivity of network managers by enabling them to isolate problems quickly using:
•UC Opsview—Provides an integrated view of UC endpoint and network infrastructure health that aids in navigation to fix operational issues before the end user notices them.
•Fault Monitor—Access to device views, event summaries, device and event details, as well as access to other management tools on devices, clusters, and phones. This component makes navigating fault management easier and allows you to quickly view relevant information. You can set the context views based on site or device group.
•Service Level View—Displays a logical topology view of your IP telephony implementation. This logical view focuses on the cluster call control relationships.
•Diagnostics—Access to key diagnostic tools and reports in one location. Distinct monitoring and diagnostic workflow allow you quickly identify network data for analysis.
•Reports—Generates multiple reports such as Event History, Audio IP Phones, Personalized reports, Service Quality History, and Video IP Phones.
•Clickable information in notification messages—Includes context-sensitive links to more detailed information about service outages.
•Context-sensitive links to other Cisco tools—Help you to manage IP communications implementations.
System Requirements
System requirements are documented in the Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 9.0 Installation Guide.
Compatibility information is documented in the Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 9.0 Supported Devices and Interoperable Software Table and the Cisco Prime Unified Service Monitor 9.0 Compatibility Matrix.
For documentation updates after publication, see Cisco.com.

•Support for Windows 2008 R2. See Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 9.0 Installation Guide for more details.
•Provides graphs and reports on route groups utilization to enable you to manage the trunks and route groups better.
•Includes portlets that provide information on server usage, instant messaging usage, conferencing usage, and general information on the Cisco Unified Presence Servers deployed in your network.
•Support for new events related to Cisco Unified Presence Server, Cisco Unified Borderless Element, and Route Groups.
•Support for VG-350 voice gateways. See Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 9.0 Supported Devices and Interoperable Software Table for more details.
•Support for UCC Express Performance Polling. See Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 9.0 Supported Devices and Interoperable Software Table for more details.

Important Notes
The following topics include important information:
•Memory Usage for Multiple Phone Reports
Installation Notes
See the Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 9.0 Installation Guide for details on installation, upgrade/migration, and getting started.
The upgrade paths that have been tested and are supported in Prime UOM 9.0 are:
•Release 8.7 to 9.0
•Release 8.6 to 9.0
The following upgrade paths are not supported:
•Multiple end-customer deployment to Enterprise deployment or vice versa in not supported for any version.
•Direct upgrade from Prime UOM releases earlier than 8.6.
For more information see the following guides:
–Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 8.6 Installation Guide
–Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 8.7 Installation Guide
If you are running Prime UOM 8.7 or 8.6, see Cisco Prime Unified Operations Manager 9.0 Installation Guide for complete details on installation and upgrade procedures.
Note If you run Prime USM on the server with Prime UOM, be sure to review Cisco Prime Unified Service Monitor Release Notes 9.0 before you install Prime UOM.
Memory Usage for Multiple Phone Reports
Depending on the number of records reports, the system can handle only a certain number of large reports that are open at the same time. When a report is closed, the window task manager may not immediately show that the Tomcat memory usage is decreasing. However, it will free up memory for new reports to be opened.
We recommend that you close phone reports after you view them to ensure that system performance is not degraded.

Fishpond is excited and very proud to be joining Patagonia as the only other fly fishing manufacturer certified as a B Corporation. Together with 1300 other companies in 50 countries, we use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. This prestigious designation is awarded to companies that meet higher standards of transparency and accountability for the greater good of society. B Corporations are a diverse community with one unifying goal: to redefine success in business by making our world a better place to live within, not only for humans but for all species. This ultimately means we are legally committed to working for environmental and social benefit, which goes beyond our financial performance as a company.
As we have grown as a brand with our innovative outdoor recreation products, it has become very clear that our mission and goals as a business would be empty of spirit and soul without a clear direction of also creating a company that defined not just our responsibility, but our obligation, to help create a sustainable planet through clean water, healthy habitat and open and wild spaces. To do this we have leveraged our brand position to carry our voice to Washington, and to show by example our commitment to sustainability by using an industry first, recycled, commercial nylon fishing net for our fabrics that is harvested throughout sensitive ocean environments. Over the past five years, Fishpond has started to move all of our products over to recycled materials and into a fabric we have designed and developed called Cyclepond. Through some of our products, we also give back to various non-profit groups with a percentage of our sales. By doing this, the consumer participates with us in doing something positive.
B Corporations' values mirror everything we believe in as a company, and through the B-Lab intensive screening process to get us certified, we have had to define, change and look very hard at every single one of our business practices as well as our commitment to sustainability. Through this, we focus on aligning ourselves with suppliers and consumers that believe in giving back and making the world a better place.
Being certified as a B Corp means we meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance. But it's much more than a stamp of approval. Maintaining our B Corp status continually challenges us to be the company we want to be and to think about how we are affecting the environment, the community, our employees and our consumers. Each assessment means a punch list for improvements, and it forces us to think critically about everything we do. As a company well known for breaking barriers through innovation, Fishpond has now become just as well known for wanting to inspire everyone around us about the importance of our public and open lands and an environment that supports a healthy habitat. If we could just define ourselves with success on this level, we will have reached a goal not defined by the bottom line, but for the goodwill for all.
The Fishpond consumer purchases our product not only for the innovative function and award-winning designs; they buy our products because through their purchase, they also own a piece of the success of our focused collaboration with private sector partners, politicians, scientists and NGO's that are committed to the health of our natural world.
B Corporations compete not just to be the best in the world, but also to be THE BEST FOR THE WORLD. Fishpond embraces the ideals of being a company that embodies a heartbeat and a soul that simply wants to make a difference, not just with our products, but also for the good of our community and planet.
Fishpond looks to the future with a goal of creating a positive difference for our planet by creating innovative products for the outdoor recreation consumer that communicate the importance of healthy species, water and habitat. It's that Simple.
At fishpond, we have a passion for creating products that stretch the boundaries of traditional product design and set new standards for functionality. With our roots firmly planted in our core fishing market, we have expanded our portfolio of products to include several new items targeting the outdoor adventure travel and lifestyle segments.

The City of Chicago hosted Chicago Science in the City, in collaboration with Chicago Public Schools, Chicago 2016 and World Sport Chicago. The one-day interactive and hands-on event was from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Oct. 18, at Malcolm X College, 1900 W. Van Buren St.
The goal of Chicago Science in the City is to capture students' interest and show them how exciting science can be.
A few of the more than 30 fun activities offered were:
Students attending Chicago Science in the City received a "passport" that encouraged them to visit all of the interactive zones throughout the event. Zone organizers "stamped" student passports, after students engaged in activities, demonstrations and lectures offered at each zone. Students showed completed passports at the Chicago 2016 booth for a special take-away.
CPS encouraged science and physical education teachers to discuss the event with students and to provide extra credit for students who attended Chicago Science in the City. CPS also encouraged schools to use the event as an organized school field trip, and offered Continuing Professional Development Units for teachers who attended the event.
A number of Olympians and Paralympians also attended.
