Have you been feeling like you’re just not getting enough done? Then you need this holiday.

Or, if you’ve been nailing your to-do lists like a champ, then you can use this day to celebrate your achievements.

Either way, it’s World Productivity Day.

Scroll down for some ideas on celebrating this unofficially fulfilling holiday.

How to Celebrate World Productivity Day

Individuals

Be productive! Reward yourself for being productive. Because rewards lead to wanting more rewards. And if you need to be productive to get the rewards … well you get the idea.

Of course, some days being productive is just hard!

So learn some productivity hacks. You can find a ton of ideas online:

• 10 Productivity Hacks: A list of tips compiled just for World Productivity Day.
• 12 Tips for Increasing Productivity: Most of the ideas in this post from Forbes are common sense, but sometimes you just need a reminder of where the biggest time-wasters lie.
• 10 Morning Tips to increase your Productivity: Some interesting tips from a doctor.
• The 5 Psychological Theories of Motivation to Increase Productivity: Get inside your own head to figure out why you’re not productive and what motivates you.

You can also find books about productivity:

• Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, by David Allen
• The 5 Choices: The Path to Extraordinary Productivity, by Kory Kogon
• Manage Your Day-to-Day: Build Your Routine, Find Your Focus, and Sharpen Your Creative Mind, by Jocelyn K. Glei

But beware: Spending the day reading about productivity instead of being productive is … Well, not very productive!

So maybe don’t just sit down and read an entire book to celebrate productivity. Pick one or two tricks to implement and see how they work for you. Not everyone works in the same way, so what works for others may not always work for you.

Companies

If you sell software or other solutions for getting things done easier and faster, promote them for this day:

• Have a one-day discount.
• Offer a bonus item or service for buying today.
• Offer a small freebie for checking out your product or service today.

How else might you promote a productivity-enhancing product or service?
