These are lofty goals, it’s true. But with practical, actionable tips you can get immediate, tangible results. Here’s how:
- Start at the top. Focus on the most important tasks in your day first, then work you’re way down the list.
- Know the “no.” Avoid taking on projects you don’t have time for. If you can say no, do it.
- Focus. Shut out distractions in order to focus on one task or project at a time.
- Start early. It’s easy to procrastinate, but by doing so, you could be subjecting yourself to more stress. Make it your new motto to start projects early.
- Make ‘em habits. If you want to be a writer, you need to write regularly. You can’t create a manageable habit if you don’t engage in the behavior every day. It’s pretty simple to create new skills and make them habits if you commit to utilizing them.
- Set limits. Create a goal in which to complete a task. Instead of saying you’ll work on a project until it’s completed, define the time limit and you’ll end up being more productive and efficient with your time.
- Make a list. Don’t keep your to-do list in your head. You’ll just forget them. Write them down so they can stare at you to keep you accountable.
- Celebrate. When you accomplish a task – whether it’s big or small – celebrate the occasion! It will give you a boost to complete other tasks when you celebrate the milestone of getting stuff done.
- Think before you act. Visualizing how you will get something done before you start the actual work helps you shave off thinking time when it comes to executing the task – all which saves you time.
- The power of threes. Live by this rule: Tackle three things at at time. We live in a world where we can be consumed by multi-tasking – and, in truth, multi-tasking is generally necessary. But when you take off chunks of tasks in threes, you’ll get through the jobs faster and with more efficiency.
- Be a night-writer. Before you go to bed, clear your mind of everything you accomplished that day. Then, make a list of what you’ll work on the next day. This simple practice helps you get a running start to move through tasks faster, because you’re already giving yourself a great start before the next day begins.
These simple time-management tips will help give your productivity a boost. By implementing a few of these steps in your every day, you’ll power through your to-do list like never before.
