Some people consider lack of time a natural state, equating it with need. Constantly in business, there is no time. Many companies use such a policy to achieve their goals by overloading their staff. It is not easy to live in such a regime, behavior and psyche are gradually changing. Productivity drops very soon. To do something with heart and thoughtfulness, you need to be able to pause.
What are you up to?
Before you start planning your day, you need to understand that this is painstaking work, you don't learn it right away. But then you can become a more responsible and organized person. Train yourself to actively use watches, diaries, organizers. After waking up, try to be in a positive mood so that it will be enjoyable to start your day's tasks. Ask yourself the following questions: “how can this day bring you closer to your goals?”, “How to get as much joy from it as possible?”, “What can you do to maintain your lifestyle?”.
The first step is to jot down all the things to do today. Carefully re-read the resulting list for "time eaters". These can be breaks in social networks, forced telephone conversations for fear of offending the interlocutor, and more. Give up what you don’t care about, what you don’t want. Now sort the cases. You will notice that some of them are more global, others are smaller. Some are urgent, others may take a few more days.
Important matters - forward
Highlight your top priorities today. This is the main rule - to put the most voluminous and important matters ahead. But what if these important things are scary, and you don't want to take on them at all? Break them down into several small ones, into stages. This way, you can alternate these steps towards a big deal with other, less important things. A kind of relaxation will turn out, and time will be used rationally. As practice shows, it seems easier to carry out the case in parts than as a whole. Often there is such a big deal, the deadline for which is distant in time. Make it a rule to do something every day to get you closer to your goal. In the same way, break the case into stages, take a piece a day.
Train yourself to be in order. Organize your workplace so that you do not have to constantly search for something in a panic. Such actions take a lot of time. When planning things, do not focus on someone else. You have your uptime periods. Concentrate your important affairs in them. Leave small ones for less productive time. Some people are full of strength from the early morning, others are broken and hardly think anything. But the latter will be more efficient in the evening hours. Give up idealism. If you are offered help or you know that someone can help - accept it! There are some perfectionists who want to do everything themselves. As a result, they do not have time to do anything.
When doing things, minimize productivity spikes. Do it at the same pace, complete it immediately. Then it will be more difficult to do it. Motivate yourself with the upcoming break you take yourself. When planning your time, don't forget about rest. Write down your vacation plans. This will help you see from the outside what exactly you are doing. Are you surfing the Internet again, wasting your time. Planning your vacation will allow you to diversify it and understand what you are missing.
