Gleb Arkhangelsky has written several excellent books on time management. He shared with his readers the experience and secrets of how to keep up with everything.
Instructions
Step 1
The main secret is planning. It is necessary to adequately assess your time and present separately each lesson of your day. Calculate how long it will take to complete. To make it easier to navigate - planning is on paper. Write down all your tasks, the date and time of their completion. But don't plan your entire day. It is better to leave some free time for relaxation or for a sudden emergency.
Step 2
An equally important point is the time eaters. You need to get rid of them. During the day, you can observe yourself and determine how much time is wasted unproductively. For example: telephone conversations on abstract topics, viewing photos on social networks, empty communication by mail, watching TV series, etc. Simple discussion of the topic: "How to do everything?" - takes a long time. It is worth writing down all these activities, counting how much time is spent on them and, if possible, getting rid of them.
Step 3
There is one secret, Arkhangelsky calls it "Eat a Frog." Don't be scared. It is a frog here - an unpleasant thing that needs to be done in the morning. It is important not to postpone such things until tomorrow. And at least one "frog a day to eat", thereby ensuring a good mood for the whole day, because the main unpleasant thing has already been done.
Step 4
"Divide the elephant!" Big things, projects - need to be divided into parts. Then their implementation is not so scary. Can be divided into very small actions. Thus, step by step - the global project will be solved!
Step 5
Give up perfectionism. To do well, you need to make mistakes and do badly many times. Better to do something than do nothing. For fear that it will not turn out the way they want, many people refuse to act.
Step 6
It is very important to reward yourself for the accomplished things. Include in your plan not only life tasks, but also good quality rest. When the walk in the park gets up in its allotted time, there will be no reason to refuse to rest, because there is not enough time. Successful people always find time to relax and forget about business.
Step 7
Introduce new habits into your life. It is necessary for personal development and is great for relieving boredom. New habits also need to be written into the plan and adhered to strictly. No excuses should work here. Only in this way will habits organically enter the regime, and will not only be useful, but also bring joy.
