SUMMARY:
- The first hour after
waking up must be dedicated to something that can boost your energy and fill
you with
positive emotions.
- Tackle your biggest tasks
in the morning because this is when your brain works best. Knowing that the
hardest part of your work is finished will make you feel less stressed and more
inspired to keep going.
- Plan not only the results
you want but also the road that will lead you to them.
- If you feel overwhelmed
by your responsibilities, discover where you can get more time.
- The easiest way to get
things done faster is to be motivated. If you do something that you're
passionate about, you're set up for success.
- It makes sense to do
similar tasks together rather than having to re-orient more often.
- Try not to start a task
with the thought “I'll finish when I'm done.” Trust me; knowing that you have
all the time in the world will just lead to procrastination.
- Allowing yourself some
buffer time between tasks can be a breath of fresh air for your brain.
- You have to learn to
value your time and teach others to treat your time with respect too. Don’t let
them screw with your schedule!
- If it takes less than 5
minutes to do a task, do it immediately.
- Did you know that 41% of
to-do items are never completed or don’t correlate with what you planned to do?
The magnitude of a to-do list can be overwhelming and even distracting.
- Before starting any new
task, think about all the possible distractions and excuses your inner
procrastinator might come up with.
- A study from the
University of Michigan confirmed that the human brain isn't designed to
multitask.
- Have breakfast with your
family and lunch with your coworkers. Positive interactions with people will
help you recharge and stay motivated.

hey are you trying your
best to get
everything done but feeling
like 24
hours in a day isn't enough
the struggle
is real I know the only way
to stop
running on fumes is to
start treating
time a bit differently find
out how to
juggle your commitments with
ease right
now let's count it down
from number 17
start your day right the
way you start
your day is extremely
important for your
productivity no I'm not
gonna tell you
that you have to get down
to business
first thing in the morning
the first
hour after waking up must
be dedicated
to something that can boost
your energy
and fill you with positive
emotions it
might be physical exercises
that help
your body wake up
completely or a
meditation session that
calms you before
dealing with the challenges
of a new day
don't forget to have a
great breakfast
now you're ready to conquer
the world
[Music]
number 16 work on your most
important
tasks first supposedly Mark
Twain once
said if it's your job to
eat a frog it's
best to do it first thing
in the morning
and if it's your job to eat
two frogs
it's best to eat the
biggest one first
get the point if you're
working day
starts with checking your
emails or
doing small tasks that are
not urgent
you're doing it the wrong
way
tackle your biggest task in
the morning
because this is when your
brain works
best knowing that the
hardest part of
your work is finished will
make you feel
less stressed and more
inspired to keep
going number 15 find out
where your time
goes still can't figure out
why time is
slipping through your fingers
like sand
well stop playing at the
beach no
actually you should try to
write down
exactly how you spend it
I mean write down
everything you do
every hour of every day for
a whole week
trust me at the end of this
experiment
you'll be Asthana
when you look through your
notes it'll
be clear that you waste
loads of time
they could be used more
productively but
don't beat yourself up
about it
the point here is to become
aware of
your time stealing habits
and activities
so that you can get rid of
them number
14 break down your goals do
you have a
big project that scares you
because you
don't know where to start
trying to
achieve your goal might
lead to
frustration and
procrastination if you
don't divide it into
manageable chunks
and this can be done in the
shortest
span of time when you know
exactly what
you have to do and when it
gives you
more confidence moreover
you won't
hesitate to take the first
step so plant
not only the results you
want but also
the road that will lead you
to them
number 13 catch up on time
if you feel
overwhelmed by your
responsibilities
discover where you can get
more time
stuck in a traffic jam or
waiting for a
doctor's appointment thanks
to modern
technology it's easy to do
almost any
kind of work without being
present at
the office get down to a
small task like
answering messages calling
a client and
so on or why not listen to
an audio book
that will level up your
professional
skills while taking a bath
number 12
stay motivated the easiest
way to get
things done faster is to be
motivated if
you do something that
you're passionate
about you're set up for
success of
course you can't do only
the things you
like but you can change
your attitude
toward them by realizing
how every step
takes you closer to your
goals 11 group
related tasks switching
from one task to
another demands time to
adjust to a new
activity that requires a
different type
of thinking therefore it
makes sense to
do similar tasks together
rather than
having to
Oread more often for
example if you have
to create two presentations
and make a
few calls it's better to
finish one type
of work and then move on to
the next
number ten set time limits
for each task
try not to start a task
with a thought
I'll finish when I'm done
trust me
knowing that you have all
the time in
the world will just lead to
procrastination estimate
first how much
time you'll need to finish
something and
don't exceed it this will
push you to
focus and be more efficient
even if you
end up having to go back
and add a bit
later
number 9 take breaks
between tasks don't
rush from task to task as
this will
leave you feeling burned
out allowing
yourself some buffer time
between tasks
can be like a breath of
fresh air for
your brain while taking a
break go for a
short walk have a snack or
meditate to
clear your mind number 8
leave out small details if
you're
anything like me you want
everything to
be perfect and this desire
makes you
constantly examine what
you've done so
far but checking it all the
time drags
you down and slows your
progress instead
get the bulk completed
first and revise
things later you can always
go back to
those small details and
polish them off
at the end number 7 learn
to say no
managing your time isn't
only about
being productive it's also
about getting
on top of your priorities
unfortunately
you can't do everything
that's why you
have to learn to value your
time and
teach others to treat your
time with
respect to don't let them
screw with
your schedule has your
friend asked you
to pick them up from the
airport in the
middle of a workday doing
this favor
will throw you off course
simply dust
off your people skills and
learn to say
no in a very polite and
delicate way
number six declutter and
organize is
your desk flooded with
papers does it
take you ages to find the
things you
need researchers at the
Princeton
Neuroscience Institute
found out that
physical clutter negatively
affects your
ability to focus and
process information
and when you lose focus you
lose time if
you want to avoid that
declutter and
organize your stuff you can
start small
just one drawer today and
the next one
tomorrow your work process
will get
easier when everything is
neat and tidy
and you'll notice it right
away
number five take care of
small things
this is the easiest tip
that you can
start using right away if
it takes less
than five minutes to do a
task do it
immediately small things
are not hard to
do but getting them out of
your way will
increase your productivity
by letting
you focus on more important
and
time-consuming stuff number
four throw
away your to-do list yep
you heard that
right did you know that 41%
of to-do
items are never completed
or don't
correlate with what you
plan to do the
magnitude of a to-do list
can be
overwhelming and even
distracting the
main problem is that you
mix everything
up work goals household
chores and
personal stuff like getting
your hair
cut keeping a weekly
calendar is much
more effective you're still
aware of all
your firm deadlines and
important events
but you stress out less if
something
doesn't go according to
plan
number three fool your
inner
procrastinator I know all
too well that
fighting procrastination is
hard but
there is a way to beat it
down before
starting any task think
about all the
possible distractions and
excuses your
inner procrastinator might
come up with
then simply do some
preventative work
for example if you need to
write a
report
keep your phone out of
reach to avoid
checking social media
yeah number two
quit multitasking now some
people are
sure that multitasking is
the key to
making the most of their
time but those
who are successful know
that
multitasking is pretty much
a waste of
time
a study from the University
of Michigan
confirmed that the human
brain isn't
designed to multitask it's
best to focus
on one task and finish it
properly
before going on to the next
one and
number one make your meals
a social
event having a last resort
lunch from
the vending machine
hmm you may think you're
saving time by
doing this but you're
really adding
unnecessary stress by
depriving yourself
of the social time that
gives your brain
a rest have breakfast with
your family
and lunch with your
coworkers positive
interactions with people
will help you
recharge and stay motivated

time successfully share
