You are always in a hurry. You had sufficient time to finish your tasks but you couldn't finish them on time. You were running late as per the schedule. Every day, you end up doing the same. You wish if you had known something to help you work smoothly. The need of the hour is to simply follow these simple tips to finish things on time and feel happy when the day ends.
1. Know your goals and organize them by value and priority.
Note down all the goals you want to achieve. If you don’t have one, decide one for yourself today. Now, organize them as per your priority. Have one goal for each one of these: health, work, finance and so on.
Know which goal should be given highest preference and which should not. If you are obese, your health is your topmost priority.
2. Prioritise: Focus on one task and finish it today.
Now, when you have your list of goals in front of you; you can start working on them. Get your things done before the deadline and see how it makes a difference. Work on your tasks in order of your priority. Finish the smaller tasks first to feel confident about achieving the rest of your big goals.
3. Your best work in that moment is OK.
You want to do your best. Don’t think too much if you can complete that task today and on time, instead simply start doing it. Nothing is perfect. It is better to just get your tasks done and then keep checking if you are improving. Don’t run for perfectionism.
4. Get things done in half the time you need.
If you are a perfectionist, try setting hard deadlines. You will be surprised to see yourself completing the task within the deadline. Stop thinking and keep doing!
5. Schedule planning and thinking time each day.
Prioritizing task list and planning help you save so many minutes. Plan your projects a day before you get to work. Separate planning time from execution to get your work done faster. Also, setting aside a fixed period of time to think each day will help you solve your worries better.
6. Turn big goals into small daily tasks.
After you have set a goal, now work out and see what will take you to achieve a goal. Turn those steps into projects and tasks. Create deadlines for each project and small daily tasks for each project quickly.
You will be surprised to see yourself finishing all the tasks on time if you follow these steps.
Don’t forget to make your to-do-list for the next day before you sleep today.
