How not to get anything done…
One of my biggest problems used to be that I didn’t accomplish as much as I wanted to each day. Was it due to lack of work to do? Maybe I just didn’t have enough to keep busy? Absolutely not. I had many different projects to work on.
I really think that was the problem. I had too many projects to work on, so I felt overwhelmed thinking that I had to be working on all of them at the same time…and in turn, spent a few minutes on each, and never really got much accomplished.
I have spent the past few months working on this though, and want to share with you the ways I have been able to get more done.
1. Prioritize your projects. What is the most important? What is least important? Once you decide what is most important, make sure you work on that first. If possible, try to focus on just one project at a time, but sometimes you don’t have a choice but to work on many projects…so at least make sure you know which are the ones that should get your time first.
2. Make a schedule before you go to sleep. The next day, work on things in the order you set up the night before. Of course since you prioritized everything, the more important things will get done first, even if they are not the most fun.
3. Don’t feel as if you have to get everything done at once. Set realistic goals and milestones for yourself on when you want to get things done. This way each day you will see that you are getting closer to your goals, and you’ll feel better.
If you follow these simple rules, you’ll be able to get done a lot more each day, and get closer to your goals!
