1. Do tasks less frequently Run a report every 6 weeks instead of every 4 weeks. Clean house every 10 days rather than every 7 days. Hold a meeting twice a month instead of every week.
2. Race yourself
Look at
clock & commit to have task done by a specific time. You’ll stay focused, avoid distractions & probably work with higher quality.
3. Make most of 15 minutes
Can you find an extra 15 minutes in your day to use more effectively? Is there “wasted” time you can eliminate or a lower-valued task you can cut? Saving 15 minutes a day gives you a whopping 91 extra hours a year!
4. Have a list of small, easy tasks that take only a few minutes. Normally, of course, we want to work on big, important projects first. But often when we’re stuck, tired, upset or overwhelmed, it’s hard to get anything done & we waste time spinning our wheels. A list of small or micro tasks will help you to get something done and will jumpstart your productivity. And of course, it’s better to get even a small task done than nothing!
