This tips would help you to get more done by managing your time effectively. Tons of time management
hacks and strategies have been developed over the years by hundred of people to help you get more done in less time.
Here are six of my favourite task management tips to help you stop procrastinating in your work and personal life. Think about which on of these ideas could be most helpful to you right now in your current situation.
1. Think on Paper
The first tip is you can get more done by thinking on paper lists. Every step of the job or task in advance break down the job into its constituent parts. Before you begin simply write down every details and thoroughly preparing in advance will help you to find good starting point .
Once you do that just keep following the steps that you've laid out for yourself until the job is done.
2. Come fully prepare for each task
When you sit down to work or begin a task make sure you have everything on hand so that you won't have to get up and move until the task is fully prepared is a powerful motivator for staying with the task until it is finished.
3. Take a small step to get started
There is 80/20 rule that says that 20% of the tasks often accounts for 80% value of that tasks. This is what Confucius meant when he said that " journey of a thousand mile or league begins with a single step ". Once you taken even one single step to start the job you'll find yourself continuing on with the task to completion.
4. Use Salami Slice method
Just as you never try to eat a whole loaf of salami at once , don't try to take on all of a job from the start. The best way to complete the major task is to take the small slice and complete just that piece, just as you take a single slice of salami and eat only that. When you select a small piece of the task and then discipline yourself to do it and get over with it.
It will all often give you the momentum you need to counter inertia and stop procrastinating.
5. Punch holes in your task
Just as a block Swiss cheese is full of holes, you treat your task like a block of cheese and punch holes in it. Select a 5 minute part of your job and do only that don't worry about the whole job.
For example, if you want to write an article or a book break the task down into small pieces that take an identifiable amount of time to complete and do just one small piece at a time whenever you get the chance.
Many authors begin by writing one page a day, if you are doing research you can read one article presenting many people write complete books on airplanes or complete their college degrees with blocks of time between their other activities. If you wrote one page a day for year you would you would have 365 page book by the end of year.
The fact is it will be more effective if you deal first with whatever is causing you the greatest emotional distress or fear. Often this will break the log jam in your work and free you up mentally and emotionally to get things done.
