1. Do certain things
fewer times
Things
that can be done less or things that can be done once instead of twice are
those things that will help us save a lot of time. Clean your house once every
ten days instead of every 7 days – you can do that, it’s normal and the house
won’t get dirty in those three extra days.
Make
a work report every six week not every four weeks if possible.
Keep
meetings to inform yourself on ongoing projects twice a month not every week.
And the list of things that can be done fewer times can go on forever.
2. Compete with
yourself!
Watch
the clock and settle to finish an activity by a certain hour. Focus, get rod of
anything that could distract you and work more efficiently.
3. Ask more out of 15
minutes.
Can
you find 15 minutes a day that you could use more efficiently? Is there lost
time in your activities? Or maybe a less important activity you can give up on?
If you manage to save 15 minutes every day, you will win in fact 91 hours every
year!
4. Do a list of
little activities that don’t take you more than a couple of minutes.
Of
course, we usually want to deal with the important problems first. But when we
feel tired, stressed, in a bad mood, we find it hard to concentrate and we lose
our time forcing ourselves. A list of simple activities will help you finalize
something and push up your productivity. And obviously it is always better to
know you did something, even is it is small, than to realize you haven’t even
started anything.
5. Work on a certain
project over a certain period of time.
Rather
than to try and finalize an activity at once, it is better to tell yourself: “
I will work on this for 15 minutes and see how much I can get done during this
interval”. Focus and try to do all you can during those 15 minutes. This is an
excellent advice to solve problems or projects you avoided lately.
