I would very much appreciate it if you could promote my blog by sharing on your social media. I will post more blogs in the future and I would like to spread my blogs to a larger audience. Thank you for reading! You are very appreciated! :)
1.Analyze what time is being spent on; you may be wasting time with activities that don't make sense. Set up a schedule on computer, paper, phone to manage your time better and track activities that actually work towards your results/goals. Determine which of these are efficient and effective, and then do more of those things.
2.Break work into small steps. This is especially important if the results are long term! Break them up into manageable, bite-sized tasks that you can complete in one sitting if possible. For example, a project plan may be broken down by day or week/month.
3.Buy a planner/agenda and manage it everyday on a weekly basis, daily if possible. Don't forget to write the schedule down! Or better yet, don't write it down so you don't forget it!! ;)
4.Commit to your daily routine – set your alarm and make sure you get up in the morning and get ready for work (instead of sleeping late). This will help you develop a habit. Developing a habit is important to getting to work on time because it is something you will become used to doing (especially if it becomes a routine).
5.Don't procrastinate! Many people tend to put off things that they don't enjoy doing until later. While this may work in the beginning, this can lead to more things ending up unfinished. It is better to get these tasks out of the way and then move on with your day. If you procrastinate, you may find yourself having too much on your plate at once and ultimately not be able to complete it all!
6.Don't put off answering emails. Many people wait until the end of the day to check their email, which can delay their ability to get things done. Instead, check your email at regular intervals throughout the day and respond accordingly.
7.Don't spend time worrying about what others think of you. There are always going to be those who may try to bring you down or make you feel like what you are doing is not good enough, but this shouldn't stop you from doing what it is that makes YOU happy!
8.Don't let one bad idea or event ruin your day/week/month. Once you start thinking about things negatively, it makes it harder to solve the problem. Take a step back and look at the issue from different perspectives, which may help you to find a solution quicker!
9.Don't be afraid to ask for help! This can sometimes be frustrating to do, but sometimes it is easier and more convenient to ask someone else for assistance than finding out how to do something on your own. It can also discourage you if you feel like others are too far away and will never be able to assist you.
10.Focus on the fact that today could be your lucky day. This will help keep you positive instead of thinking about how unlucky you are or how many things are going wrong. If you are willing to work hard and put in an honest effort, then the success could be just around the corner!
11.Get up earlier in the morning by setting your alarm a little earlier each night. This will give you more time to get ready for work and organize yourself for the day
12.Get up on time every single morning, even when it feels hard! If you set your alarm early enough, hopefully this will not feel as hard as it sounds and it will become second nature over time
13.Get rid of any and all distractions in your work area. Get rid of clutter and unnecessary items that are taking up space. If you need a little space to work, clear it out and make sure you have the essentials close at hand.
14.Get enough sleep to the point where you are so drowsy that you can't stay awake long enough to do anything that requires thinking or concentration such as studying for an exam or working on a project!
15.Give yourself a deadline for completing each task/project/work! This will help you stay motivated throughout your day so you don't find yourself forgetting about it while trying to get other things done!
