How to do more in less time. 25 rules.

How to do more in less time. 25 rules.

In the modern world there is one nuance – very little free time. But we always want to do everything, and in a short time to do many planned things. Is it possible? Perhaps, but develop two qualities: organization and self-discipline. There are several rules for hints, with which you can do more in less time.

1. Set the goal and focus on the main thing.

If there is no specific, clear purpose, then you will be engaged in different things, but what you really need.

2. Create an incentive and motivation for yourself.

If we like the work, then we do it with pleasure. Always motivate yourself, for example, if you do this work before the end of the day, then in the evening you can watch an interesting film, or relax with friends.

3. Rules 80 to 20.

It does not matter how much time you have, the main thing is to use it correctly. The rule “Paretto” says that 20% of the effort brings 80% of success and vice versa 80% of the effort is only 20% of the result. Therefore, it is so important to determine the affairs that will bring the most result. At the same time, we work effectively only 20% of the time, do this during the most important period, everything else – then.

4. Turn off everything that is distracting.

All that picks at this moment, when you are busy, the mail that just came, or the phone, all this can wait, when you are busy. Put the phone on a silent mode, put an answering machine on the mail and let nothing distract you. All the things that distract you, knock you off the idea and then you will be tuned to the right wave hard. Minimize the moments of distraction, and your main business will be done faster and better!

5. Do everything decisively.

Have thought up something – do, do not waste time on long reflections. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Remember, only those who do nothing do not make mistakes!

6. Learn to refuse.

To say – “no” is not shameful! All requests that have nothing to do with you take your precious time. Do only what you need. Remember – helping someone does not mean doing it for him.

7. Bring it to the end.

Much like to put things off for later. At the same time, a lot of started and unfinished business arises, which pull us back. Try always to finish things to the end. Do not start a new business when you have not finished the old one.

8. Write lists.

To write to-do lists is very useful! Make a list of things for today, week, month, year. When it’s done, delete it. This method will help you to be more organized.

9. First important things.

You can make a table, according to the specified example:

 

	urgent	non-urgent
important	1 urgent important	2 non-urgent important
not important	3 urgent not important	4 non-urgent not important

Distribute all the work into 4 groups: urgent and important, not urgent, but important, and first of all do everything that was noted in the 1st group. Secondly, those cases that fell into the 2 nd group, and cases from the last group can be dealt with provided that you have free time.

10. Procedure

A lot of time is lost if you have things wrong in their search. Try to keep everything in its place. This rule also applies to the desktop on the computer, and to the folders in “My Documents”. 5 minutes to maintain order will save you hours that can be spent searching.

11. Do not think in a stereotyped way.

As a rule, our work is very monotonous, so sometimes it becomes boring and not interesting. Try to think differently and do the work differently, maybe your work can be done faster or automate part of the process or there is an opportunity to delegate responsibilities.

12. Focus on what you are doing.

Our brain is designed so that we think about different things at the same time, and we concentrate and concentrate badly. If you have already begun to do something, then do not be distracted. Thus, the result will be more effective both in time and in effort.

13. Go to work immediately

Many people, before starting to do work, start to drink tea, read posts in social networks or put things in order on the table, and then they themselves wonder where the time allocated to them for work fell. If you know what to do – do it right away, then you can do it quickly, and in the form of a bonus you can have tea and drink in social networks.

14. Use time without residue

We waste a lot of time, but it can be used more efficiently. For example, during breakfast – make a plan of action, and when we eat for work, you can listen to an audiobook.

15. Track the time spent.

You can save a lot of time, provided legibility. Choose movies and TV shows only those that you see, magazines and newspapers that you read.

16. Change classes

The body very seldom gets tired completely, usually I get tired only some groups of muscles. Change of employment will help redistribute fatigue. For example, if you have been sitting for several hours, switch to work that can be done standing or moving and vice versa.

17. Start early.

It is noticed that if you come to work half an hour earlier, you can do much more.

18. Work when working.

You probably noticed that there are days when work is done quickly, like “in oil”, but there are days when you do not want absolutely nothing, and everything “falls from your hands”. This is normal and sometimes you need to give yourself an opportunity to relax, and a little pobezdelnichat day or two.

19. Set the day mode.

You can do more if the day is well planned, and all the things will be done at the time you set. To do this, plan your day, including meals and sleep. You will easier to wake up, if it is constantly at the same time, you will be more effective in carrying out the work.

20. Be careful.

If you want to be more efficient and save time, listen carefully, write down instructions and information, specify if something is not clear. This will help to avoid misunderstanding, repetition and rework.

21. Take away the “devourers of time”.

How not to twist, and in the day only 24 hours. And, whatever you do, they will not be 30 or 40. If you really want to do much during the day, you need to get rid of useless activities.

22. An information diet is useful.

In our time, there is a lot of information, we are always subject to information attacks. Our brain is not able to perceive this constant flow and process it. Our brain practically does not rest: news on TV, gossip of colleagues, social networks, home conversations, etc. As a result, we feel that the head “swells” from an overabundance of information, and we become distracted and inattentive. The solution is to limit the flow of information, for example, stop watching news on TV.

23. Optimize the work.

Analyze that you are taking a lot of time. For example, cooking. You can purchase a multivariate that will help you cope with this task with your minimum participation.

24. The perfect rule: only three tasks per day.

“In order to manage more – eat a frog for breakfast.” – These are the words of Western specialists in time management. What does it mean to do something not the most pleasant, but very important since the morning. When this is done, the rest will seem trivial and easy for you in comparison with the morning task. Plan for the day three important things, one of which will be a “frog”, completing them, the rest if possible and as far as possible. Thus, you every day will be effective, because at least three cases are done!

25. Divide the big work into small tasks.

A lot of work consists of little ones that we deal with every day. It’s always scary to start a big job, but when you plan and break it into small ones, everything becomes possible and realizable. The main thing – act!{:}
