Time management is one of the most difficult tasks to master. How often do we say \u2018I have got no time\u2019. There is always time, you never run out of it but it all boils down to how well you manage it.<\/p>\n
1) Set up a work routine – kick off with short tasks to get the ball rolling.<\/strong> Okappy can\u2019t help with all of the above aspects but can definitely help you to delegate your jobs and ensure you are organised.
\nAccomplishing something small, like an easy and quick task, is the best way to get your mind on the right path.
\n 2) Have daily to-do lists and prioritise them \u2013 one I love!<\/strong>
\nHaving daily to-do lists and prioritising them is an effective way of scheduling your day, helping you to focus on top priority tasks. Tick them off as you go along, it gives you a sense of achievement by the end of the day!
\n3) Always know the one thing you really need to get done during the day.<\/strong>
\nTo help prioritise, determine what task in front of you is most important, and focus your energy into getting that done as soon as possible.
\n4) You get more done when you\u2019re in the zone.<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s ok to have \u2018off days\u2019. Don\u2019t beat yourself up for it, but take advantage of those days when you can maintain focus and are in the zone.
\n5) Quality and not quantity.<\/strong>
\nMore work hours don\u2019t always result in more productivity. Make sure you make time for relaxation or else your exhaustion will catch up on you and make you less productive than you otherwise would be.
\n6) Take notes.<\/strong>
\nRather than keeping all your good ideas in your head or thinking what you need to do, write them down so you are not exhausting your brain.
\n7) Learn to delegate work to other people.<\/strong>
\nNo one person can do it all, learn to delegate. It may take up more of your time to start off with but it will pay off in the end.
\n8) Multitasking kills your focus.<\/strong>
\nStudies have found that it\u2019s more productive to take a moment to clear your head and consciously focus on the task in front of you rather than multitasking. You are exhausting your brain and a huge amount of time can be wasted as a result.
\n9) Being a perfectionist can hinder progress.<\/strong>
\nA well-known saying, \u201cA good plan executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.\u201d
\n10) Don\u2019t get distracted by the past.<\/strong>
\nFocus on what\u2019s in front of you. Don\u2019t get distracted by the successes or failures of the past.<\/p>\nHow Can Okappy Job Management Help<\/h3>\n
