Have you ever been going about your day knowing that you have many things to accomplish? However, you don’t accomplish anything because one you just don’t get to them and two you get sidetracked by other things or people. Here is a list that I believe will help you become more efficient throughout your day. It’s all about implementation.
-
Create clear measurable goals and create clear detailed plans for the next day, week, or year.
-
Plan your week on Saturday and Sunday
-
Plan your day the day before
-
-
Make a list before you start your day.
-
Set priorities on you list
-
Use 80/20 rule
-
Focus on the 20%
-
-
If you have a list of ten items focus on the two most important things.
-
At the end of each day transfer the items to the next day.
-
Ask yourself what is the most valuable use of my time right now?
-
Should I do A or B?
-
Focus on the one thing that you absolutely need to complete. If you need to leave out of town tomorrow, what would be that one thing you must absolutely get done today?
-
-
-
Focus only what you have on the list and do one thing at a time.
-
Make sure not to procrastinate and get it done now.

If you are finding that many – nuisance-type tasks keep getting transferred to the next day and then again , you may want to consider hiring help.
Virtual Assistants are an effective and efficient way to outsource some of the work that does not require your expertise.
http://www.VAnetworking.com has some great resources for businesses looking to hire virtual help. There is a downloadable book “How to hire a Virtual Assistant” that has lots of info and comes at no cost.
I guess the thing is why, keep putting work off and off, get it done without any stress to you! Plus you get more time to do more things.
