If you struggle with procrastination, I can't stress this enough.
Here are 9 tips that’ll save you hundreds of hours.
These are time management basics everyone should know.
1. "2-Minute Rule":
If a task can be done in less than 2 minutes, do it immediately.
This helps eliminate small tasks that can quickly add up and overwhelm you.
2. "5-Second Rule":
When you feel the urge to procrastinate, count down from 5 and take immediate action.
3. "Not To-Do" list:
Identify tasks or activities that are not essential or that can be delegated and stop doing them.
This helps to free up time and energy for more important tasks.
4. Eliminate multitasking:
Trying to juggle multiple tasks guarantees that your mind will wander.
Singletask with ruthless focus instead.
5. Pomodoro Technique:
The Pomodoro Technique involves working in focused 25-minute increments, followed by a 5-minute break.
After 4 cycles, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes.
This technique will help you stay focused and avoid burnout.
6. 80-20 rule:
Focus on the 20% of tasks that will produce 80% of the results.
This helps to prioritize tasks and avoid procrastination.
7. 1-3-5 rule:
At the start of each day, identify 1 big thing to accomplish, 3 medium things, and 5 small tasks.
Knock out those priorities first.
8. "Eat the frog":
Do your biggest, nastiest task first thing in the morning while your willpower is highest.
It's energizing to get the hard stuff out of the way early.
9. Break Tasks into Smaller Pieces:
One main reason we procrastinate is that a task seems too big and overwhelming.
To make it more manageable, try breaking it down into smaller, more doable parts.
For example, if you have a big project, break it down into steps like researching, outlining, writing, and editing.
