1. Feature urgent from the important

Think about what actions will bring you closer to all the working objectives and which ones you can do today. Imagine what would happen if you instead take unimportant but urgent matters.

Such problems are usually forced to react to other people's requests and distract from the larger goals. To save them a lot of time and focus on the importance of constantly evaluate their decisions.

When there is an unplanned task, ask yourself whether it is really important. And then think about how and when it is better to perform.

"It can be from nine to six only respond to e-mailBut that does not work and is not close to a large long-term goals - says Angie Morgan (Angie Morgan), co-author of the book "The Flash. How to lead yourself and others to success. " - When people say that they are very busy, in fact, they report that are not able to plan, prioritize and delegate. "

Even if all the cases seem to be equally important, it is necessary to allocate time between them. Try to do the most important of them in the morning, when you have the most energy. Learn to ignore the unimportant tasks and not be distracted by them, until they figured out a priority.

2. Reduce the distractions

Alert, loud noises, social networks, colleagues and frequent requests for checking e-mail from the pull flow conditions. After each such distractions need to re-adjust to the work, and it may take up to 25 minutes.

Be aware of these factors and try to limit their number. To begin, analyze your daily routine:

• Keep track of everything you do in a day, in order to understand what you do takes time. For sure you will notice that the meetings, phone calls, and e-mail notification distract you from the important work.
• Fix, how much time you actually take appointments and meetings. Usually it seems that they are fast, but in reality it is not always the case. Think how much time you want to spend on them ideally.
• If you see that some periods of the day are used irrationally, to rebuild his schedule.

3. Plan your day the night before

As you already know, which usually takes your time, you can start drawing up the plan. Imagine how your will take place the next day, especially morning. Make a to-do list, then to act on the machine.

• Write down what you need to do tomorrow to get closer to the working goals.
• Try to perform these tasks until noon the next day.
• Repeat this process every day, week, month and year.

With this simple habit you twice more productive.

4. Use the 1-3-5 method in the preparation of lists of cases

We expect that one day you will be able to do one big thing, three medium and five small. This will reduce the task list Up to nine points. Of course, plans could change depending on circumstances. For example, if the most important thing on the day very much.

In any case, such a list of priorities - it is a good scheme that more and saves time. Since it is not necessary to think, what to do during the day.
