Try This To Get More Done
How often do you set yourself a long list of tasks to get done within a day and end up either:
- Spending all day running around trying to get everything done, feeling drained at the end of the day
- Only completing 6 out of your 8 tasks and feeling worthless because of it.
I have experienced both of these.
I used to give myself as many tasks as physically possible for a day, and it was very rare I managed to get everything done.
Then, Chris Williamson released his Christmas Special which contained an idea that changed how I thought about to-do lists.
This idea was The Minimal To-Do List.
Imagine you set yourself 6 tasks for the day but only hit 4, you end up in either of the previous two scenarios. But if you set 6 and hit 8, you’d feel pretty good about yourself wouldn’t you?
You would probably also be more motivated for the next day.
So, it might be better to set yourself a lower target for the day.
This many benefits such as:
- Feeling less overwhelmed as you have less to do
- The essential things now get done as clutter is removed
- Feeling more energised as you feel good for hitting your goal
Instead of cramming everything into each day, choose 3 or 4 essential tasks and get them done.
If you then have time at the end of the day, you can always get a head start on tomorrow’s tasks. This is how you end up actually getting more done.
It allows you to feel good about your work.
Now it’s over to you. For the next week choose no more than 4 essential tasks for each day and work on them. See how it goes and if it changes how you feel at the end of each day about your productivity. Then come back and let me know how it went.
Good luck!!
