Shit to do ... The keys to getting it all done !
How do you get it all done? I'm regularly asked how I'm able to accomplish so much in a day. I'm certainly not an all star in a lot of things, but I do applaud my ability to optimize a window of time. I like the quote "We all have the same 24 hours." This had a great impact on me and assuming we are all fully capable, it holds true for all of us. It all comes down to planning and execution.
I'll break it down.
1.) Prioritization and Planning:
  • Prioritize: Start each day having already identified the three most important tasks you need to accomplish. I have a Journey Journal which I use and is perfectly designed for this.
  • Set clear goals: Use a version of the SMART criteria. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time bound
  • Plan ahead: When scheduling out your day in advance, be realistic with time for tasks, travel, etc and allow wiggle room for delays.
2.) Focus and Execution:
  • Single-tasking: Focus on completing one task at a time without interruptions to enhance productivity and reduce errors.
  • Work in bursts: Concentration and energy are finite resources. Take regular breaks to replenish.
  • Time blocking: Allocate specific time slots for different tasks or categories of work to create a structured schedule and minimize distractions. Utilize your your resources during their peak performance. I do creative and physical tasks in the morning when I firing on all cylinders. Computer tasks are done at night to wind down and don't require daylight etc...
3.) Minimizing Distractions and Optimization:
  • Limit distractions: Turn off notifications, block distracting websites, and create a conducive work environment to maintain focus.
  • Delegate tasks: Identify tasks that can be delegated to others to free up time for higher-priority activities and improve overall efficiency.
  • Audit and adjust: Regularly review your time management strategies, identify areas for improvement, and make necessary adjustments to optimize productivity.
BONUS Techniques
  • Self talk: remind yourself of your "Whys". Why is this task important? What are the consequences if it's not completed? How does it look regarding your personal brand? Butterfly / Ripple effect...
  • Build the skill: Like a muscle, this is a skill which can be developed over time.
