1. Determine what is important to you and pay special attention to this issue.
This is a question of goal-setting and prioritization: will the results in the long run give what you are doing now? If not, then you are doing a completely useless thing. So why should they continue to do so?
2. The rule of two minutes
If you can perform an action within two minutes (for example, reply to a letter or clear the table), then do it right now. If you decide to postpone this business for later, then, firstly, it will take you more time, and secondly, there is no guarantee that you will do it at all.
3. The ten minute rule
A great way to combat procrastination is to set yourself the goal of not solving this “enormous difficult task”, but simply giving it the next ten minutes of your time. The main thing here is to start, and there you will not notice how you get to the end.
If you do not believe that you can devote 10 minutes a day to something, you probably have not tried to rebuild the schedule so that it works out. The same 10 minutes can be combined with something - for example, with breakfast or with a trip to work. In short, everyone can find 10 minutes a day for the project you need.
4. The Seinfeld Rule
If you want to be the best at something, then practice it every day. Including Christmas, Easter and another holiday. No exceptions. No concessions like "today is the day off."
5. Work on your habits
Right habits give any person a huge bonus in achieving their goals. It's great if you can develop at least 2 new good habits per year.
6. Do not rely on memory
You will not be able to keep everything in mind, even if you are a genius. Take notes in a notebook, compile task lists, plan on your phone or elsewhere.
7. Use as many tools as you really need.
Today there is a huge selection of competing programs, services and gadgets. Find the most convenient solutions for your tasks and give up everything else.
8. Discipline is our everything
And it’s best to start with two things: planning your day every morning or before bedtime and writing a short report every night. This will help you set priorities correctly, cut off useless tasks, and do exactly what matters.
9. Stop constantly checking your mail
Do not start your work day with reading email and do not end it with it. Your inbox is not a to-do list. Try to reset its contents by sending the cases to be resolved to the scheduler, files to the repository, and personal correspondence to the archive.
10. The same for phone calls.
Who says you should always be in touch? Turn off your phone when you are busy, and turn it on at a specific time. Who needs it - they will call you back, who do not need it - they will not be able to distract you.
11. Rule MI3
This abbreviation stands for Most Important three tasks and means that every day you need to start by completing the three most important tasks, and plan the rest already. Do you have 3 main tasks of the morning?
12. Willpower is limited
Try to make important decisions in the morning, and delegate all the rest that are secondary and extraneous.
13. Plan procrastination
Sometimes doing nothing and fooling around can give an energetic boost to your brain. It’s important to keep these processes under control, not allowing them to lead you.
14. Delete it. Say no. Ignore. Break someone else's plans
Try to build life according to your own plan, and not successfully fit into the work schedules of others. As useful tricks, you can use headphones in your ears, even if you are not listening to music, or fake incompetence.
Work.ua does not call to refuse help to those who need it, but rather advises to be reasonable and cut off those who parasitize your time.
15. Sleep, food and exercise
They will help you triple the result by increasing focus, motivation and energy level.
