How do I work effectively and efficiently?
Hello dear Steemians,
Especially in our time the distraction was like never before: Here is a Whatsapp message, an e-mail, a marker on Facebook and a mobile phone game app and an hour has passed faster than you would like. If you read it that way, everyone agrees with me, but in real life most people fall back into these patterns. I have had to struggle with it myself, but at some point you not only know it, but also understand that this is a big waste of time and you get rid of it. But let's get back to the topic: How can I work more efficiently and effectively and achieve my goals?
Morning ritual
Most people are woken up by their alarm clock, stay in bed, grab a cell phone and check what has happened for the last 6 to 10 hours.
I personally have my morning ritual:
Whenever I wake up, I put up my roller shutter and make my bed. The first task of the day has already been completed. Afterwards I go to the balcony, enjoy the freshness of nature and collect my thoughts, what I will do today and collect body and mind for a few minutes. Afterwards I have breakfast and then I start my day.
You can do whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you meditate, visualize, exercise, jump into the shower, pray, read, walk, write a diary or do anything else. But collect yourselves. Take your body and mind up and leave your computer, mobile phone and games aside!
Plan your day!
Don't go blind in everyday life. Proceed according to plan. Think about what you want to achieve. Set goals and don't let go until you have reached them! Write everything on a list. Without a plan, things are not going well. You overlook things, forget things and in the end you don't use your time but lie in bed and watch movies, although you still have things to do.
Workplace
A workplace is a room or environment where you work. Keep it clean and tidy, just like a workstation! This isn't a games room! Here you do your work, work towards your goals and dream and you should treat and design it accordingly. Clean and functional is the keyword here. Nothing in this environment should distract or hinder you from focusing and achieving your goals!
Regular breaks
You must always be focused throughout the day. This inevitably means that you need breaks during your work. Probably it's tempting to turn on a mobile game at this time or to spoil it in social media, but that wouldn't be productive, meaningful or let's say we can do much better things during the break. For example, 5 minutes of active exercise, especially when you are working from home to increase blood flow and participate physically after sitting around forever. Afterwards briefly out into the fresh air and for 5 minutes collect your thoughts, arrange and clear your head before he goes to work again. This advice is especially for you, Steemian's.
Don't get distracted!
On the internet you can do so many useful things, I don't really have to tell you Steemians, but the internet can be the biggest and most pointless time destroyer. Don't get distracted while working! Work purposefully. Put the phone in flight mode, fire in the corner and give it to him! Social media, emails, whatsapp and similar things just get you out of focus. Always have something to drink at hand so you don't dehydrate. Ideal would be water, tea and from time to time also coffee, but leave drinks like Coca Cola away. Vent in case the air becomes stuffy and always keep your goal in mind, which you want to reach.
Erases the useless mobile games
I want to warn you about Handyapps! If we're being honest, you guys don't get anything out of it. The games are usually designed in such a way that you can feel success without much effort and make the whole thing addictive! That is something to be warned about. I can already see the kids on iPads go mouldy these days, while the playgrounds outside are empty. You have no advantage. In the worst case scenario, you spend money on it for nothing and nothing. Most of them aren't productive, they just eat your time and when you stop playing it, you ask yourselves:"Why did I do that..."
There are few games that I would consider meaningful for the little pastime in between and these would be games that promote your knowledge, such as "quiz duel" or "fight list".
There is not little time we have, but much time we do not use.
So don't let yourself be distracted, focus on your work, your tasks and goals, and then it's called work work work. Smash it until you are done!
