how to increase productivity and manage everything?

You need to keep concentration on important tasks without being distracted by surfing of interesting sites and applications, searching for something unnecessary on the Internet, scrolling news feeds of various social networks. There are several simple rules, applying which you can easily prioritize and manage more than planned. I'm not saying that these recommendations are more suitable for fans of "pulling rubber." These tips will be useful to everyone, to keep everything in order, to fit into the schedule and to achieve the impossible.

• Be sure to plan your day. In the evening, write down all the tasks that you want to do tomorrow. But in the morning, choose from the list only three of them, which you will necessarily do for your "working" day. This is a prioritization that will allow you to concentrate as much as possible and not be distracted by all sorts of trivia. Once you have chosen three tasks, immediately proceed to their implementation and by the end of the day you will see that you have easily done everything planned.
• First of all, take up difficult and unpleasant things. It is clear that you want to postpone them to "later", but at the end of the day you will be tired, and for sure these difficult tasks will smoothly switch to "tomorrow." Better with fresh forces and a clear head to deal with them, then to move on to easier and more interesting tasks. Having coped with a difficult task, you will experience an uplift of mood and pleasure from the very fact: "I did it!".
• Planning your schedule is easy when you know your rhythm of work. Here it is easiest for me to work in the evening, you can have it morning or afternoon. It is in this peak of productivity and put the performance of complex or voluminous tasks. This is "your" time. In another period, plan to perform tasks that are not associated with increased attention.
  "Do not be perfectionists!" Do not get hung up on one task and bring it to the ideal, then there is not enough time to perform the remaining tasks. It is enough to work on it in such a way as to remain a happy result. Calmly go to the next. If you have time at the end of the day, go back to the task, take the result with a fresh look. If something does not like it, you can always correct it and change it.
• Do not reinvent the wheel. If there is an opportunity to delegate part of the task, do not hesitate to do this. Look for simple ways to accomplish this, it will greatly facilitate your existence. Why waste your time, understand the profile problem, when there are competent specialists who will be able to cope with it in a matter of hours. It only remains to accept the result of their work.
• Take for a rule to close all unnecessary tabs in the browser - social networks, interesting sites, Skype and other messengers. All of them are a powerful distraction, which makes it difficult to concentrate on the fulfillment of the main tasks.
• I want to upset you, the ability to perform several tasks at the same time and to obtain an excellent result is a myth. In this case, your productivity is reduced by 40%, and the level of intelligence falls by 10 points. So choose one task, do it and do not get distracted. In this case it will be faster and better.
• Do not browse every minute of your email services. Any letter can wait a couple of hours. Determine the time to work with them: read slowly and answer in detail. If you have a lot of correspondence - allocate two or three periods for working with letters.
• Apply the "two minute rule". If you can do some work in a couple of minutes, you have to do it right away. Do not include it in the plan, do not think about it for too long, but take it and right now do it.
• Control the time taken by various trips to meetings, meetings. Analyze how much time is spent on various discussions "about nothing." Always think before confirming the next invitation, whether it is possible to solve the problem by phone, Skype or send information by mail. Try to protect your time and time of the interlocutor. According to statistics, each month is spent more than 30 hours for meetings that are useless for anyone.
• During the work before deadline you have to work late, sometimes even at night. But remember how you feel the next day. The only desire is to have a good night's sleep. Therefore, the pledge of excellent work is a healthy dream. - It is important not only to start the work on time, but also to finish it on time. Then during the whole worker you will be vigorous and productive.
• Try to take a short break at the slightest sign of fatigue. Sometimes it's enough to get up and make a cup of coffee to feel more cheerful. Do not think that it is better to finish the work by all means, and then relax. Productivity after a short break is higher and you will do your job faster.
• Be self-controlled. Be sure to specify the terms in which you really accomplish the tasks, and perform them necessarily. Think carefully about what you need to do by the end of the working day, which - by the end of the week. And maybe a month is needed for high-quality execution of the case?
• Be sure to write down everything planned on the calendar or in the diary. Because a goal that is not recorded is a dream. Only if the goals are written down, they become the most optimal plan. Be sure to put a deadline for the tasks, try to meet them. For better motivation, you can tell about your plans to others.
• Be sure to get your blog. It only seems at first glance that it falls out of general recommendations. In fact, it is very convenient to record your goals, monitor their implementation. Many people are stimulating this, because, having voiced the goal, it is necessary to work and to achieve its fulfillment. If you are conducting a large project, it is very convenient to summarize the results of different stages in the blog, to talk about the work done, to set the following goals.
  "Learn to say no." I'm not saying that you should deny everyone. Learn not to burden yourself with the unbearable burden of various obligations and instructions. For example, if you accurately understand that it is impossible to fulfill the proposed task in the specified time, it's better not to promise and do not charge it. It's much easier to say that you can not do it. Believe me, it will be easier to live at once.
• In order to be always in shape, it is not necessary to engage in professional sports. It's enough not to be lazy and regularly do what you like most. It can be a walk or jogging, an evening lesson in the fitness club.
• Although they say that a creative person should have a special mess on the desktop. In fact, this is not so. The workplace should be in perfect order. Be sure to bring cleanliness, throw all the garbage that you find. Disassemble the papers from which the table simply breaks. Agree that it became more pleasant to work!
• And most importantly - love what you do. Of course, many will disagree with this. After all, every coin has its own flip side. But if you really like your occupation, then you will make it with great desire and pleasure, despite all the "working" moments and disadvantages.
