  • Set goals and rewards
  • Setting your goals is crucial for planning your day by setting your goals.You can create proper targets and you won't fall off schedule. Before deciding your objectives you have to look deeply inside and ask yourself if you want to achieve those things. Knowing your ambitions can help you maximize your productivity, help you to see the bigger picture and help you do as many things as possible in your 24 hours. Also after every goal that you achieve you can reward yourself. These rewards can go from sweets to food to short periods of time in which you do nothing relax.
  • Prioritize your tasks
  • Sometimes you can't do everything or you don't have enough time to do it. That's why it's important to set your priorities right an effective way to do this is to manage your priorities by dividing them into the following categories: Important and urgent - Tasks that need to be done right away Important but not urgent - Tasks that appear important you can decide when to do them, but not before the first category Urgent but not important - Tasks that need to be done as soon as possible, but when completed they don't have any lasting value and Not important, and not urgent - These tasks are usually leisure activities or things You don't really need to do you only want to do. Doing this will give you a better view on your tasks, and which ones need to be dealt with first.
  • Start with small tweaks in your schedule
  • You don't need to change everything in your life at once in order to fit a specific time management scheme in there. And if you're just beginning to work on this matter it's also not advisable since you most likely will give up easy. Something small like waking up 10 minutes earlier every morning and cut down 20 minutes of the social media mindless scrolling will give you a whole 30 minutes to read more of the things you're interested in or practice a skill you've been putting off for so long. Maybe it doesn't sound like that much but 30 minutes per day means 2 hours and 10 minutes every week in which you're working on getting better.
  • Set clear deadlines
  • How much time do you have to finish your assignments when do you need to complete your tasks if you don't know these things. It might be hard for you to keep track of your time. It's easier to be on time and do everything when it should be done if you set clear deadlines for each and every chore. If you choose your time limit on each task it will be easier for you to complete it and keep track of them and also on your time you can mark your deadlines in your list of assignments in your organizer or on your calendar. A calendar can be really useful and important if you're trying to manage your time better whether you use a classic paper 1 or an app a calendar can help you know what you have to do and when.
  • Say no to multitasking
  • The multitasking concept refers to a person dealing with more than one task at the same time despite. Multitasking is not that efficient, and it doesn't save your time on the contrary. Multitasking will make you complete tasks in low quality and will actually slow you down you also might miss out some important details. When you multitask your attention is divided between two or more tasks, which makes your brain switch fast between them instead of focusing on just one to complete it as fast and as well as you can. It takes you a few minutes to switch between assignments and start to concentrate again moreover. Multitasking can take away your ability to think creatively. Because it takes up a lot of your temporary brain storage so be careful when you do it
  • Schedule your day ahead of time
  • waking up in the morning without knowing what you have to do during the day can make you either forget important stuff or take on more responsibilities than you can manage an easy way to do. This is by planning your day and every week ahead of time. allow half an hour to organize your next week's schedule at the end of each week and take five minutes at night to look at the next day schedule. this will help you to become better organized while you spend more time in preparation and planning. You'll save tenfold and not have to mend fences and fix bugs down the road.
  • Don't forget to have fun
  • Don't try to check off everything on your list of assignments and forget to have fun and unwind every once in a while. Try and enjoy every task that you're completing and enjoy a healthy work-life balance. Rushing through tasks may reduce their quality and will surely leave you tired at the end of the day. Find something that you like about each and every chore you have to do and focus mainly on that thing. See the beauty in everything and appreciate it. It's crucial to feel good while you work because if you're happy you'll be more productive. You'll relax better in your free time and you'll be a more positive person.
