| Now and then there are moments when we require much more than twenty four hours to fulfil all our duties. In most cases we find time to carry out only urgent tasks, and quite often we hear a certain number of complaints that there is no time to meet close friends, or to visit relatives, or even to devote a couple of hours to ourselves. Is that familiar to you? Imagine that you can slow down the time. It is possible if you know three not complicated suggestions listed below. 1. Do not postpone your tasks. Procrastination isn't only postponing all the tasks, sometimes it is just failure to give privilege when people convince themselves that the small things they do are very important, but putt off those tasks that are really need to be done. It happens in case these duties are not very pleasant, or when a person does not know where to start. Take into account that procrastination does not solve your problems, it may only make them worse. That's why it's reasonable to make a schedule of your urgent tasks in order of decreasing importance, and start with the most essential duties. Do not put off important duties till late evening, it's just a psychological trick. 2. Difficult tasks are to be accomplished first. If you have several duties with same priority, begin with the most complicated task. It is human nature to procrastinate the tasks that seem difficult or unpleasant. It's unpractical both because you waste your time and because the longer you put off the more unrealizable the task would seem. That's why be honest to yourself, and start with difficult duties. 3. If it's possible multitask. Take into consideration the words: if it is possible. For instance, the situation on the road needs your concentration, that is why do not try to settle your business troubles on the telephone while driving. It is a good idea to combine mental tasks with mechanical ones. When you need to water the flowers or to do the dishes, you may start with these duties whilst talking on the telephone. But be sure that your efforts to multitask don't slow down your activity. Try these recommendations on practice, and you'll save a lot of time. But nevertheless, take into consideration that no strategy will work if you waste time on nonproductive activity. Every now and then we tell ourselves that we will look aside just for a minute but then we find it even more difficult to concentrate attention on our obligations. Do not forget a famous proverb: business before pleasure. |
