in that takes me less than 5 minutes, I immediately knock it out. That could be an
email request
of someone needing a file, or me delegating a quick task to a team
member. It's the volume of tasks and emails that stress us out the most. So by
getting things done immediately,
in the moment, I don't have to worry about it
later and let that anxiety build. (2). Live by your to-do list. Write everything
down, big and small. Divide your tasks by day and
get the most crucial tasks
done first thing in the morning to build momentum, reduce stress and make sure
you hit your deadlines. Any task you didn't accomplish
on the day should be
transferred to tomorrow's list and if nothing else, you'll get it done out of sheer
annoyance from writing the same task each day. (3).
Get into an end-of-day
routine. The last thing I do for the day is completely clean and organize my desk.
I write tomorrow's to-do list to brain dump everything that's on my mind so I can
be present with my family (and not let mind chatter get in the way of my free
time). By leaving my desk organized
at the end of the day, I can come in the
next morning and feel fully energized to take on the day. By managing hundreds
of clients with thousands of to-do's, in addition
to my team and online platform,
I've had to learn how to completely maximize my productivity. Of course there's
a lot more I could share so let's stay connected and I'm happy to continue to
teach you what I know. Hang in there and keep fighting for your dreams!
