You have your goals planned, but when it comes to the day to day operation, you don’t know where to start ! Or worse, you have a 4 pages to do list !
Here are few tips to see clearer on your day to day tasks and reduce proscratination (a nice word to say to postpone a task from a day to the next and never perform it).
Lets first check what is on your to do list:
- thinks to do now of which few are very Urgent and Important.
- thinks to remember to do later
- thinks you will never do, and keep adding to your list.
What is for a later date should be clearly identified as such and added to your calendar at the right date.
The aim of this is to free your mind, so that you don’t feel insecure on the day to day operation, with the feeling you forgot this important task.
If you use a paper calendar, just divide each page vertically in 2 and add on the left side what is “to do” on this date. If you use a computer agenda, create a “Todo” agenda, and add the event for the right day.
When you come to this date, either you do it and strike it out, or you don’t do it and reschedule it to the next day (or a later date).
If you have reschedule a task 3 times already, no need to reschedule, you won’t ever do it (hard to admit, but so true).
Try it, and let me know how it worked for you.
