If you’re an organizing geek like me then you probably can’t work in a messy environment no matter how hard you try to focus. Here are 5 simple tips to make your life a little more easy and boost your productivity:
1. Get A Notebook
I know this is a cliché, but this really works. Tried and tested! Trust me, writing stuff down goes a long way. I know we all have our “no need to write this down, I’ll remember it.” No, you do need to write it down, you won’t remember this otherwise. You can even get a customized notebook to fit your taste so you feel eager to write in it.
2. Make a to-do List
Get one of those to-do lists apps for your phone that reminds you of what’s due and when. Try to finish the smaller tasks first. Follow the 2-minute rule; if it can be done in less than 2 minutes, do it now!
3. Avoid Multitasking
Sometimes we start too many projects at once just to get ahead of work. This almost never works out and you just end up getting exhausted without getting any work done. Focus on the difficult tasks first and leave the easier tasks for later. That way you won’t drive yourself insane trying to complete your tasks.
4. Plan ahead
Always and I mean always plan ahead. Make a habit of making a mental plan of the next day when you lay in bed. Be it your meals, exercise or organizing small tasks. This will prevent you from sitting idle and wasting precious hours away doing nothing.
5. Get Enough Sleep
Sometimes in the race of life, we forget to take care of ourselves. We focus on deadlines and assignments so much that we start to skip meals and sleep without even realizing it. This takes a huge toll on our mental health in the long run.
Turn off unnecessary notifications and take time off of social media when you’re trying to meet those deadlines. And after a long day of work, find time to reward yourself with doing what you truly enjoy.
