Here are my 7 Tips and Tricks to Get More Things Done in Less Time

1. Knowing your energy type

You should also take into account the time of day that you are most productive. Our epigenetics and biology determine which hormones we are most dominant in, and these hormones determine what times we are most functional and productive at. . You should be able to feel into this and know whether you are a morning, afternoon or evening type of person. Scheduling your tasks and working around your energy flow will set you up for success and help keep you focused on what needs to be done before it never gets done. 

2. Eisenhower Matrix To-Do-List

This strategy is a popular way to determine whether or not you should act on any given task. It involves making an immediate decision about what can be done now, either by yourself or with help from someone else; deciding how much longer we’ll wait before pursuing something more firmly in mind—and then executing those plans as they come up!

3. 80/20 Rule ( Pareto Principle )

In order to be successful at work, it’s important to know when you should focus on essential tasks and activities. Pareto Principle suggests that 20% of your time is spent in critical areas which account for 80%.

4. Time Blocking

Time blocking is a time management method that asks you to divide your day into blocks of time. Each block is dedicated to accomplishing a specific task, or group of tasks, and only those specific tasks. 

5. Exercise

When you’re feeling sluggish and not as productive, it may be because your body is telling you that you need to take a break. To help combat this problem, try implementing an exercise routine into your day. You can do any kind of physical activity – from walking to weight stretching – at almost any time during the day! Plus, exercising regularly will make sure you stay energised enough for work. 

6. Outsource / Delegation & Automate

You can save time by delegating your repetitive tasks to others. It may seem difficult at first, but it will help you become more productive in the long run and give you some free time on your hands.

Consider minimising or eliminating all social media sites and apps on your phone if they are distracting you when trying to concentrate on other tasks. It may also help to work out a schedule for yourself so that no day feels overwhelming.
