Eat the frog! It's so tempting to put off that big thing we are dreading doing. It's so much easier to do the things that you are most comfortable with first. Chances are they are low priority. We tell ourselves we are making progress, but that big task becomes more intimidating over time. If you can rip the Band-Aid off and tackle the big task, it's not only a huge win, it takes away the anxiety going forward. Eating frogs is never fun, but it will give you momentum to continue with the other things on your plate.

Start with what you want to achieve by the end of the day. List all the tasks you need to do. Choose your top 3 by applying Eisenhower's matrix. Allocate time blocks to each of the tasks. Start with the most difficult task- Yes, Eat that frog. Apply time blocking approach. Keep ticking off your to-do lists. Take productive breaks at regular intervals.

Take a break from work. Allocate some time for yourself and breathe slowly and deeply. While breathing, concentrate on aspects of your life that bring you joy. Embrace the feeling of joy before returning to work. Rinse and repeat.

First, do an audit of your tasks... what are the needle movers, what are redundant tasks that can be eliminated and which ones can be outsourced or gotten rid of completely? Once you've done the audit, then prioritize the most challenging task as your first task of the day... ride that wave or momentum to complete the next batch.

As someone managing two autoimmune conditions, I've found dividing tasks into 'energy-giving' and 'energy-draining' categories more effective than a priority matrix. If you can delegate or trade tasks with someone (especially swapping energy-draining tasks for energizing ones), it's ideal. However, if delegation isn't an option, prioritize energy-draining but essential tasks during times of peak capacity (for me, typically in the morning), interspersed with breaks for energy-giving activities. It's about managing your energy wisely to optimize productivity and well-being.

Usando una matriz, hecha con un project fui poniendo los mojones a cumplir, puse las situaciones que iban presentándose (eso es lo bueno de tener pocos y que se puedan abarcar bien). Tengo el tiempo para revisar, ajustar, controlar la ansiedad y saber que lo hago a conciencia.

Here are some great techniques to help you succeed... One way to prioritize tasks is to try using the Eisenhower Matrix: Urgent/important tasks first, then schedule important/not urgent ones. Delegate or ditch the rest. It's also important to remember to say NO to extra work. A lot of people feel guilty about saying no, but knowing your limits is extremely important for avoiding burnout To stay productive, tackle your biggest task first (eat that Frog) and break down large projects into smaller steps. Finally, take short breaks for your sanity and to recharge your energy and make sure to reward yourself for completing tasks!

La matrice Eisenhower classe les taches en fonction de leur importance et de leur urgence. 1. Commencez par dresser la liste de toutes les taches que vous devez accomplir (professionnelles et personnelles) 2. évaluez l'impact de chaque tache sur la réalisation de vos objectifs à long terme. 3. Classez les taches en fonction de leur urgence et des échéances à respecter. 4. Placez chaque tache dans l'une des quatre catégories de la matrice Eisenhower : - Taches importantes et urgentes : à traiter immédiatement - Taches importantes mais non urgentes : planifier leur réalisation - Taches urgentes mais non importantes : déléguer si possible - Taches ni importantes ni urgentes : considérer les éliminer ou les reporter

This is so, so important. A task, made up of a few words on a to-do list, might be frustrating to find overwhelming. Why is this stressing me out? But when we break it down, we begin to see just how many constituent parts it involves - and that is where the overwhelm loves to fester, in the weeds. Once we can see what needs to be done we can: a) get the satisfaction of ticking off those smaller parts, and b) see the end a little clearer!

-In my experience, I always try to applied the 80/20 rule, doing a list of priorities and focus my mind in the 20% of tasks that produce the 80% results -Sometimes is difficult because this 20% is all the efforts that I have been doing day to day and sound like more than a 20% but then I try to remember again all the 80% of results that I’ll have some day and that really focus me to keep going -When I organize my ideas, this don’t let me forget my goals until the lowest and the highest

Reviewing and adjusting priorities is important because with time priorities change. Now, how often we much review and adjust depends on person to person. For some people constant reviewing could be a huge process. For some it brings clarity.

Separate everything into a focus list and a to do list. The focus list is maximum 2 items. Everything else goes on the to do list. Begin only with your focus items, and use a timer to help get a rhythm going. I like 45 mins and a 10 min break. I get up, come back and repeat. I find that focusing just one one task means that I get in the flow and it really helps.

If you're feeling overwhelmed I'd suggest doing a brain dump to get it all out of your head as the first step. Otherwise you don't have the mental bandwidth to do any of the other steps. And then embrace the power of NO. Instead of seeing every No as a loss, with FOMO kicking in. Recognise that every no is what makes the important Yes's possible.

First thing that one can do to get over this feeling of being overwhelmed is to realize and accept that you are not a Superman/Superwomen! Secondly, avoid multi-tasking as a habit Thirdly, identify your main objective/ outcome/goal. Fourthly, segregate your daily/weekly/monthly tasks based on their importance and urgency and their contribution to achieving your main objective/ outcome/ goals. While doing so, you will also be able identify those talks for which you can procrastinate on purpose because of their relative importance. As you keep completing each task, tick them off from your list. At the end of the day, take stock of your to Do list, review your tasks and re-set their priority for the next day. And lastly, do take a break!

I can't stretch on this enough: Take a break! If you feel overwhelmed you don't have the capacity to create proper priorities. You need a break and reset yourself. Otherwise, your nervous system will not be able to let you do prioritizations in a sustainable way. That's exactly when we feel we made wrong decisions or made some changes regarding our tasks and schedules but they still feel overwhelmed. Dependent on what is overwhelming, I suggest to take at least a few hours off, and become clear on what causes the overwhelm. Is a more profound decision needed (e.g. quitting the job), go on a vacation, reset yourself, and find a solution while being in a more peaceful state of mind.

Ponte objetivos que puedas cumplir y que sean desafiantes y tengan un propósito en tu vida y un impacto. Si fracasas en algún lugar, sigue y solamente toma la ense?anza, el aprendizaje. Hiciste lo que pudiste en ese momento con los recursos que tenias, ahora sabes más porque aprendiste. Vas a estar bien.
