HOW TO GET THINGS DONE!

HOW TO GET THINGS DONE!

Each day awaken by 5.00 am, then take out a blank piece of paper and write down the most important six things you would wish to accomplish that day. Write them in order of priority. Then immediately start acting on the first item.?

For each item break down the task into chunks of 20 minutes each. Focus intensely throughout these 20 minutes without any distractions or breaks. After each 20-minute session take a five-minute break. Repeat this process for three consecutive sessions and then take a longer 30-minute break. Repeat the entire process throughout the day until you complete an item on the list. Then take a longer one-hour break and after the break move to the next item on the list. You can use a simple timer on your phone or install a Pomodoro app.

Don’t move on to the next task until you have finalized the previous one. Gradually move down the list. Repeat this process the following day. Transfer any unfinished tasks from the previous day onto the new list. Remember to keep the list to a maximum of only six items.

This simple practice forces you to prioritize and focus your day on the most important things in your life. It also helps you to curb the destructive habit of procrastination. Through this simple routine, you are able to break down big goals into small daily tasks which you can easily accomplish. Success is a matter of making each day more successful than the previous one. And making each day successful is a matter of making each task successful. All you need is a simple to-do list and a timer.
