Productivity Hacks!

We have all been in the position with lots to do and the time to do it but somehow we get side-tracked, overwhelmed, distracted and end up not getting very far.

Here are some handy hacks that can help you get through that to-do list once and for all.

1. Break work into manageable intervals - 25 minutes is often touted as the ideal time, I generally prefer to do it in longer chunks (1-1.5hrs) but whatever works best for you, don't work for so long that you lose focus.

2. Tackle the most challenging task first - This works so well! Get it out of the way first - you feel a sense of achievement and your mind is clearer to work on other things.

3. Set specific and realistic goals - Plan your day with a clear idea of what you need to do, be REALISTIC, if you manage to finish all your tasks you can always add more!

4. Focus on one task at a time - Do one thing and then move onto the next, try not to multitask as it often leads to several unfinished tasks.

5. Group similar tasks together - Do all your computer tasks together, chores at same time, errands whilst out. This is a much more efficient way of doing things.

6. Keep your email inbox clear - Delete as you go, star important emails if you cant action right away, file anything that clutters up your mail box.
