To help improve our daily deadlines, both personal and professional, we decided you must hold every single moment of your time to improve a positive impact. A good place to start is by eliminating your timewasters. Tip #1 - Establish Routines and Stick to Them as Much as Possible We all know that sometimes life gets the best of us, however, staying on task and following a routine will help you stay more productive and balanced, and keeps you less fogged on what you need to accomplish the next day. Tip #2 - Overcome Procrastination Procrastination and overthinking will harm creativity and productivity. It can result in wasteful time and energy, so try not to feel overwhelmed or stressed. To avoid feeling overloaded schedule a day in the park to relax, schedule small and fun activities, or planned a self-care day to clear your mind. "Your reality is yours. Stop wasting time looking at someone else's reality while doing nothing about yours." – Steve Harvey Tip #3 - Avoid Multitasking A lot of us feel like multitasking is an efficient way of meeting deadlines. However, the truth is when you focus on one task at a time, you're able to concentrate: instead of having rushing thoughts. Take your time. Tip #4 - Start Your Day Early How many of us honestly wake up at 10 A.M. and by the time you're ready to start the day it's already noon? Successful people have one thing in common they start their day early to meditate and plan. When you get up early you experience a clear head, creativity, and peace. Note to self: If you're not a morning person, set your alarm 10-30 minutes earlier than your normal time and work on your progress every day to meet your goal. Tip #5 - Take Breaks You may think working 4 straight hours at a time keeps you focused, but it doesn't. Truth is that our focus lasts only 30 minutes and the more you work without a break the less productive you'll be. Example: You're working on a task but stop to answer the unimportant phone call/ text message, or glance on social media. Give yourself a 5–10-minute break window in between projects and focus. It's very important that you are kind to yourself, you and your health come first.
