You might think you're getting more done by multitasking, but in reality, switching between tasks reduces efficiency and increases errors.
Setting Clear Goals
The SMART goals framework
Set goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This ensures clarity and focus in everything you do.
Prioritization: Urgent vs. Urgent Urgent Urgent Urgent important tasks
Use tools like the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance. Not everything needs to be done immediately!
Breaking down large projects into smaller steps
Tackle overwhelming projects by dividing them into manageable chunks. This makes progress easier and more measurable.
Time Management Strategies
The Pomodoro Technique
