Manage Your Work Efficiently In Eighteen Minutes.

The first step (5 minutes) is to set up a plan for the day: sitting down on a blank sheet of paper before writing the computer can make your day very successful. What can you accomplish effectively, get you close to your goals, and feel very efficient and successful after the end of each day? Write them down.

Now, more importantly, arrange these things in your calendar and schedule, and arrange the hardest and most important things at the very beginning of the day.

I mean, at the beginning of the day, even before you read the mail.

If your complete list can not be fully arranged on your agenda, rearrange priorities.

This is very effective when you decide when and where to do these things.

A study showed that a group of 30 women agreed to complete breast self-examination within 30 days. Those who knew exactly when and where they would do all completed the activity, while only 53% of them completed self-test activities.

In another study, drug addicts (can you find people who are more stressed?) promise to write a short essay before 5 p.m.

80% of those who planned where to write were completed, and none of them finished.

If you want to finish something, you should make sure that you are ready to execute it in time and place.

Otherwise, remove it from your list.

The second step: refocus 1 minutes per hour.

The second step (1 minutes per hour) refocus: set up your watch, phone or computer ringing every hour, when the alarm rings, breathe deeply, look at your list and ask yourself if your hour is efficient, then look at your calendar and seriously recommitment how you will make use of the next hour.

In this way, manage your day hour after hour, do not let time manage you.

The third step (5 minutes) check: turn off your computer, check your day, which works? Where do you concentrate? Where are you distracted? What you learn from experience helps you to be more effective tomorrow.

The power of a fixed program lies in its predictability.

You do the same thing over and over again in the same way, so the result of the fixed procedure is predictable.

If you choose what you really care about carefully and wisely, and constantly remind yourself to focus, you will always focus.

It's as simple as that.

Fixed procedures enable you to work efficiently.

This fixed procedure may not help you swim across the English Channel with a parade boat with your hands tied, but it can make you feel efficient and successful when you leave the office.

Is this not very important at the end of the day?
