Minimize distractions
This is important as it allows you to focus on the task at hand without being interrupted or diverted.
When you’re working on a task, it’s easy to get side-tracked making it difficult to concentrate and be productive… and it can also cause you to lose track of time. By minimising distractions, you can reduce the number of interruptions you face and create a more conducive environment for work.
So, turn off those notifications on your mobile, close those unnecessary tabs on your computer, or find a quiet, distraction-free environment if you need to spend some time online or doing some admin on your computer.
It all goes to help you stay focused and work more efficiently, which can help you to better manage your time.
Delegating tasks whenever possible
This allows you to free up your own time and focus on the most important tasks.
If you can, delegating tasks to others takes advantage of the skills and ability of others to get things done more efficiently. This helps to reduce your workload and allows you to focus on the tasks that are most important to you.
Delegating tasks also helps to develop the skills and capabilities of others, which helps your team. It also helps to foster a sense of teamwork and collaboration, which improves morale and productivity.
See delegating tasks as a way to work more efficiently and effectively, and as helping to build a stronger, more cohesive team.
Learn to say no
This is important for allowing you to prioritise your tasks and focus on the things that are most important to you. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by requests from others, whether it’s from colleagues, friends, or family members. These requests take up a lot of your time and energy, causing you to lose focus and become less productive.
