Common conclusions
The first step to doing something is to know what you should do and when. It is always a good idea to make a list of the things you have to do, so you start addressing it one by one. Get into the habit of noting down the things that you have to do and create a schedule for the same. Many successful people start their day with a to-do list and you can do the same too for better productivity.
When you give in to distractions, you tend to get sidetracked with your tasks and over time, the distractions take over your scheduled work. Limit your time on social media and schedule a specific time in which you'll browse through it. Likewise, set aside some time for your news and browsing that is not directly related to your work or goals. Creating a schedule and sticking to it can go a long way in helping you avoid distractions.
Life can become monotonous and soon you'll lose track of time. To avoid this, take small, but frequent breaks from what you're doing, so you not only stay on top of your time but also end up being productive. During this break time, do something that you love such as listening to music, taking a walk, or just about anything relaxing, so you feel rejuvenated to get back to work.
Psychologists world over agree that the enormity of the task is more overwhelming than the task itself. In others, convincing your mind to do a task is the difficult part. So, start with the hardest task first and get it out of your way as soon as you can. This will greatly reduce your workload and will also give you the confidence to complete the rest of the items on your list quickly. As a result, all the work is done within the schedule and there's no procrastination whatsoever.
Goals give a sense of direction to your work and help you to complete within a stipulated time. It will also make you accountable, so the chances for you to procrastinate is less. An even better option is to tell a well-wisher about your goal and the efforts you're taking towards it as this can motivate you to reach your goals faster.
Great! This will give you better control over your time and can help to be more productive.
It's about time you start timing yourself as you'll know how you're spending each time and the idea that you should complete a task within a certain time can make you more accountable. Start with a timer on your watch or phone and try to get better at the same task.
