Common conclusions
Social media is undoubtedly a great way to keep in touch with your friends and family members, but the downside is that it gets you distracted from work. Frequency checking of messages on social media will consume more time than you'd imagine and this can disrupt your entire routine. Instead of seeing messages at any time, allot half an hour or one hour every day for social media messages and enjoy this time. During the remaining times, keep them away from your thoughts.
Writing a to-do list along with a scheduled time for each task can go a long way in boosting your productivity. Though it may seem like a waste of time to spend a few minutes on this job every day, you'll be surprised at the overall productivity and how much of work you're able to get in within the allotted time.
News is as distracting as social media. Though staying on top of what's happening around you is important, limit it to a few minutes every couple of hours. Skim through the headlines and spend no more than 10 minutes once every two hours looking at the news. Honestly, nothing more than that is going to happen within two hours that would require your attention!
A simple alarm on your phone can remind you to stay motivated and focused on your job. If you're working on the computer, online alarms and notifications work great too! Regardless of the job, allot a time based on the exhaustiveness and the amount of effort and make sure you push yourself to complete it.
As counterproductive as this may sound, taking breaks or giving some rest to your mind and body is absolutely essential. Depending on the kind of work you do and its load, you can set aside a few minutes every few hours for meditation or to listen to your favorite song. This will refresh and rejuvenate you to complete the rest of the work within the fixed time again.
Move the maximum number of jobs or the important ones to the time of the day when you're likely to feel highly energized. This will fix your disturbed routine with better focus and productivity.
Though perfection is a great trait, it is also hard to achieve especially in all the tasks that you do through the day. In fact, when you spend too much energy or focus on every task, it can leave you feeling drained and even frustrated. To save yourself from all this trouble, pick the tasks that need most focus and strive to achieve perfection in them.
Great! Do the best you can, just make sure you don't overrun the allotted time.
