●Write it down

Don’t rely on your memory to keep track of every little detail. 1. Write down the things you need to do in a small notebook, or use online tool to create and update your “to-do” list.

2.

Working for long periods without a break can waste your time. It is more efficient to work or study for a shorter period of time, take a break, and then go back to work. You may get more done in tow focused 45-minute sessions.

● One thing at a time

3. Do one thing at a time, and do it well. As the Chinese proverb says, “One cannot manage too many affairs. Like pumpkins in the water, one pops up while you try to hold down the other.”

● Schedule email time

On your cell phone you get a notification every time someone sends you an email. If so, you have to check your email many, many times a day. 4. Schedule time to check your email. It doesn’t matter when.

● Choose to say “No”.

It’s easy to become overwhelmed if we say “yes” to everything. Think about the task before you commit to it. Do you need to do it? Can someone else do it? Avoid saying “yes” to every request. 5.

● Keep a goal journal

Write down your goals in a journal and evaluate them regularly. Mark your progress for each goal. Be sure you take the necessary step to achieve your goals.

A. Make a list first

B. Don’t skip the breaks

C. Turn that notification off

D. Memory is not always accurate

E. Don’t forget to focus on your task

F. This takes time away from more important tasks

G. Every time we switch from one task to another, we lose focus
