Too Much to Do in Too Little Time
“Good things take time. Great things take a long time. And the best things take the longest time.” - Unknown
The most typical kind of anxiety we experience is the sensation of being overwhelmed by much too much to do and having too little time to perform it. In reality, "time poverty" is the most massive single problem facing many American supervisors today.
We don't have sufficient time to meet all of our responsibilities. Due to funding constraints, staff cutbacks, downsizing, and competitive pressures, human managers have to take on more and more work, all of which seem crucial to our business or department's smooth operation.
Solutions:
1. Become a Pro
The remedy for this issue of work overload would be that you become an expert in time management. There's most likely no other ability you could learn which will provide you a "bigger bang for your buck" than to become knowledgeable and experienced at utilizing time management procedures.
2. Keep Learning
The fact is that you can study time management and take time management courses for your entire business life, and you will still never learn everything you need to know to get the most out of yourself while doing your job most efficiently.
3. Eat That Frog
If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.
This is another way of saying that if you have two important tasks before you, start with the biggest, hardest, and most important tasks first. Discipline yourself to begin immediately and then persist until the task is complete before you go on to something else.
The code to leading high accomplishment and productivity levels is to develop the permanent habit of grabbing your primary task first thing each morning. It would be best if you originated the routine of "eating your frog" before doing anything else without taking too much time to think about it.
4. Become pro at Time Management
Never leave till tomorrow that which you can do today.
The crucial keys for Time Management would be:1) the capacity to establish priorities; and 2) the capability to focus single-mindedly on a single thing at one time. As there's insufficient time to do all that has to be finished, you must continually prioritize your activities. Perhaps the best question which you can memorize and repeat, over and above, is, "what's your most valuable use of the time at this time?"
You can use timeTracko to manage your time.
5. Motivate Yourself
If it's hard to get it done, think of this.
"I can accomplish my goal."
"I have the energy and motivation to act and do whatever I want or have to do."
"Doing things makes me stronger."
"I have the inner strength to do anything I want to do."
"I can easily awaken motivation in me."
"I do everything now, not later."
"Doing things makes things happen."
6. Delegate but don't multitask
Hire employees or freelancers. There is an abundance of alternatives available to delegate tasks.
7. No Multitasking
Multitasking means continuously switching between tasks. It Impacts your short-term memory, leads to increased anxiety, inhibits creative thinking, stops you from getting into a state of flow, causes more mistakes and less productivity.
8. Reward Yourself after completion of the task
If you want to motivate yourself, this can encourage you to do more.
The only person who can reward you for your efforts is YOURSELF. The only person who can motivate you to keep going is also YOURSELF.
9. Stay Disciplined.
With self discipline most anything is possible.
