Habits That Help You to Get More Done in Less Time
Just make a bit of important progress every day.
The reason I’m always looking for ways to get more done in less time is that there are many other things in life I enjoy.
It’s all about optimizing your time so you get the most out of every hour you work. It’s about working smarter and being more effective.
Here are 4 habits that will help you to achieve that.
1. Begin at night
Some days, you wake up without clarity. You feel like you’re one step behind on the day. It’s like the day owns you, and not the other way around.
And then, you’re constantly thinking: What should I do now?
Those types of small decisions take time and energy. It’s easier to be productive when you’ve pre-planned your tasks the previous night. You’ll wake up with clarity. And you know exactly what you want to get out of your day.
So try making a list of your top 3–4 tasks for the following day.
While it’s simple advice, it’s hard to apply because life gets in the way. We are often tired at the end of the day. The last thing we want to do is to plan the next day.
