soon as possible but when completed they don't have any lasting value and not important and not urgent these tasks are usually leisure activities or things you don't really need to do you only want to do doing this will give you a better view on your tasks and which ones need to be dealt with first number 3 learn to delegate so your goal is to do more and less time right because you can't expand time or get more hours in a day you can achieve this by either getting more efficient in how you use your time
you already have and we'll cover this in detail later on or delegate delegating means letting someone else take the lead on your responsibilities and trusting the outcome is the desired one depending on the type of responsibilities you're dealing with you can delegate small tasks like hiring someone to schedule your time during the day or pick up your suit from cleaning or you can go even bigger and delegate work-related tasks this requires a bit of a setup on your side and investing time and finding the right person you can trust but long-term it's worth it number
four start with small tweaks in your schedule you don't need to change everything in your life at once in order to fit a specific time management scheme in there and if you're just beginning to work on this matter it's also not advisable since you most likely will give up easy something small like waking up 10 minutes earlier every morning and cut down 20 minutes of the social media mindless scrolling we'll give you a whole 30 minutes to read more of the things you're interested in or practice a skill you've been putting off for so long
maybe it doesn't sound like that much but 30 minutes per day means 2 hours and 10 minutes every week in which you're working on getting better number 5 set clear deadlines how much time do you have to finish your assignments when do you need to complete your tasks if you don't know these things it might be hard for you to keep track of your time it's easier to be on time and do everything when it should be done if you set clear deadlines for each and every chore if you choose your time limit on each
task it will be easier for you to complete it and keep track of them and also on your time you can mark your deadlines in your list of assignments in your organizer or on your calendar a calendar can be really useful and important if you're trying to manage your time better whether you use a classic paper 1 or an app a calendar can help you know what you have to do and when number 6 plan your meals ahead of time eating takes up a lot of your time and deciding what to eat even more time
up to one hour a day can be shaved off by scheduling your meals in advance if you like home-cooked food allocate 2 to 3 hours every Sunday evening to cook or prepare meals in advance even writing them down helps if you're into takeout make sure to write down a list with the restaurants you're going to order from in advance and try choosing what to eat in advance as well one trick to narrow down your options is by having food themed days make Monday's for eating fish for example and Wednesdays for salads yes this will take
up some time at the beginning as well in order to set up a whole system but it's worth it in the long run and us a Luxor's are all about achieving those long-term goals right number 7 say no to multitasking the multitasking concept refers to a person dealing with more than one task at the same time despite what you may think multitasking is not that efficient and it doesn't save your time on the contrary multitasking will make you complete tasks in low quality and will actually slow you down you also might miss out some important
details when you multitask your attention is divided between two or more tasks which makes your brain switch fast between them instead of focusing on just one to complete it as fast and as well as you can it takes you a few minutes to switch between assignments and start to concentrate again moreover multitasking can take away your ability to think creatively because it takes up a lot of your temporary brain storage so be careful when you do it number eight link your actions to your goals we'll go ahead and assume that if you're watching this video
it means you're trying to achieve higher goals in your life and cut down on the stuff dragging you behind so one way to start managing your time better is to evaluate how what you're doing is related to what you're trying to achieve this is easy to evaluate make two lists one with the goals you're aiming for be it money love luxury whatever it is and another list with the things who are spending time doing if the lists don't align it means you're probably wasting time in the wrong direction and this will probably give you a
useful gauge on your efforts sometimes even people you spend your time with aren't of the best quality so make sure you align the list with your goals with the list of the people you're spending time with as well number nine block out things that can distract you a lot of people have problems with distractions and procrastination those two concepts can keep you from doing your chores and waste your precious time that's why you need to block out any and every distraction put your phone away block out your social media notifications or use an app that
doesn't let you use your phone block the social media sites on your computer or use an extension for this create a workspace set up a place that is only meant for work and completing tasks so your brain can associate that space with work and productivity distractions can easily drag you into a spiral of low productivity and frustration so preventing this can make a huge difference number ten schedule your day ahead of time waking up in the morning without knowing what you have to do during the day can make you either forget important stuff or take
on more responsibilities than you can manage an easy way to do this is by planning your day and every week ahead of time allow half an hour to organize your next week's schedule at the end of each week and take five minutes at night to look at the next day schedule this will help you to become better organized while you spend more time in preparation and planning you'll save tenfold and not have to mend fences and fix bugs down the road you know what goes well with time management a good work ethic and some productivity

waste of time so Ezra saying before try to focus on one task at a time in order for you to feel good and on track with your time number 15 keep your inspiration and motivation after a few days or weeks of continuous work you may feel down or blue and that's normal but it slows you down and makes you sad in this case you need to talk with someone that you find inspirational or with someone that you admire it can be a colleague your friend even your boss the main focus here is for you to
