Getting Things Done Effectively

Get Things Done

“You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.” —Tony Robbins

This is my experience. I have written down a list of things to do and the list remains as it is. The things never get done. The fact is that I have not assigned a date and a time to do it let alone when I want to complete the tasks. Getting things done with a time frame means you will identify a suitable time slot to get the job done. At the same time, you will avoid procrastination and use your time effectively and productively. How do you get things done within a time frame? Here are the five tips:

1. Allocate time for the task: Whenever you have a job to do ask yourself when you want to get the job done. Check your daily to-do list and slot in an appropriate time frame.

2. Break down your major goals into smaller tasks: As an example, you want to write 192 articles in a year. It means you need to write 16 articles per month or 4 articles in a week. When you know your weekly goals your daily tasks will be easier to organize and execute.

3. Manageable: Make sure that the daily tasks are not overwhelming. Do revision to make it achievable.

4. Review: Look at your daily activities to see if you can arrange to get more things done. Changes in your major goals will warrant making changes in your daily tasks as well.

5. Peak performance: When do you perform better? For me, my best output time is in the morning so I assign difficult tasks in the morning

Always make the things you want to accomplish time-sensitive. Things never get done without assigning a time to do them.
