Proven Idea #3 for Working Smarter and Not Harder

Today we are talking about proven idea #3 of the 3 ideas for helping you to work smarter and not harder, which is to Limit Yourself To A Few Top-Tier Tasks Per Day. We’ve all been there – staring down the barrel of a task list that is laughably long. The trick to harnessing a work-smarter attitude is to structure your week such that you are only taking on a few top-level projects each day.  For example, don’t schedule back-to-back meetings on the same day you also scheduled an important client presentation, and have a looming project deadline. This is setting yourself up for failure at worst, and creating unnecessary stress at best. You are the only person in control of your schedule, so make it work for you and not against you!  By looking at your week or your month and then evenly spacing out your big-ticket items, you are using wisdom to set you up for success. Depending on the type of work you do, you may even be able to find a pattern in your weekly tasks, and then streamline or eliminate something altogether. Why have three meetings a week when one long one could suffice? Why send out 4 client emails when a single online virtual meeting could get everyone on the same page much faster?  When you take the time to honestly evaluate your schedule, chances are good you will find pockets of wasted time that you can turn into opportunities for working smarter or for recharging, so you are even better equipped to take on whatever is next on your to do list. To download my complimentary Time Log Exercise and help you be even more time efficient, so you are in a higher probability position to achieve your goals, go to: https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/time-log/.  Simple instructions come with the exercise to help you know how to complete the time log. For more help with working smarter and not harder, so you can grow your business and accelerate your results, reach out to me today and schedule your complimentary consultation. Put an end to the procrastination cycle and make progress on your goals with my Guide to Stopping Procrastination!
