Make a to-do list, then cover it up. It may sound weird, but it works, says Jessica Carlson, an account executive at Bluefish Design Studio which is an advertising consulting firm. Carlson urges her team to utilize to-do lists to stay on track and highlight items that are a priority. Cover up the list, with the exception of one high-priority task at one time, she suggests. This will allow you to focus better on the task at hand; otherwise, it will be easy to get overwhelmed if youre reading through a to-do list that spans an entire page. Concentrating on a single item will make your tasks appear like they are more doable, Carlson says.
Stop multitasking. Despite what you may consider multitasking, its counterproductive. Unless youre drinking coffee while scanning your morning e-mails, youre not saving any time by attempting to do ten things at once. If you find yourself getting tangled in too many things, it may be of much necessity of you to re-evaluate your involvement, Rudy says. Your mind will wander from one topic to another and you may end up never accomplishing a thing. Rudy recommends the best way to stop multitasking is to create priority lists with deadlines. When applicable, complete one project before you move further on to the next one, he says.
Set time limits. Deborah Chaddock-Brown, a work-at-home single parent, says shes frequently overwhelmed by the demands of maintaining order in her residence and running her own business. Still, she manages to do it all by setting a time limit for each task. I have the type of personality that flits from thing to thing because I do have so much on my plate, Brown says. As a consequence I assign time slots: For the next 15 minutes I will participate in social media for the purpose of marketing my business and that is the only thing I am about to do for the next 15 minutes. When the time is up, I move on to the next task. That way, at night I dont end up with a pile of tasks to accomplish even though I felt busy all day.
