To realize how much you need to accomplish and how much you've already accomplished, consider making a list. To avoid doing secondary tasks and accumulating essential ones, keep the order of priorities in mind. You can make a list of short, medium, or long-term goals by assigning a specific date for each activity.

Eliminate Distractions

Initially, a simple notification wastes our time without counting the time it takes to refocus on our work. Even the smallest of distractions can put us in a vicious cycle and waste a lot of our time.

To avoid this, the Coldturkey application can help us. But to really eliminate distractions and save time, it is essential to strengthen our self-discipline. It is through self-discipline that one can concentrate better and more easily ignore distractions.

When we switch tasks, our brain needs time to adapt to make the transition. Therefore, to waste less time, it is essential to group the small tasks and choose a time to take care of them.

By transferring a task to someone else, you can free yourself several minutes or even several hours of work. Delegating also allows you to benefit from the expertise of others.

When you lack the know-how to accomplish something, you have a better time delegating the work to someone who has it. So not only will we get better quality work, but we will also get it faster.

How much time do we waste every day looking for our keys, searching our files to find a document, looking through our inbox to find an attachment? These are hours and hours we are wasting every year. To save time, you have to get into the habit of putting everything in its place.

Put your keys always in the same place, keep your files always in the same folders, save attachments in specific categories of our email box, and more. These small daily gestures can save us hours in the long term.

You can automate many repetitive tasks. For example, posts on social networks, invoices, passwords that we keep retyping are actions that can easily be transferred to a program, so we no longer have to deal with them.

Something as simple as learning keyboard shortcuts can save us a lot of time in the long run. For example, if you do specific actions three times faster, you will take three times less time; it's that simple.

To avoid spending hours behind the stove after a day full of activities, do not hesitate to cook in quantity. Then, you can either serve them again the next day or freeze them. Thus, you will have a meal ready to eat each day.
