As part of my occasional series on managing your time effectively, today I want to share another little nugget with you.
This is probably going to come as a bit of a surprise to you, but don’t multi task! Trying to juggle several jobs at the same time very often means none of them get done effectively. This is because you have to keep reminding yourself about what you are doing, and getting back into the mind set of the task in hand.
Focus on one task at a time and finish it, or get it to the stage where you can’t do any further work on it, then move on to the next.
By avoiding distractions and focusing, you will find you produce better results, and very often in far less time.
How often do we look down at our desk, or on our computer, at the end of the day, and find a range of half finished pieces of work? So try this tip and see if you can start ticking off your action list!
