Urgent and Important: Handle these first (e.g., deadlines). Important but Not Urgent: Schedule for later (e.g., long-term goals). Urgent but Not Important: Delegate or minimize (e.g., interruptions).
Set specific blocks of time for each task or project during the day. This helps create focused work sessions without multitasking, improving productivity and efficiency.
Work in 25-minute intervals (Pomodoros) followed by 5-minute breaks. After four Pomodoros, take a longer break (15-30 minutes). This method helps maintain focus and prevents burnout.
– Specific – Measurable – Achievable
Identify distractions (e.g., social media, phone notifications) and take active steps to minimize them. Consider setting specific times to check emails or using productivity apps to block distracting sites during work hours.
