Hey, we all get busy. Sometimes our mind is cluttered and our lives are as well.
Well, I'm gonna teach you how to manage your time better and even be more
productive and if you stay to the end of this video, I have a master hack
productivity list that is just going to add to what I'm already sharing with you
in this video. Hi, I'm Adriana Girdler, a Productivity
specialist with over 20-plus years in the business. Let me tell you, good time
management is the key, the foundation to being productive and I'm going to share
with you some tried and true techniques that I use all the time and four key
tips that you're gonna want to integrate into your busy schedule today.
Don't create a crazy schedule. It is so easy for us to create a to-do list and
it becomes a laundry list and then we get overwhelmed by that and then all of
a sudden there's no way we're gonna be able to accomplish everything so what I
would like for you to start thinking about is, yeah you can have your list but
prioritize it. Pick one to two main goals and just get that done. If you're gonna
focus on that and not have all those other items present in front of you, I'm
not saying get rid of them but maybe put them aside and just focus on those goals,
it makes a world of a difference from a time management perspective and it puts
you in a positive mindset because you actually got those two core elements
done. When you're done you can rotate it back on to your main list but at the
present moment focus on one to two things that are critical for you to get
done and don't over schedule that list. Pay attention to your calendar. This
actually is a common mistake I see in organizations all the time where people
are so focused on their to-do list for today that they're not taking a look at
their calendar and what I mean by this is you have to constantly take a look at
your calendar from activities you have to do today, tomorrow, this week and even
a month from now and in my world I actually look out months from now
sometimes going into the next year. So that all being said is when you're
trying to be really productive and really manage your time effectively, you
want to focus on your one to two goals as I said in the other tip, but you have
to take into account what else is coming down the pike so don't just focus on
today; integrate and look at your calendar so you can see what else you
have to do because maybe just five minutes here
or a half-hour there in regards to those future activities can make a huge
difference because a little bit does go a long way. Are you ready to get back on
track and not be overwhelmed? Write down less stress in the comments
below DON'T OVERWORK YOURSELF. If you're gonna be the master of your time and
learn how to manage it properly, well then you've really got to take into account
how you're working. Stress levels can get really high and you don't want to
constantly be plugging in things that you have to do so schedule in some rest
time. That's really important, it's important to your well-being and your
health and it's going to make a huge difference. Now if you're saying, Adriana,
I'm so busy I can't do it, I get it. You may want to put some rules into
place like if you have kids you're not gonna check any of your emails till they
go to bed, okay, fine, I get it. Or you may want to say, you know what? The weekend
truly is my time, Saturday there's nothing, Sunday during the day there's
nothing, but on Sunday evening I'm gonna prep for the following week. That's okay
too, but you really got to balance it out. Fit rest time into your schedule. Have
you ever heard of burnout? We all been there one time or another, if it hasn't
been burning out at work, it's probably been burn out at home because not only
do we have these time commitments and obligations from a work perspective, if
you have a family I'm sure you have lots of them going on at home, too. You've got
to schedule in some time for yourself. Now, how is this going to help you from being
a master of your time and ensuring that you're really good with your time
management? It's huge! Sometimes five minutes of de-stressing can do just that:
help you de-stress and look at things in a different light
so schedule some time for yourself, you really are important. Just like on the
plane when they tell, when the oxygen mask falls off, don't put it on the kid
first, put it on you, then put it on the kid because guess what? You can't help
anybody if you yourself are not focusing on you and helping yourself, so schedule
some time for yourself, you are worth it. Implement all these tips and you can
manage your time better with these. Now that you know how to manage your time
