HOW TO GET MORE DONE IN LESS TIME ⏰🙌🏼
We’ve all done this: you decide to tidy your living-room and take the coffee cups ☕️ to the kitchen; then you empty the dishwasher and wipe the surfaces; you decide to wash the dishcloth and realise the machine is full of dry clothes 👖that need putting away; you put the towels away and spot the hoover; you vacuum the whole house and so on and so forth…
At all times you’re very busy but you're not actually doing the ONE thing you set out to do – tidy the living room.
That’s the same with our business – how many times have you caught yourself with 14 tabs open on your browser and realise you’re multi-tasking?
Multi-tasking robs you of productivity.
This was the way I functioned for a very long time. Multi-tasking everything.
That’s what women do, right?
Wrong. Men have got it right here, ladies.
I know I’m grossly generalising here - that’s only to bring home the point...
We aren’t serving ourselves or others when we try to do 15 things at once.
Here’s a fact that will stop you in your tracks...
Did you know - it takes THIRTEEN minutes for our brains to get refocused on what we were doing before we get distracted by something else. 😵
Think about how many lots of 13 minutes we can waste every day not to mention how draining this is for our brain.
In my video today, I shared 3 things you can do to get more done in less time:
1) Switch off all distractions – turn your phone on airplane mode.
2) Set a timer – this keep you aware and focussing on the ONE task at hand.
3) Batch jobs – do similar things at the same time.
Tell us in the comments, what do you do to keep focussed on one thing at a time?
