When you're a mother, employee or entrepreneur, lover, daughter and more, the to-do list can quickly grow and it can be difficult to prioritize. To help you plan your weeks and efficiently accomplish everything that needs to be done , follow these tips.
Differentiate between what is urgent and what is important
The urgent task cannot wait and must absolutely be completed as quickly as possible . The important task, on the other hand, does not require immediate attention, but remains essential to achieving objectives.
Identify the most productive moments
When it comes time to schedule the various tasks to be accomplished in your weekly schedule , make sure to do so according to your work rhythm and your ability to concentrate fully depending on the time of day . So make sure not to schedule an important meeting at the end of the day if you are generally more tired at this time and instead put your brainstorming periods in the early morning if you are the type to have your best ideas when you wake up.
Allow enough time for each task
To avoid feeling like you're always falling behind on your to-do list , make sure you're setting aside enough time for each task you need to accomplish . Most importantly, be realistic and remember to account for inevitable distractions.
Know how to delegate
If your to-do list seems too big for the amount of time you actually have in a week, take a moment to evaluate whether some tasks could be delegated instead . Sometimes, it can be more cost-effective to pay someone to do the task for you rather than you taking the time to do it yourself.
Finally, although the electronic version of the famous to-do list is sometimes practical, a paper version will allow you to always have easy access to your weekly or daily schedule!
