Tackle the Hard Tasks First<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIt may be tempting to schedule the simple, less-time consuming stuff first, just to get them out of the way. However, tackling your hardest, most challenging tasks first thing will magically make the rest of your schedule go over smoother, if you believe it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During those early morning hours, you\u2019re at your most optimistic, most energetic. It\u2019s the ideal time to sit down and enter a laser focus zone. Scheduling tasks during this time where you\u2019re less likely to be distracted, especially by things further in the day, works wonders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot of people find that those hours between the early morning hours such as 5 or 6 a.m are their best uninterrupted time, and they use this time to get the most important things done. Trust us, you\u2019ll get more done this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take Baby<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo one starts out on their schedule journeys and immediately follows a schedule that\u2019s exact or strenuous as, for example, Oprah\u2019s or Elon Musk. These figures have had years to perfect their schedules and what works for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now, the trick is to start small and figure out what\u2019s best for you<\/em>. Yes, there\u2019s a rush of energy inside you right now that makes you impulsively decide to upheaval your entire routine and revisit all choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut guess what? The bigger, the more dramatic you go, the harder it is to keep up with the follow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why starting with baby steps is integral. Try incorporating one new habit or trick into your daily schedule at a time. It takes anywhere from 18 to 66 average days to successfully form a habit. Sticking to a schedule is a process, not just something that clicks<\/em>. Pace yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt may help to follow a predetermined method to find your footing. There\u2019s the MIT method, which stands for the Most Important Task. As we mentioned earlier, the most important tasks are best placed at the top of your to-do list. The MIT method calls for locating one to three of the most vital things you need to tackle and urges you to tackle them first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can\u2019t get your mind to focus on a single task? Try the 90-minute cycle. Like any other human being, most people struggle with keeping the same level of concentration throughout the day. It\u2019s normal. Expected. That\u2019s why it\u2019s smarter to arrange your schedule around these periods of when you expect to be productive and when you know you\u2019re likely to need a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arrange 90-minute periods of productivity and promise yourself a rewarding 20 minute break. You never know. Maybe your mind will find it easier to focus when you know a break is coming up soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
