1. Saying “no” to the things you think can waste your timeSometimes we are caught in a dilemma of pleasing others as well as ourselves. We tend to do certain things just because someone expects them from you. Sure, you can go ahead and make them happy but only when you have free time to do so.2. Make a to-do list and follow it.I am sure many of you already have a to do list but how many of you follow it religiously. Making a to do list isn’t much of a pain than to follow it. if you cannot keep a track of your to do list then set a reminder for the same or paste it on your mirror or on the car dashboard. This will make it grab your attention and there are fewer chances to forget things.
3. Setting yourself to a timerThis is a very interesting technique. Once you get used to it, you will start loving it. Keep aside a time of 20 minutes and do only one task in this 20 minutes chunk without any distractions. Mails, calls, pings…everything can wait. After that take a 10 minute break and reply to all the distractions you got. Then get into another 20 minute time frame and so on. It might look 20 minutes of time wastage in an hour if you are a pessimist but believe me you tend to waste way more time than that in a normal life.4.
