I’m always struggling ways to find more time for myself. Everything is just work, work, work, work and work. So this cropped up recently on the web, I found it really useful to myself, and I’m guessing you will as well. Performancing is a website that is set-up specifically to “help bloggers succeed”. Which it mostly does, and if you are a blogger, or interested in blogging, definitely check it out. If not, check it out anyway!
So anyway, back to the post.
They’ve put up a lekker list of 10 ways to get more done in less time. Here’s a sneak preview of the real thing, which you can check out from the link above. If you have any other suggestions, post a comment here or there!
1. Time & Task Chunking
There are two things you must start doing right now:
- Think of the time available to you in ‘chunks’ or ‘blocks’.
- Group related tasks together, and assign them time chunks.
Working on related tasks in the same time chunk makes it possible for you to get through those tasks faster than you would otherwise as your mind becomes attuned to doing a specific type of task. You might have heard the tip on writing your blog posts for the week / day in one go - this works because once your writing juices get flowing, it’s easier for you to write that second and third article for the day / week,
Why time chunks? I’ve discussed in detail later, but in essence the idea is to a) break down your work day into manageable time periods (input, output or just processing) and b) help you concentrate better on your work.
Enjoy!
