🕰️ Steps to Spend More Time with Family and Less at Work
If you feel overwhelmed with tasks, I recommend grabbing a pen and jotting down all tasks, meetings, and events in your daily planner or notebook. This will free up your mind for more important tasks. The key principle is that the human brain can only track 4-6 tasks simultaneously. Exceeding this limit can decrease productivity. A task that usually took an hour might stretch to one and a half.
Spread out all written tasks, assignments, and events into electronic planners, notebooks, and calendars. For future meetings, trips, and events, I use Google Calendar. With this app, you'll never forget what you've planned. It won't allow you to schedule multiple tasks for the same time.
Organize your desktops. This includes your physical workspace, your computer desktop, and even your smartphone desktop. As they say, "tidy desk, tidy mind." Sort everything into folders. Set yourself strict rules:
Don't leave work until your workspace is in perfect order.
Don't shut down your computer until you've sorted all files into their respective folders.
Set a rule for handling incoming information based on the two-minute principle. The essence of this principle is to segment all incoming data and information as follows:
-Analyze, respond, or execute immediately if it takes no more than two minutes to process and analyze the email or file.
-Delete or discard if it's not important and doesn't require your action.
-Delegate to subordinates.
-Add events, ideas to the calendar, or future task list.
-Move to a folder for further consideration later.
This principle prevents attention from being divided among various tasks and duties.
