Prioritize tasks and set achievable goals while employing focus techniques like Pomodoro. Eliminate distractions, group similar activities, and delegate tasks to responsible individuals. Sustain productivity with regular breaks and a balanced schedule. Consistency is crucial; establish a routine and adapt as necessary.

As they say, "The bad news is time flies, the good news is, you are the pilot". You are in total control of how you spend your time and being organized is the key to success. You need to plan and structure your time to make sure that your goals get accomplished and at the same time maintaining your work life balance. Listing and prioritizing tasks, not just for the day but for weeks ahead is critical. You also need to be disciplined about how you manage your calendar. I like to include tasks related to work, time spent on self development, breaks and everything in between. This gives me a full picture of how my time is spent. It's good to split time between multiple projects and not spend all your time on one to maximize efficiency.

🔝 Effective prioritization is key to productivity. The Eisenhower Matrix simplifies this: 🔹 Do: Tackle urgent & important tasks immediately. 🔹 Decide: Schedule important but non-urgent tasks. 🔹 Delegate: Assign urgent but less critical tasks. 🔹 Delete: Eliminate tasks that are neither urgent nor important. Master these to transform your workflow. #TimeManagement #Productivity #EisenhowerMatrix

I use an emergent task planner to prioritize my tasks. I split my tasks into top 3 highest priority for the day and then the next tier (if I have time left after completing the highest priority tasks), and lastly everything else. The tasks that don't get completed carry over to the next day.

Prioritizing your daily tasks will keep your work flow moving during the day and allow you to competently complete tasks. It is imperative to use this strategy daily and not let yourself get sidetracked.

Blocking time on calendar is very helpful when trying to finish an important task which is time bound. Also, one effective way of avoiding those last minute meeting requests. Do not be tempted to accept a late meeting invite, with some exceptions, even it’s from your manager . Avoid the slippery slope. Just request organizer to reschedule for another day.

I like planning the activities and tasks for the day, the previous night. This gives me a good idea of what my day is going to look like and how much additional time (if any) I might have should something come up and what my highest priority tasks are.

We can go deeper to utilise time management with Pareto Principle if you want to be an effective leader. In a typical 40-hour workweek, 20% of your time (i.e 8 hrs/ week) should be spent on generating 80% of your results. The Next Level, 20% of your 20% (i.e. 4% or 1.6 hrs /week) should be spent on building strength or opportunity for near future. Beyond Next Level, 20% of the 4% (i.e. 1% or 25 min/ week) should be reserved for high-level strategic decision planning. I personally think many executives are too bogged down with daily operation tasks and not reserving crucial time for Next Level and Beyond Next Level.

- Overwork will kill productivity. - Underwork will kill productivity. Finding a balance is important. Work on a problem from a place of rest and don't rest from working on a problem. If you work too hard you may spend more energy motivating you to just simply work when burnout sets in. If you work too little you will spend time cutting corners to catch up and ultimately work less efficiently. Effectively managing your life helps you ultimately manage your projects effectively.
