These hacks will help you master the most crucial trait – how to live a fulfilling, productive life.
#Cut down on Multitasking:
Multi-tasking arises out of distraction itself. It is an art of messing up several things at once. Do not – I repeat – do not take one too many tasks at the same time. On the off chance that you start performing multiple tasks, it won't end well. So, don't keep too much on your plate. It is because multitasking arises out of distractions, creates more unfinished tasks, and ultimately leads to dissatisfaction. Start your day with doable tasks and make sure you accomplish one before moving to the next. Minimize the mayhem of your day by focusing on 2 to 3 crucial tasks. Slower is better than giving up early. Start slow rather than giving up on tedious tasks. Commit to a task and see it through to the end. No matter how small the job is, finish it before moving on to the next.
#Tame the Elephant:
What is the most crucial job you have for the day? The most urgent, the most significant. Get it done first. Take the hideous, tedious, and mammoth task as early as possible in a day. Waiting for them only invites distraction to take over. Invest a large chunk of your day – preferably the morning hours – when concentration is at its peak on this task before moving on to other errands. If you avert those activities, it might lead to disruption taking over. As you realize, an enormous undertaking remains to be achieved; it shall overwhelm you. After you finish that colossal endeavor, you will truly feel much at peace. Also, you'll be able to delight in a brief respite at work. This gives you time to reflect on the progress you made and that which remains. This is how you can Tame the Elephant – by finishing the biggest and most tedious of works at the very beginning. As humans, we have limited time and abilities. The trick is to focus on that which is of higher priority.
