How do you get more work done, when your life seems to keep piling up? I’ve often asked myself that question, espeically as I’ve learned to balance multiple freelance jobs, as well as my stay at home position. I’ve learned three simple tasks that keeps me moving…
- Get up earlier! I tend to get the brunt of my work done in the morning hours. By getting up an hour earlier than usual, my work load doubles. Try to go to bed 30 minutes earlier than you normally would, then set your alarm clock for as early as you can get yourself up.
- Keep a daily planner, or an online planner for your busiest days. When I have to juggle appointments, family gatherings, and job requirements, my planner is my best friend. I often plan my days right down to every hour. Then on lighter days, I use my planner as needed.
- Drink lots of water! By keeping myself hydrated, I am keeping myself energized as well. Especially when the “2 O’Clock blues” set in. A cold glass of water, and few minutes of stretching should do the trick.
- Do one thing at a time. Although, some areas in life requires multitasking (Such as cooking), I am quickly learning that the “Do One Thing At A Time” mantra helps me in the long run. Set aside 1 hour to focus on the #1 thing that is bothering you.
- Keep your private e-mail, and work e-mail separate. This can be taken care of by simply creating a separate business account for your work at home business.
Does this all sound too simple? The truth is, it may be extremely simple, but sometimes simplicity is the key to success. If you are struggling with balancing your life, and career…then try these tips. After one day of successfully executing the above information, you will be surprised at the difference in your ability to get more things done.
