As an entrepreneur with multiple projects going all at once I am constantly facing deadlines, sometimes overflowing email in boxes and calls to return. That was just a very short list of what I am looking at every day, but I find if I put together a to-do list I get more accomplished than I would without one. But if find yourself writing a to-do list and then being put off by how daunting it seems you don’t want to give up.
I have great suggestions on how small steps can lead to amazing results.
- Know what absolutely needs to be accomplished by you. Delegate what you can.
- Make note of what absolutely needs to be done today and set that goal.
- Do the most important item on your to-do list first.
- Understand daily, weekly, monthly and yearly deadlines. Break projects down to measurable time frames and work on them in increments.
- Devote 15 minutes to a task that you’re simply dreading. Take a deep breath, but know that you can tackle any task, no matter how objectionable or boring, for 15 minutes.
