The more time you spend planning a project, the less time is required for it. Use a calendar. Analyze tasks and break them down into manageable parts.<\/li>\n<li>CONCENTRATE \u2014 The amount of time spent on a project is not what counts; it\u2019s the amount of uninterrupted time.<\/li>\n<li>TAKE BREAKS \u2014 Working for long periods of time can decrease energy as well as increase stress, tension and boredom. Switching from a mental task to a physical task can provide relief. Merely resting can also increase your efficiency, reduce tension and, most importantly, benefit your health.<\/li>\n<li>AVOID CLUTTER \u2014 In most cases, clutter can hinder concentration and cause frustration and tension. When you find your desk becoming chaotic, take time to organize. Remember you can only effectively work on one thing at a time, so concentrate all of your efforts on the most important one. Clearing or organizing your desk nightly should be standard practice.<\/li>\n<li>AVOID PERFECTIONISM \u2014 There is a difference between striving for excellence and for perfection; the first being attainable, gratifying and healthy,while the second is often unattainable and frustrating.<\/li>\n<li>LEARN TO SAY \u201cNO\u201d \u2014 Learn to decline, tactfully yet firmly, requests that do not fit with your goals. If you explain that your motivation is not to get out of work, but to save time to do a better job on the really important things, you\u2019ll have a good chance of avoiding unproductive tasks.<\/li>\n<li>DON\u2019T PROCRASTINATE \u2014 Decide to change habits immediately, but don\u2019t take on too much too quickly.<\/li>\n<li>DELETE TIME-WASTING ACTIVITIES AND HABITS \u2014 If you are wasting your time in activities that bore you, divert you from your real goals and sap your energy, make changes in a positive direction or delete them from your schedule.<\/li>\n<li>DELEGATE \u2014 Learn to delegate the challenging and rewarding tasks, along with sufficient authority to make necessary decisions.<\/li>\n<li>AVOID THE WORKAHOLIC SYNDROME \u2014 Don\u2019t let work interfere with the really important things such as family, friends and enjoyment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>COMMON CAUSES OF PROCRASTINATION<\/strong><br \/>\nLow tolerance for frustration \u2022 Fear of failure \u2022 Fear of success \u2022 Perfectionistic tendencies \u2022 Distaste for a particular task \u2022 Self doubt \u2022 Feelings of being overwhelmed by &#8220;the whole task&#8221; \u2022 &#8220;I find this task easier to do when I\u2019m under pressure&#8221; \u2022 Waiting to &#8220;get into the mood&#8221; \u2022 Loss of desire to complete the task<\/p>\n<p><strong> &#8220;TO DO&#8221; LIST TRICKS: <\/strong><strong>THE CHARLES SCHWAB PRIORITY LIST METHOD<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Write down your upcoming duties.<\/li>\n<li>Write down a number beside each duty to indicate which is more important.<\/li>\n<li>Do each duty in order of its assigned importance.<\/li>\n<li>Do not go on to the next one until the preceding duty is completed or when you have done as much as you could for the present period of time.
