4 productivity tips - how you need to change your mindset
1. don’t complain about being busy. this is difficult, for many of us. but you need to avoid crafting an image of being busy because it makes you feel important - complaining about your workload actually just takes important mental energy away from you. instead of worrying about your to-do list, get on with it. a peaceful frame of mind is crucial.
2. when you think about getting a lot done, try not to see it as adding more tasks, but rather as eliminating more of them. what tasks are taking away most of your time and energy? sometimes it’s more important to eliminate than to add.
3. give yourself permission to procrastinate. some things need patience, and you need to be alright with not getting everything done in one go. it’s better to let the essay unfinished until tomorrow to edit it again, than edit past midnight when you’re exhausted - even when your perfectionist mind wants it done now. it’s okay.
4. set a priority. and by that, i mean one. let what you’re working in completely absorb your attention, and focus on it alone. don’t start thinking about all your other tasks, and problems. rather, do everything intentionally.
