      What kind of person told you that?!?!! Who says "oh I guess the many decades of life you have left are just going to have to suck". WHO SAYS THAT. All of life is about bettering ourselves. Imagine having to live half a century exactly how you were in your teens or twenties. That's absurd. The point of it all is about change and evolution. We're never "done", and we never ever learn everything there is to learn.

    Tip 1 - Take a mental inventory. Write down all the tasks to avoid decision fatigue you'll gain distance from the pile of choices. Stepping back makes it easier to evaluate what's important and what to prioritize.
    Tip 2 - Time blocking. Give tasks a start and end time. This adds structure and urgency.
    Tip 3 - Morning reflection. Spend a few minutes to go over the task list for the day to kickstart your day. Imagine what it looks like to finish each of the tasks.
    Tip 4 - Evening reflection. Go over your task list, consider how it went. Set your focus right and clarify what is important to you. Plan accordingly. Helps you feel like the day is "complete".
    Tip 5 - Celebrate the completion of each task. Trains you to identify positive moments.
    Last tip - Make sure your system works. It should not be over-complicated or hindering you in doing your tasks.

    @vavu1503 2 роки тому +250

    Instead of time blocking(it normally doesn't work for me) what I usually do is whenever I write a task i write the time taken to complete in minutes. In my case it motivates me to complete the task. For example mopping one room 5 minutes. This will ensure i am still doing that

      Time blocking should be known as the time that you can do your specific task as smooth as you can. Its not just set limit time for this. Hope everyone will take it easy.

    Notes:
    1. Build mental inventory: Write down everything you want to accomplish in the coming week on Friday.
    2. Mark them by importance (vital) to sort out the top priority tasks
    3. Block the time for each task. This adds structure and urgency to the task.
    4. Reflect on the tasks scheduled for the day every morning for 10-15 mins. (Why am I doing this task?)
    5. Use evening reflection to unwind by marking the completed tasks and regrouping the incomplete jobs for the next day. APPRECIATE YOUR PROGRESS!
    6. Celebrate by rewarding yourself for each successful task (e.g., dance, high-five)

I just read his suggestion on allowing extra time for task and celebrating if those take less time than planned as well. I'm also imply the ease of the "5 4 3 2 1" goal setting suggestion as I struggle with setting goals sometimes on a time line. Jot down a list of want to do then place them in categories: 5 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, and 1 hour. You may also just write those categories then place goals under each. 😊 thanks for making this!!

    I'm already using notion to build my weekly task list, mostly because I like to have those things on digital to better organize and edit later,
    But it does not work properly if I don't write on paper before starting them. Feels so good to strikeout the task after competition.
    So I think I already have done 1.Mental Inventory, 3.Morning Reflection and 5.Celebrate.
    I'm trying to implement time blocking, but didn't knew about Evening Reflection.
    Thanks for sharing that, is good to know I'm going to the right direction. Life feels so good when things are organized.
