But if you’re a procrastinator like me being productive and getting things done might be difficult. So here are some tips that might just help you be a better version of yourself. TOP TIPS1) Know your daily goals This is the first and most basic step to being productive. This is important because not knowing the goals for the day makes us random and it takes much more time to get things done. The best way to do this is by a to-do list. Write it down, either on a paper, or an app on your phone or even on your calendar, just note it down somewhere so your brain doesn’t need to remember all these tasks, it can just focus on the work at hand.Pro tip – Instead of deciding all the things and tasks in the morning and wasting precious time, write it all down the night before, that way you can wake up ready to hustle.2) Map your dayMap out the things you have to do, don’t just write down random words or vague sentences. Write down the actual steps and plan of action that are clear. This way you will have the exact steps lined up for you and you can do your work with lesser things going wrong. 3) Prioritise Know the most important and crucial tasks of your day and start working on those. When making a to-do list try to break up the task into smaller mini-tasks and get to work on the first one in the sequence. Finishing the first task will encourage and motivate you to work on the remaining mini-tasks and it will be easier to finish the task. 4) Goals and timesWe only have 24 hours in a day, so we need to put every minute to work. After organizing all the tasks, assign due dates and timers as much as possible and try to get things done within the alloted times. Develop the habit of working fast while doing the best that you can. (It’s not easy but practice makes perfect… or atleast the thing closest to perfect) Also, try to get onto a task and finish it as soon as possible instead of pushing it away for some other time. 5) Track yourselfKeep an eye on your to-do list and your timing. Review these often. Keep track of your to-do list to make sure that you’re not overworking and doing work that is not necessarily important. Keeping track of your timing ensures that you don’t spend too much time on a particular task and that you distribute and use your time effectively.

It’s important to not take too much time to do a task but at the same time it’s important to allow yourself enough time to complete the task successfully. 2) Assumptions… specifically assumptions that everything will go right. Always assume that there will be hurdles along the way and allot sufficient time to deal with these problems. 3) Not enough visionNot having the proper vision and goal will just increase the number of hurdles that come in your path. Make sure that before you begin anything ( a project, a task, an activity etc) you have a clear vision and you know the path to that vision. 4) StressConstantly stressing out can put your mental and physical health at risk. It will also effect your productivity. Identify the stress causing factors in your life, develop ways to de-stress and if possible, avoid these stress causing media. 5) Depending on yourselfDon’t get me wrong, being independent is a great thing and often times it seems like the best course of action. But in most cases, doing everything by yourself can lead to eventual burnout. We’re all humans and we all have only a specific amount of energy in a day, it is impossible to expect ourselves to do everything on our own. Get help, it may be in the form of an app or a device that helps you organize your day and other small things like that or maybe even hiring people to help you out in your work.

We’re all humans and we all have dreams and goals, some big and some small, but the only way to reach these goals is by working towards these goals. But if you’re a procrastinator like me being productive and getting things done might be difficult. So here are some tips that might just help you be a better version of yourself.
