Use timers. Allot yourself limited time for each task and use a timer to alert when your time is up. For longer tasks, set an alarm to go off at regular intervals to keep you aware of how much time is going by.

Plan to be early. Write down appointments for fifteen minutes earlier than they really are. Make sure you have everything you need ahead of time so you’re not frantically looking for your keys or phone when it’s time to go.

Take things one at a time. Break down large projects into smaller, manageable steps.
