To Stop Wasting Time, Know Thy Time
If you don’t measure your time, it’s tough to stop procrastination or improve your productivity. Because if you want to manage your time better, you have to know where it goes first.
The specific method you use for your activity log doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is that you want to keep a record for at least two weeks. Preferably, you want a whole month of recorded activities.
Identify The Non-Productive Work
Go through all the recurring activities in your log one by one. What would happen if you would stop doing them?
- If the answer is: “All hell breaks loose.” Don’t change anything.
- But if your answer is: “Nothing would happen.” You’ve hit gold.
We all do activities that have ZERO returns. There are the time-wasters.
How You Stop Wasting Time: Eliminate The Time-Wasters
That’s how you stop wasting time. Know where your time goes. Identify the critical tasks from the trivial tasks in your life. And cut the trivial, time-wasting, tasks.
Often, we start time-wasting activities, and they become habits. And if you don’t become aware of the pointless behavior, it’s difficult to break those bad habits.
