2. Prioritise tasks

Start the day with a list of everything that needs to be completed by the end of the day. Prioritise them, and tick things off as you go.

If you are easily overwhelmed, break each task down into small manageable chunks so it's easier to do one step at a time.

Only write down tasks that need to be completed today. If you get those done, you can add more later. This helps you feel motivated and like you've achieved what you set out to do.

Not making lists

If you put something off and then forget to write down that you need to do it later, it’s possible that you could entirely forget about the first task.
