Multitasking is no easy feat. You can tell yourself you\u2019ll get this, that and the other done before the day is out but sometimes once you get stuck into one task, it\u2019s all too easy to forget about the long list of other jobs you meant to get done.<\/span><\/p>\n

To multitask effectively and actually save yourself some time, it needs a little bit of care and attention. Simply listing off a multitude of tasks before you tackle them isn’t enough, so here\u2019s how you can get everything done in an organised and efficient manor:<\/p>\n

1. Write a list and keep it in sight<\/strong><\/p>\n

As obvious as it seems, you need to put pen to paper and write down all your goals and tasks for the day if you don\u2019t want to forget about anything. Keep the list in your sight at all times as a gentle reminder about what your priorities are.<\/p>\n

2. Eliminate unnecessary tasks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be realistic about what you can achieve in one day, remember – Rome wasn\u2019t built in a day! If something isn\u2019t high up on your priority list, scrap it and instead focus on following through on your more important tasks.<\/p>\n

3. Group like with like<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because the brain can really only focus on one thing at a time, it makes sense to try and accomplish like-minded tasks together or closely followed by one another.<\/p>\n

Your brain will find it much easier to focus on two similar tasks because you will already be in the right frame of mind, rather than one cleaning task, one financial problem and one culinary task for instance – which all require a different line of focus.<\/p>\n

4. Use your time wisely<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t just tackle any random task on your list first, think logically about your schedule and allocate your time wisely. For example, if you know that you will be receiving a lot of phone calls at a certain time choose a task that can be easily paused.<\/p>\n

Or alternatively, if you know that you will be sitting around in a waiting room use that time to catch up on important reading or studying etc.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0What works for one person might not work for another<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take note of what works for you personally, if you find that doing paperwork in front of the TV takes twice as long as doing the paperwork separately and enjoying your favourite show on it\u2019s own then don\u2019t pair these tasks together in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
