Here are some tips that may help you.
1. Use a timer while you work
Whether you are an early riser or a night owl. Just if you're not sure, it's to improve the way you work. There are different daily rhythms that suit different people. These differences could be the result of genetics, age or other factors (scientists say). Surprisingly, being an early riser doesn't necessarily mean you have to do your most important work in the morning, and vice versa. Some research suggests that "non-optimal" periods may be the best times for you to do creative and problem-solving tasks. Turns out, you can actually be more creative during times when you're feeling more mentally drained. Experiment with different daily schedules until you find one that works for you.
2 . Plan ahead
If you start your day without a clear plan, you risk spending the first few hours thinking about what you need to do, estimating how long it will take, and setting yourself goals for the day. End day.
Planning ahead is one of the best ways to get the most value out of your time. It gets you to work and ready to start right away. Use a journal, a piece of paper, or even a project management software tool to record this and keep it with you while you're working. One of the key considerations when making your plan is to be realistic. Don't set time constraints or goals that you know you won't achieve.
3. Know yourself
95% of us believe we have self-awareness – even though our colleagues think otherwise. Being truly self-aware is hard, but it's vital in your efforts to increase productivity.
In fact, having a teammate who isn't self-aware can halve a project's chance of success.
What are your strengths, and therefore, what task should you leave for the end of the day when your mind is tired and working on autopilot? Where do you lack experience, expertise? When should you authorize, ask for help, or attend training? Who do you work well with? What will distract you or slow you down? A candid self-assessment of how you work is beneficial as it will help you learn to organize your time more wisely.
Learning to work faster is worth it.
