Hold on! You mean I have to work more than 40 hours a week? No, of course I don't say that. I'm talking about the time you need to plan your work . My productivity started to increase as I arranged my own time for different jobs; instead of trying to complete it at the same time.

There is a surprising tool called the Pomodoro 'Tomato Fruit' method. It allows you to set the time up to 25 minutes, helping you focus on a single job. After that 25 minutes, take a short break and continue setting up another 25 minutes for your next job.

2. Assign and / or reduce workload

There are things you need to do and there are also things you can let others do . Read the book ' 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People - the 7 habits of successful people ' by Stepen Covey helps me draw many good things for me.

I had to write ALL the things I had to complete. Then divide them into different groups: Essential and Important;  Essential and Not Important; Important and Not Necessary; Not Important and Not Necessary.

1. For Non-Essential and Non-Important things , I kept them " floating " until time was complete.
2. For Important but Not Urgent , I leave it to others, so create a system process for it so that when someone does it for you, they will get full instructions.
3. As for the rest, you can specify the deadline to complete soon.
4. It is easy to see that it is important to do important and urgent things as soon as possible and then create a process for the next things, things that you can hand over to others.

3. Train the brain

Using technology can be both beneficial and harmful. Sometimes I personally feel really effective when I turn off the Internet or use software that blocks certain websites at certain stages so that the job is completed faster.

Furthermore, I use Google Calendar to plan all meetings or timelines to complete tasks, which help me determine when things should be completed so that I won't be missed.

This is very important because I tend to look at the picture. I love seeing the panorama, but then I was overwhelmed and then the work was not completed as expected.

To overcome this, I have to write down the main ideas, then break them down into smaller steps ( or milestones ) to help me reach the final goal. When the mission was broken down, I was no longer panicked and they were also completed faster.

6. Take time for yourself

This is like setting up a timetable for work , but it is a personal schedule. When I work for 2, 3 or 4 hours without a break, I feel that my work is not effective at all. I became nonchalant and the brain wandered indefinitely, next to the phone with the Flappy Bird game brought out and then the work didn't work. But if I know after 1 or 2 hours of work, I have 15-20 minutes for myself , it reminds me that I can watch Facebook or do other things that are more PERSONAL.
