TOTW: Do the Important thing First!

"If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done." Bruce Lee
​
So here is this week’s tip for you to consider having a go at, which may help you have more productive days.

Just try it and see if it helps.

Tip: Do the Important Thing First.

For context, as a coach I often ask my client this question of my clients.
“What could you do to help you be more efficient at work?”

These are three of the top answers I get back and the biggest distraction to them.

• Do the task with the most urgent deadline (if its importance trumps all else, act accordingly)
• Do the task that is the largest source of stress (if you’re going to be dreading it all day, get it over with)
• Do the task that will take the most time and energy (because then the rest will seem easy in comparison)

Distraction: Avoid the temptation to check your email any more than every few hours. If they really need you, they will call. Starting and stopping a task adds up in a lot of wasted time and an overwhelmed feeling, so go with the tip "get the important things done first" without distraction.
Make this tip your focus for the week
I hope this helps.
Have a great week.
