Empty your mind
Empty information from your brain and organise it. That can be done by using a diary, a notebook, a planner, and your computer or specific software packages that are available. By doing this it gives your brain space to think about what you should be focusing on because you have the prompts you need to deal with tasks or appointments when they occur.
Reoccurring tasks
Do you have reoccurring tasks that you have to do? It may be checking office stationery supplies [weekly, monthly etc] or paying insurance premiums [annually]. Place these tasks into “Microsoft office tasks” and it will remind you when you start up your email program of the jobs that have to be done. They can be set up as reoccurring tasks so that they remind you when needed.
Give yourself time
Try and leave some space within your day to focus on a project or key action items. This allows you time to deal with tasks that have to be done.
Do you know that we underestimate how much time it will take to complete a task? It is a habit that we all do until we fully track our time and have an educated understanding of the time tasks take. Think about when you check emails and how long you think that will take you. How often are you surprised when time has just slipped away? Therefore whenever you think about how much time something is going to take allocate twice as much time. This accommodates for such things as interruptions or further research that may be required to complete the job properly.
Conquer large projects
When you are feeling overwhelmed by large project take a few minutes and break the project down into small, sequential steps. Then start from the end task and schedule these steps into days and approx time each task would take. This way you will have it completed on time. So long as you stay on track with your time line you will feel that you are making progress and not be overwhelmed.
