Most small business owners frequently function between a variety of roles running their enterise.

You’ve definitely spent years nurturing your work habits – both good and bad, consciously or unconsciously and they won’t just change overnight. Little and gradual adjustments will lead to more lasting changes, but those may take time and discipline. It looks very easy when you’re reading a productivity article such as this.

How productive can you be when you have so many tasks to juggle? Below are tips and tricks to leverage and save time and also get more done.

1. MAKE A FEASIBLE TO-DO LIST

Don’t overwhelm yourself or over-do it. Make sure the time and feasibility of the list is well calculated because you don’t want to over-stretch yourself. To-do lists usually fail because we make them way too complex or the tasks are unequal. Some tasks will take an extended time, others won’t take any time in the least . This creates an unbalance in the way we distribute our time making it all impossible. What happens then is that our to-do list then becomes a procrastination tool. Yes, that’s right. Because then we do the straightforward stuff, then become really distracted on the hard stuff.

So in making a to-do list, always consider the short term and long term goal and your to-do list can then carry a little of what needs to be done about achieving both your long term goal.

2. BREAK DOWN EVERY TASK IN BITS

With every new project, plan or assignment given to you, it will definitely or may seem too large. But once you start breaking it down, little by little and realizing what can be accomplished and getting closer to the bigger picture you’ll notice how each part builds upon the other and this will begin to act as the drive to see the beautiful end of the assignment.

One of the easiest and most practical things you can do is to break down your project or tasks into smaller goals. What are the pieces and assets needed? What is the cost needed? Break up these pieces before even setting timelines and making plans then estimate how long they’ll take you to accomplish. Having a good understanding of the project or assessment, putting the steps in place and then estimating the time needed will help you get a grasp of what’s being asked. Sometimes what seems like a big project won’t take much time at all when broken down. Breaking it down will help you see how productive you are at each step of the way.

3. FOCUS ON ONE TASK AT A TIME

Remember, always take one step at a time. Remember the law of osmosis? It starts from lower concentration to high concentration. That you are moving from a lower point does not mean there’s no high point for you. You just have to focus and achieve excellence in the little steps you broke down that massive project into.

One of the major ways to focus on important tasks as suggested by a top human resource manager is to apply the 90-90-1 rule. This is done by committing the first 90 minutes of your day for 90 days to the most important task. It will help focus your priorities during the day.

It’s a very practical rule that will help you to be productive all day without losing focus.
