Meet Deadlines - Increase Your Efficiency
- Prioritize. No one has time to do everything, so it is necessary to arrange a to-do list according to one’s priorities.
- Work on one task at a time until it is finished if possible. Switching from one task to another causes a lull in productivity. The mind has to re-familiarize itself with each task when switching.
- Eliminate distractions. This includes internal and external distractions.
- Work efficiently. Is there a better way to do a task than the way it has always been done? Can you prepare in any way before beginning the task?
- Make decisions quickly. Explore all options and commit to a plausible action to resolve the problem.
- Develop your skills and keep up with technology that will help you complete tasks.
- Just do what needs to be done.
Taking the initiative, working efficiently, and doing everything necessary to meet deadlines will pay off in a big way.
