Tidy desk
According to Entrepreneur.com, a tidy desk is the first step towards efficiency and productivity in your work. Only have your computer, water bottle, calendar and telephone on the desk, nothing else.
Evening preparations
Before going to sleep, you must have a plan ready for the next day, you have to have all your tasks for the day completed and go to bed with a clear head.
Deadlines
Make deadlines for all your activities and never exceed them. Never spend more time on a task than you had previously planned.
Delegating tasks
Delegate as many tasks as possible and allocate them according to each employee's expertise.
No multi-tasking
Don't do multiple tasks at once. Always fully focus on just one task and only then proceed to another. (So-called multi-tasking is just a myth: it is merely jumping from one task to another.)
Plan
Have a strict plan for each day and plan your work in detail.
Personal life
Communication with friends and dealing with personal matters are important tasks. However, if you try continuously to squeeze them into your working day, they often cause procrastination. Block an exact time for these activities as well.
Habits
You should automate some of your routine activities so that you spend as little thinking time and energy on them as possible.
Divide things up into individual steps
Divide large projects into smaller, easily managed steps, and avoid burning out from the thought of how big the project is you are facing.
