Top 3 Tips to Better Manage Your Time
How do you manage your task list?
Recently on Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast, Pete did a deep-dive into how to best use a task management system.
The big take-away was to make sure you’re managing your time and not just managing the system that you use.
Sometimes we can get bogged down in the ins and outs of a to-do system and never actually get anything done!
Pete gave some great tips to help manage your time with a task management system efficiently to ensure you’re actually getting things done.
Here are a few tips you can use today:
The Brain Dump
This is something we’ve mentioned many times on the podcast. It’s hard to get anything done if it’s all floating around in your head. Start by emptying your mind of all your tasks and get them into your task system.
Rule of 3
The goal here is to pick your 3 most important tasks and focus on those first. After they’re completed, come back to reevaluate and move forward.
Fresh Starts
Every time interval is a fresh start. Whether it’s the beginning of the next Pomodoro session you’re working through or it’s the beginning of a new day. Take each new time frame as a fresh start.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the great information Pete shared! If you’re looking for your own fresh start to managing your tasks, I would encourage you to check out the podcast episode here.
