Each day for a few weeks, I’ll give you a new tip on how to get more done with the same hours you already have. Here’s the next tip:
Create And Use Checklists
Anytime you can offload things you need to remember from your head onto paper (or your computer), the more you set yourself up for taking action.
Your brain hates stress, and having to remember all the details related to preparing your taxes, or everything you need to schedule, reserve, and buy for a vacation just weighs you down.
Checklists help you get rid of a lot of this stress by acting like a ‘mini-blueprint’ you can easily follow anytime you need it, without the worry that you’re forgetting something important.
For any process or sequence of actions you perform on a regular basis, take a little time to create a checklist for it and use it as needed. It may take a little time to create initially, but it will save you gobs of time and energy in the long-run.
If you need a bit of inspiration when creating your checklists, just search Google for some ideas. For example, to create a travel checklist, begin by searching Google for travel checklist. You’ll find plenty of ideas for things to add to your own.
