Focus on tasks that are important and urgent first, then move to important but not urgent tasks.
Ensure your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

Ensure you get enough rest, exercise, and relaxation.
If a task can be completed in 2 minutes or less, do it immediately.
Multitasking often leads to mistakes and decreased productivity. Instead, focus on one task at a time until it's completed.
Plan and implement. Apply your chosen method over a period of time. A month is typically enough time to evaluate whether a strategy is working.
