Getting things done can make a huge difference on whether or not you have a good or bad day! Everyone wants to be productive, But some people need to work on their productivity skills, Here are some helpful tips to help you get more done in your day.

Block certain hours of the day where you will commit to getting stuff done, and don’t stray from it. Treat it like an appointment. If you give yourself 1 hour to work on your book, set a timer and do it. This will allow you to manage your time more efficiently.

Batch Tasks

Don’t just do tasks randomly. Do them in an efficient order. If you have to go downstairs to get your laundry, and cook dinner. Do both at the same time, Heck while your food is cooking you could even fold laundry then by the time your food is done your laundry will be done too. Doing things in batches is a huge time saver. When you go out to do errands do all of them at once.

Take frequent breaks

Just don’t take too many and let those breaks distract you. Otherwise, it will do more harm than good in your day.
