To understand how long tasks take is really important. And so what I like to do, especially for as how I started my career, and especially for new employees, I like to ask them to track their time just for one week to see how long certain activities take and so, you know, Are they checking their email for an hour? Does that take that time? You know, working on social media, you know, any of that? How long are those tasks taking and then we'll take time afterwards to really understand how they are spending their time and you know, different ways that we can make things shorter or you know, that oh, that projects going to take longer. We figured that out together, assigned time limits to tasks. I think that's really important too. Because otherwise you get ground. Like you just get focused on that thing. And then you're like, wait, I want to edit this. I want to do that and you keep changing it over and over again. And that's not productive, efficient or helpful, necessarily. So being able to say block off time on your calendar, one hour, I'm going to do this thing, I'm going to finish it and if I didn't finish it, either I'm going to have you know, pass it off to someone else or I'm going to be able to you know, schedule Okay, I just need 15 more minutes to do that and, you know, assign the time limits to tasks so that you're not just focused on them and spending the whole day doing it and one thing that I also have here, creating a daily schedule and sticking with it, meetings come up on your calendars, being able to you obviously have to do those, but being able to carve out the rest of your time. How are you doing it? Being able to schedule your lunch really important whether I know Nikita has been doing that on her calendar. She's scheduled time she's like, I'm gonna be eating lunch. They're like, Please don't bother me. And you're like, Okay, that sounds great. You know, being able to really budget that time and you know, maybe you want to do all your meetings in the morning, maybe you do them in the afternoon and you then carve out that time of how you're spending your day and doing the tasks that you need to get done here. One thing I actually a tool that I use, and I kind of mentioned, having people track their time there is clarify is a great app that I use to be able to, you know, you just start a timer, you be able to kind of see how long a task takes and when you're done. You stop it and you're like okay, now like no, and then that helps you keep track of your kind of time there and seeing how long things take you to do. So delegate as well or ask for help on and so that are those are the important things to think about. And I often and I will do that at the start of your day to be able to help you feel calmer and more relaxed and to be able to get your work done. group similar tasks together. You know, if you're working in spreadsheets or you know something and you have a couple of different tasks you need to do with that. Get, you know, you can put your those tasks together. So you're like, Okay, I'm in spreadsheet mode right now. Like, I'm just gonna get all those tasks done, or I'm working on social media for a couple different things. Like I'm just gonna write out all those, you know, not content right now for those different things. So being able to kind of get those together so that you are able to help you prioritize, but also kind of help be in that same mindset be that same frame of of work as you work on those tasks there. Stop Social media thing we're paying attention to right now or, you know, being able to, you know, my phone for text messages and things, you know, especially for deep work or things that I'm really trying to focus on here. i It's important to be able to eliminate those distractions for the time that you need. And then of course, you can revisit them afterwards after you've done you know, it's kind of like I said earlier about assigning time limits to tasks and creating that schedule there. eliminate distractions to help you focus. Finally getting organized. Being able to know what your to do list is being able to that will help you prioritize, organizing your desk like being able to know what you need to do where to find things. Really, really important. And we're going to talk a little bit more about what are ways that we can get organized.
