16 Things To Remember When Life Gets Busy

Lately I have been bombarded with so much deadlines. I can not even put into words how fast time flew by these past 2months. Anyhow, today I was just thinking about the things we should remember when life gets busy. We want to get things done and meet deadlines whilst still having time for ourselves.

Here is a list of things you might want to consider to be more productive and efficient when life gets busy:

1.) As soon as you get the assignment gather all the information you need from your tutor, research it and attempt to do it on the day.

2.) Vision the light in the end of tunnel and use it as motivation. Focus on the time and stress it will save you when you get things done as early as possible.

3.) Research the lecture beforehand. During the lecture summarize your notes into as little page as possible, organize it in a folder and then read it over at least once.

4.) Avoid all contacts with anyone that may compromise your time deadlines. 

5.) Think ahead. Always be at least 10steps ahead. If you have other appointments, do as much as you can before the meeting. 

6.) Always reward yourself with things you want or like doing after accomplishing a task, however small they may be.

7.) Leave time for friends. They are good stress-relievers. 

8.) When its work, make sure you are just working. When you are playing, make sure you are just playing. Separate these two spheres. Avoid mixing them together. 

9.) Remember the 80/20 principle. Work less, worry less. Most results in any situation are the results of small causes.

10.) Do not stress yourself. Always take a break. When you have momentum, make full use of it. You may find it difficult to get it back again.

11.) Make your workplace comfortable for you to work. Make it feel like its a place you  would like to stay for a set moment of time. Keep the air cool, open your windows. A messy, crowded and organised-looking workplace is not inductive of productive working. 

12.) Invest money in coffee, herbal tea and energy drinks. But not too much especially on energy drinks.

13.) Just do it. Even if you don't feel like it. Inspiration will strike you better when it sees you working already.

14.) Learn how to say no.

15.) Always find time to refresh yourself. Work done just for the sake of it is as useless as buying food from the market and not cooking it.

16.) Be determined. Put your heart and soul into everything you do. So whatever results you get in the end, you will have no regret.
