[2:20] Struggle One: Time Management
Time blocking: What gets scheduled is what gets done. Make the time in your calendar to do the work, and avoid rescheduling.
Have a specific action plan: When you get to your desk, know exactly what needs to be done. Write a check-list or plan in advance so you can easily get in the zone and stay focused.
[6:00] Struggle Two: Distractions
Focusing for Long Periods of Time, and Staying Focused on the Task at Hand
Eliminate distractions: Turn off your phone, or leave it in another room. Close down your email inbox, silence incoming calls. Let the people in your space know that you need uninterrupted time.
[8:50] Multitasking and Keeping it all Straight
STOP MULTITASKING: Studies have shown that multitasking reduces your productivity by 40%. Stick with your action plan and tackle each task, one at a time to avoid unnecessary task switching and backtracking.
Keep a notepad close by: When new ideas or distracting thoughts pop up, write them down so you can come back to later.
