It may be time consuming to read this post, but believe me - it is totally worth it.

1. Think positively
We often talk about not having enough time. Rather than focusing on that, and complaining to yourself or others about not enough time, think about what you do have enough time for. Start talking and thinking about that instead.






2. Stay focused
Half an hour wasted on procrastination or distractions is costly.











3. Value your time
Value your time and other people will do the same.







4. Use a calendar or an organizer
Look ahead and set the tasks that must be done. Be sure to have enough time to complete all the tasks. Calendars and/or organizers will help you to have everything in one place and follow your daily/weekly/montly plan.






5. Ignore email and phone calls
When things get really pressured and you are tight for time, ignore email and phone calls completely. Get habit of switching off email whenever you can, even if this only for 15 minutes or 30 minutes at a time.







6. Prioritize
Use your time for the things that are worth it.











7. Do not procrastinate
If you are procrastinating, rather than getting frustrates or annoyed, simply ask yourself why are you procrastinating. Are you scared of the task ahead? Is ti too difficult, too easy, too boring or too time consuming? Are you tired? We can waste a lot of energy and time on the things we are putting off.




8. Sleep!
Try to sleep 7-8 hours every day.








9. Take a break from social media
If you are using social media for business, schedule some of your updates. You don't have to be there all the time. And an your free time, take a break from social media, an you will be surprised, how much free time you'll have.






10. Audit time
Do a time audit for one week and look at exactly where your time is going. Notice where you spend your time on a regular week day. Notice how you use time at a weekend. Taking results from time audit, think about where you might want to redistribute a little of your time. What drains your time? What drains your energy?



11. Be productive
You can actually get a lot done in half an hour. Do not just float because you've only got half an hour until your next task. And also limit the things that drain your time and energy, then you'll get more done in a focused, energized way.




12. Have time to relax
We all need down time.







13. Take breaks
Take mini breaks when you need them during the day to recharge and refocus. Take lengthy breaks away from work, university at the weekend, in the evening, on holiday to help you stay productive long term.





14. Eliminate time wasters
Identify anything causing a regular, repeated drag or drain on your time. These might include technology, systems, workflow or people. One by one, take these things and fix them, address them, or change them to free up more time.




15. Learn to say NO
Sometimes it is a better idea to say no for unimportant things than try to do everything. Remember, you can do anything, just not everything.




And in the end, a short video. Enjoy!
