Making an effective schedule of the day requires little preparation. It is necessary not only to understand what tasks are to be performed, but also to fix exactly when they need to be done. These five steps will help you organize everything correctly.
Set aside half an hour and write down everything you do every day. These should be both personal and work tasks. Do not bother and think over the structure of the list — it's just a draft.
If you find it difficult to remember all the cases at once, add them during the day. Do not forget that there are no minor and minor tasks: if you want to include brushing your teeth in your schedule, do it.
Now that you have a general understanding of what your day looks like, it's time to add details. For example:
This is a very detailed schedule, you can skip some items if it's more comfortable.
Life is able to make adjustments even in the most detailed and elaborated plans. The main goal of your new routine is to use the most productive time for complex tasks, and the most unproductive time for routine. Sometimes you will need to go to the doctor or do something else at the time when work is scheduled, and your evening preparation for the next day may be interrupted by a meeting with friends. Try to make a plan for the day so that everything works like clockwork, even when surprises interfere with the usual course of affairs.
Allocate a month for a test drive of the resulting schedule. Listen to your feelings. Is the time for which you have scheduled each task suitable for you? Or is it worth changing something? Adjust everything that works poorly. Gradually you will bring the schedule to perfection.
At first, daily planning of the day may seem too difficult and tedious task. But gradually you will notice how your productivity has changed and how much free time has appeared.
