Prioritize tasks
Using a time monitoring tool, record all of your work and the actual amount of time it takes.
Log your Work
Have a clear plan for what you want to do. When there isn’t enough information about what the assignment is, long deadlines are set. Focus on what is really important and add features later.
Outline Project Goals
If we do not make the most of the time that we have and properly prioritise our responsibilities, we will not be able to finish things in a timely manner.
PRIORITIZE Tasks
Create a task timeline with who, what, and when. Your time log might help you schedule chores.
