In the previous post, we saw the first 10 of 21 ideas for getting things done from the book “Eat that Frog” by Brian Tracy. In this post I will share the last 11 – I hope they will be a help to you as they have been to me. Here they are:
11. Identify your key destraints – focus on aleviating the constraints to be more affective.
12. Take it one step at a time – you can accomplish if you just take it one step at a time.
13. Put pressure on yourself – imagine you have to leave town and you have to complete things before you leave – that will help you accomplish it.
14. Maximize your personal powers – identify your best times of day mentally and phisically and focus on working during those times. Get lots of rest so you can perform at your best.
15. Motivate yourself into action – be your own cheerleader. Look for the good in everything, focus on the solution rather than the problem. Always be optomistic and constructive.
16. Practice creative procrastination – since you can’t do everything, pick the most important things and do the other things later.
17. Do the most difficult task first – the one task that can make the greatest contribution to your job.
18. Slice and dice the task – break large task into small task and do them parts at a time.
19. Create large chunks of time – organize your days into sections of time so that you can do what you need to do.
20. Develop a sense of urgency – become known as a person who does things quiclky and well.
Highly effective people plan and set priorities
Stopping and picking back up task can take up to 500% more time than just doing it. You get more done when continuing something, but when stop a task, you break the flow of doing it.
Self discipline, self mastery and self control are the base of character and high performance.
21. Single handle every task – set priorities and work until the job is 100% complete, this is the real key to high performance and maximum productivity.
Persistence is self discipline in action
