How to Get More Done Faster

If you’ve found yourself overwhelmed by the amount of work you need to do, you’re not alone. Try the tips below to see if they help you reach maximum efficiency and get things done faster.

Early Bird Gets the Worm

One of the best ways to get things done faster is to add more hours to your day. Consider setting your alarm an hour or two earlier than you usually do during busy times, and dedicating that time towards finalizing projects, brainstorming, or planning your day.

Start with the Hard Stuff

You’ve probably heard this before, but completing the toughest tasks first can be incredibly helpful when it comes to improving your overall efficiency. Dedicate some time at the start of each day for your more challenging tasks and leave the afternoons open for those that require less focus and attention. Not only will this motivate you to complete the task faster, but you might just feel more relaxed afterward.

Eliminate Distractions

While it’s important to always be reachable, it’s just as important to not let your cell phone or electronic devices distract you from completing your work. A great way to combat this is to let your team know you’ll be focusing on an assignment for a certain period of time, but they can reach you afterward. This will allow you to put your phone away and get some distraction-free working time in.

Always Set Deadlines

While you likely have assignments with soft and hard deadlines, it can be helpful to give yourself a deadline that’s a few days sooner as motivation to stay ahead and on top of your workload and assignments. This will also give you a chance to thoroughly review the material and ensure you’ve completed high-quality work.

Try these tips the next time you’re juggling multiple assignments and complete your work with ease and speed.
