FOUR STRATEGIES TO CONQUER YOUR OVERWHELMING TO-DO LIST
Get Organized
Following the advice of my business partner, I digitally put pen to paper and created a comprehensive list of all my tasks. Then, I focused on grouping tasks that could potentially be delegated.
Set Clear Deadlines
I prioritized the most pressing item on my list, which was getting my inbox back to a manageable state. Establishing a specific timeline to catch up provided me with a tangible target to work towards and enabled me to make the most efficient use of my time. It's important to remind yourself of this goal daily.
Find an Accountability Partner
Having someone to share goals with and keep me on track has been a game-changer. Whether it's a business partner, colleague, or a business coach, having an accountability partner can provide valuable support and motivation.
Seek Collaborative Input
If you're like me and thrive on collaboration, talking through your challenges and plans with someone can bring clarity and fresh perspectives. Sitting down with a trusted individual can help unveil new ideas and approaches.
