When this happens, we rush frantically to <a href=\"http:\/\/thelifecoachdr.com\/coach\/coaching-products\/goals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">accomplish<\/a> everything, but we end up doing a cruddy job and get ourselves all worked up for no good reason. There <em>is<\/em> a better way!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Use your morning hours wisely and get tasks started early in the day.<\/em><\/strong> Chances are you&#8217;ll finish them in one day rather than having it drag into a second day because you didn&#8217;t have enough time to get things done. For some, this may mean waking up an hour or two earlier instead of sleeping an hour or two later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Do the unpleasant tasks first<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> A great time management trick is to get the things you dislike out of the way first. If you keep putting it off, you&#8217;ll attempt to squeeze it in somewhere, and you&#8217;ll get the feeling of being overwhelmed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Schedule something fun after you finish your to-do list.<\/em><\/strong> This will motivate you to complete the list quicker.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Multi-task if you can. <\/strong>If you&#8217;re able to accomplish two things at once, then by all means do it. If you can put dinner on the stove while making a doctor&#8217;s appointment or wait for a load of laundry to finish while you mend a pair of pants, you can cut your time in half.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Don&#8217;t sacrifice the quality of the tasks you&#8217;re performing.<\/em><\/strong> If you burn dinner because you were looking at the calendar to make an appointment, this only wastes more of your time in the long run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Improving these skills will reduce your stress level and give you more time to do the things that make you happy, leading to a more peaceful and fulfilling life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are days where it seems like there&#8217;s just not enough of the precious gift of time.\u00c2\u00a0 What can you do about this?
