Feeling Overwhelmed? Just do This

21 Oct, 2024

It is near year end, I have a large sales quota to chase, and other millions things that I need to settle. It is like juggling fifty balls at the same time. And I cannot even let one ball to fall.

Instead of getting myself pulled into various directions. I do my best to focus on one or two tasks a day. Here is how you can do it.

1. Go through your to-do list and pick the most important item.
2. Estimate the time to complete the task. Once you have estimated the time, top up another 50% of allocated time to it. The purpose is to factor in the unexpected issues.
3. Block an uninterrupted time slot and aggressively work on the task.There should be no distraction. Do not switch task until is done.
4. When the task is done, pick another important task on your to-do list and repeat from point 1.
