Get Into a Routine

Another way to get more done in less time is by first developing and then sticking to your routines. That’s because the more often you complete a task or a series of tasks in a predictable way, the easier and faster it is for you to do. And eventually you’ll be able to complete your tasks virtually on “autopilot” since you don’t even have to pause for a moment to think about what to do next.
Let me give you an example…

Let’s suppose you’re running an online business. And every day, you have some three fairly predictable tasks to do, such as writing and posting a blog post, submitting five articles to an article directory and answering help desk inquiries. After that, you work on whatever is on your to do list (such as marketing or product creation).

To boost your productivity, you should develop a routine to handle those three tasks.

For example, every day when you first log onto your computer you may:

1. Answer your customer inquiries first, since that’s the most important task of the three.

2. Write your blog post.

3. Since you got “warmed up” by writing a blog post, next you can write and submit five articles to an article directory.

4. Then start working on your daily to-do list.

Every day, you should complete these four steps in order the moment you log onto your computer.

You see, if you do the same thing every day, then you’ll never have to pause and think what to do next.

Since you’re doing related tasks (such as the blog post and article writing), you also don’t have to constantly “reorient” yourself from one task to an entirely different task. And that saves you time.

However, it’s NOT enough to simply do your regular routine. You also need to make sure you’re doing your tasks in the most efficient way possible…
