7 Ways to be More Productive with Less Effort

1.Sort out your priorities. Make time to honestly reflect on your life, and to think about what is important to you. Where are you going? What do you want? What are the steps that will take you there?

2. Focus on the essential tasks. Next, think about your short term responsibilities. Ask yourself: “Out of all the tasks that I have to do, which will get me the greatest return for my time and effort?” Make a list of these types of tasks — they’re your most important things to do this week.

3. Eliminate what you can. Now look at your list. What on the list is not essential? Is there anything there that you can drop from your schedule, delegate to someone else, or put on a “waiting list”. Often when we review these non-essentials later, we find they weren’t necessary at all.

4. Do essential tasks first. Begin each day by doing the two most important tasks. Don’t wait until later in the day as they’ll get pushed aside to make time for other stuff that arises throughout the day. You’ll find that if you do these tasks right away, your productivity will really increase.

5. Eliminate distractions. If you allow yourself to be constantly interrupted by email notifications, IM, cell phones, social media and so on, then you’ll never be productive. Turn them and, if you can, disconnect yourself from the internet.

6. Keep it simple. Don’t waste time on applications that are meant to organise your schedule. Make a simple to-do list with a word document, or with some paper and a pen. Then get started on whatever work you had planned on doing.

7. Do one thing at a time. In most situations, multi-tasking slows you down. You can’t get things done with a million things demanding your attention. Focus on what’s in front of you, to the exclusion of all else. That way, you are likely to achieve more, in less time, and with less effort.

7 Ways To Deal With Toxic Family Members 

Plan Your Responses Ahead Of Time. Instead of reacting on the spot, reflect on the types of remarks that tend to rile you up, and give a serious thought about what you want to say in response. Do your best to focus on “I” statements.

Stand Up To The Bully Without Hostility. One way of standing up for yourself without aggression involves just looking straight at the bully and saying something like “I’m sorry, what did you say?”.

Remove Yourself From The Situation. Removing yourself from the situation isn’t always easy, but you can usually at least take a break from being around a bully. You can also try a brief moment of mindfulness, inhaling and exhaling while visualizing anxiety or rage leaving your body. Don’t stay somewhere where you’re being abused.

Set Boundaries. While some bullies (e.g. those at work) only have intermittent access to you, some family members can easily reach you any time or expect hours of your company. So, figure out what you can tolerate, and then draw lines accordingly.

Turn To Someone You Trust. Find a close friend you can genuinely trust with sensitive topics, and explain exactly what’s going on. This will give you emotional release as well as a valuable source of potential advice. Further, don’t forget that telling a therapist is always an option.

Avoid Getting Emotional. It’s also important that you don’t try to repress or deny these feeling; this can cause them to explode out of you when you least expect it. Save your emotions for later, when you can talk to the aforementioned trusted friend or have time to vent in a journal.

Remain Confident. Remember that the bully’s behavior does not reflect something about you or your worth. Don’t be tempted to view yourself through the bully’s eyes. Also, try not to fall into the trap of assuming that this person’s cruel remarks are true.

(And if you ever feel in danger or at serious risk, please contact the relevant authorities or a specialist.)
