1. Set clear milestones.

• Keep your eye on the deadline
• Save all the important dates on an online calendar
• Improve your project evaluation skills
• Treat every milestone as a learning experience

• Understand the difference between “urgent” and “important”. Always focus on tasks that need immediate attention
• Try ordering your tasks by estimated effort
• Uncertainty is a reality. So, be flexible and adaptable – but keep priorities in mind

• Before sending invites for the meeting, ask yourself if it’s really needed
• Check everyone’s availability and pick the best time for the meeting
• Provide as much detail as you can for pre-preparation
• Save a time slot for meeting and sum it up in the given time frame

Try ranking each task in your to do list according to its specific importance and urgency. Keep the “most important tasks” at the top and start checking off items in your list from top-down. The idea behind this tip is very easy – if a task seems somewhat torturous to you, ease off your mind by getting rid of it as soon as possible.

5. Acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses

• Find patterns in your performance
• Decide what you enjoy the most at work
• Practice Reflective Best Self (RBS) exercises – find out what other people think about you
• Make a note of how you respond to situations that require action, thought, and insight
