If you\u2019re ready to make the most of every week and maximize your productivity, you\u2019re in the right place. We\u2019re sharing some of the top tips to help you plan your week in advance. You\u2019ll learn how to prepare for the week ahead so you can set yourself up for success. These tips will ensure you\u2019re maximizing your time, meeting deadlines, and checking things off your to-do list to make your weeks much more productive.<\/p>\n

Plan to be productive
\n<\/strong>A productive week starts on Monday morning, as long as you have a good plan in place. Things will always come up unexpectedly, but having a schedule can help.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFocus on a single task
\n<\/strong>It\u2019s been proven over and over that if you have two things to get done, completing them one at a time will not only allow you to finish sooner, it\u2019ll also increase the precision of your work.<\/p>\n

Get it out of the way
\n<\/strong>Tackle what you don\u2019t want to do first so that you don\u2019t waste any mental energy resenting it. You\u2019ll be so relieved that the rest of the day will seem simple.<\/p>\n

Complete is better than perfect
\n<\/strong>Striving for excellence is a noble goal, but obsessive perfectionism is the ultimate enemy of productivity, second only to laziness. Wouldn\u2019t you rather accomplish 100 things this week, all done well, than 15 things that are perfect?<\/p>\n

Start early
\n<\/strong>The sooner you get started, the more you can get done. Learn to be an early riser and take care of personal issues and breakfast before you begin. Fewer distractions coupled with more time during the day equals more completed tasks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSchedule down time
\n<\/strong>Work hard and play hard, but don\u2019t mix the two. Be fully engaged wherever you are. When you\u2019re working, go all out. Then schedule some time each day and on the weekends to stay far, far away from work. You deserve a break and your brain does too.<\/p>\n

Take \u201cDo Not Disturb\u201d time
\n<\/strong>We distract ourselves enough as it is. Let others know you\u2019re serious about getting things done. Block it out on your Google calendar created on your laptop<\/a> from Buydig.com, or even put a sign on your door. 99% percent of things can wait until you\u2019re done with your focused work.<\/p>\n

Work in intervals
\n<\/strong>No one can go full throttle all day. A good rule is to work 25 minutes, then give yourself a break for five minutes. In the long run, you\u2019ll accomplish more.<\/p>\n

Only do what only you<\/em> can do
\n<\/strong>If there\u2019s someone who can do what you\u2019re doing better or cheaper, have them do it. Your time is better spent doing things only you can do.<\/p>\n

Better to receive
\n<\/strong>During important work blocks, make others contact and approach you. Screen calls and emails so that you only respond to the most important ones.<\/p>\n

Perform triage
\n<\/strong>Start to think like an emergency room doctor. What\u2019s the absolute best use of your time right now? Figure it out and focus in on it. All the other clutter on your desk can wait.<\/p>\n

Automate repetitive tasks
\n<\/strong>Set up automatic payments for bills on your Samsung Galaxy Wifi Tablet<\/a> from Buydig.com, auto-ship routine purchases and cut yourself out as the middleman on receiving invoices. The less you have to do, the better.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It takes time and practice to master anything, and productivity is no different. Constant improvement is the realistic goal, not perfection in one week.<\/p>\n
