Prioritize

When prioritizing your activities, think about what is most urgent and mark these activities as priorities. Use notes or reminders to keep them in mind and arrange them in decreasing order of importance. Allocate specific time for them and carry them out.

Evaluate the complexity of tasks

When organizing, it is not only important to consider urgent activities or tasks, but also those that are more complex. This will allow you to estimate the approximate time you should allocate for these types of activities. It is advisable to perform them in the early hours of the day, as depending on their complexity, they will require your maximum concentration.

Identify all those distractions or bad habits that prevent you from being more productive, for example, unnecessarily checking social media or email, or messages on your phone.
