Why You Need To Stop Killing Time


 Time Management
Organizational skills and time management are essential to your success.
Time management is a choice, how you decide to spend your time is very much up to your own discretion.
Killing time may work for a few minutes, but it adds up when things need to get done. 
You can increase your productivity and move closer toward your goals just by managing what you are doing
and when you are doing it.
The very act of taking a moment to think about your time before you spend it will begin to improve your
personal time management and increase productivity immediately.
Why Do We Kill Time?
Why, then, do people choose to kill time?
Killing time is a vicious cycle. What starts as a short break browsing online, can turn into hours wasted.
It feeds your lack of action and interrupts your workflow.
When you find yourself in one of these situations, scrolling the internet aimlessly, stop for a second and think
about what you aren’t accomplishing.
The more you postpone, the longer it will take for your task to get done.
Sometimes a task seems so discouraging you don’t want to get started.
You come up with random things to do, wasting your time, instead of knocking this one task out.

Want To Stop Killing Time?


Here are 3 helpful tips to stop wasting time and get your tasks accomplished effectively.
1. Get The Hard Stuff Done First
It takes discipline to accomplish the hardest task first, but it is a habit that will increase your levels of
performance and productivity.
Sometimes you have to ignore how you feel, and just get started.
Nobody wants to start a difficult task, but successful people put their heads down and do it.

2. Make A To-Do List


Making a to-do list is an effective way to put your organizational skills to work and prioritize tasks to save
time.
What should you complete today?
What things can you put off until later?
Even more specifically, what needs to be done before a certain time today?
Start with that item first, and move down the list until you reach the non-urgent list items.
3. Take Short Breaks
Make sure to set aside time for short mental breaks - 10 to 15-minute time blocks.
Scheduling a block of time to relax for a moment is not the same as aimlessly scrolling the internet when you
could be getting something done.
Mental breaks are valuable and actually jumpstart your productivity.
Choose something that shifts your mind away from what you are working on for a brief moment.
Close your eyes and be still for a moment.
If that’s not your style, recharge by being social for a couple minutes.
