Today we are talking about Tip #5 for Staying Focused and on Track to Achieving Your Goals which is to Chunk Like-Tasks Together.
Prep time and pre-task setup can eat up huge amounts of your time, so chunk like-tasks together. Another benefit to chunking is Reducing the “scatter-brain” effect. Multi-tasking and jumping between tasks reduces your brain’s ability to maintain focus, effectiveness, and efficiency. Examples of chunking your time includes: listening to voicemail/returning important phone calls - reading emails/replying to urgent inquiries – making prospecting calls – seeing clients in your office – creating marketing materials - coordinating off-site meetings with other appointments/errands, etc.
Along this same line of thinking, consider scheduling time to really prepare for the meeting on your calendar (5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes). This helps to ensure you have the right way of being to get the result you want and make sure you aren’t thinking of something you just finished or anything else. Also, schedule time after your meeting to complete any actions you need to, so you don’t have to try and remember them later in the day, two days later, or at the end of the week. Get things done and the move on to the next meeting or activity with a clear head for that meeting or activity. Don’t carry mental baggage with you from one activity to the next. This isn’t productive or effective to getting the outcomes you desire.
Tune in tomorrow for Tip #6 for helping you stay focused, so you can achieve your goals.
