Another great tip is to time how long each task takes. Have you ever wondered how many seconds it takes to get dressed, prepare lunch or answer all of your emails? Get a stopwatch (or the timer on your phone) and take a note of how long it takes for you to complete each thing on your checklist. You may be surprised by how much more time, or less time, each task takes! Sometimes I look back after a long day and find it hard to pinpoint where all of my time went. With this, you'll know exactly how long all of your work takes and how much time you spent procrastinating or looking at cat videos on the side. The real value in this task is that it will help you to schedule ongoing. If you've got a meeting that's going to take a chunk out of your day, then you can work out how much earlier you need to start to make up for lost time.
