"Out of clutter, find
simplicity."_Albert Einstein
If we focus
on what really matters on a daily basis, we will massively improve our performance,
efficiency and productivity.
However, to
retain that kind of focus, we need to take care of the small things which can
interfere with our attention during our high-gear sessions.
The
following three tips will guide you to handle the small stuff better so can
free up sufficient mental space to perform the big stuff with exceptionally
quality and excellence.
1} If It Can Be Completed
in 5 minutes, Get It Out Of the Way:
Too often, the
mental attention we expend at remembering a task is more than the physical
effort required to get it out of the way quickly.
When that is
the case, instead of holding onto a necessary little task, we should free up
mental space by doing the thing right away, especially if it can be completed
in less than five minutes.
2} Schedule Time for It:
Now, not all
necessary small tasks can be finished quickly in five minutes or less. In such
instances, we can make a plan to do them at a later time.
Not only
will our focus and functionality improve as a result of this tactic, we will also
gain a strong sense of calm that can withstand the stream of daily
interruptions which normally derail many people.
More-so,
scheduling ahead of time makes the small task a little more significant.
3} Delegate It:
In truth,
some things don’t matter at all in our lives. For those kinds of things, I say
it is smart to delete them immediately and forget them completely.
However,
certain small stuff needs to get done, though not necessarily by us. So, for
those kinds of things, I say we are better off delegating them to someone who
can do them well on our behalf.
Finally, if
we take care of all the necessary little things in our lives through the above
mentioned tips or some other smart tactics; we can create ample space to take
care of the big things in our vision with relative ease.
