Surely, you also wish the day had more than 24 hours. However, with good organization, you can have enough motivation to turn <strong>the challenge of being more efficient into a habit<\/strong>. Helping ourselves be productive is also the main objective of the <a title=\"Time management simulator\" href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/catalog\/\">time management simulator\u00a0<strong>Triskelion<\/strong><\/a>. This course developed by <strong>Gamelearn<\/strong> offers a series of tips and techniques that we are summarizing in the following guide. Take note of these<strong> 20 essential steps<\/strong> to be more efficient:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1. Focus<\/strong>. To improve productivity, the first thing to do is to define the goals you want to achieve and focus on them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2. Prioritize<\/strong>. Select what really matters and get to it. Focus on those important tasks and do not let anyone stop you with requests that would hinder your progress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>3. Decide<\/strong>. Don\u2019t procrastinate and start working! Avoid procrastination in projects and tasks and, once you&#8217;ve identified what\u2019s important, start working on it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>4. <a title=\"The importance of delegation in your business\" href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/the-importance-of-delegation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Delegate<\/a><\/strong>. Accept that you can\u2019t do everything yourself and pass tasks to those that can be of help.<\/li>\n<li><strong>5. <a title=\"A little advice... Say &quot;no&quot; to be more productive\" href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/say-no-choose-whats-important\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Say &#8220;no&#8221;<\/a><\/strong>. Set your own limits in order to meet your goals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>6. Plan<\/strong>. Set 10 minutes aside for you to plan the day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>7. <a title=\"Use tasks lists and To-day Lists\" href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/problems-task-management-tips-for-managing-to-do-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Use Tasks Lists and\u00a0To-Day lists<\/a><\/strong>. Make a list of the most important daily tasks which you must complete during the day no matter what. Mark them as you complete them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>8. Simplify<\/strong>. Mark only three important daily tasks, so you don\u2019t lose your motivation and can concentrate your energies on the most essential and indispensable tasks to be done.<\/li>\n<li><strong> 9.<a title=\"Stop pre-occupations now!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/learn-how-to-stop-pre-occupations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Stop Pre-Occupations<\/a><\/strong>. Make decisions about those things you have not decided yet. Whether you choose to forget the problem or do something about it, you&#8217;re making a decision that will help you eliminate stress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>10. Allocate<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>time<\/strong> to tasks you don\u2019t like.<\/li>\n<li><strong>11. Do only one thing at a time<\/strong>. We are not multitasking machines; focus on one thing at a time to avoid distractions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>12. Find out the hours of the day<\/strong> in which you are the most productive and do your most important tasks in that time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>13. <a title=\"A guide to make your commute to work more effective\" href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/guide-make-commute-to-work-effective\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Make the most of\u00a0trips<\/a><\/strong> by doing pending tasks on them. Don\u2019t let trips be a synonym of wasting time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>14. Sort and organize your space<\/strong>. It will help you stay focused.<\/li>\n<li><strong>15. Rest.<\/strong> When you feel your concentration decrease, take a break to recover and get the energy you need.<\/li>\n<li><strong>16. A 10 minutes nap<\/strong> will make you more productive.<\/li>\n<li><strong>17. Disconnect.<\/strong> Avoid distractions brought by technology (mail and mobile phone alerts, etc.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>18. Do exercise<\/strong>. Doing sport 45 minutes a day will improve your health and productivity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>19. <a title=\"Work life balance\" href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/work-life-balance-7-tips-to-improve-your-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Balance<\/a><\/strong><a title=\"Work life balance\" href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/work-life-balance-7-tips-to-improve-your-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> personal, family and work life<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>20.
