Abraham Lincoln said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”

A: The most crucial task that you need to do anyhow
B: The task that you must do after doing A
C: The task which, if done then that, ‘s good
D: The task you must delegate
E: The task of no value
4. Only do a Few Things at a Time
Take one step at a time. Stay calm about the larger image of the work. Just start with one step at a time. You should complete a task in a step-by-step manner. Accomplish the first part of the task, then go to the other leg.
It helps a lot.
5. Level up Yourself
Learn more and upgrade your skills because the more skillful you are, the easier it becomes for you to complete a task. Remember! Lack of skill never helps in the long run.
6. Break Your Task
Break down the big task into small pieces and start doing it. Focus on only a few tasks, and you will never procrastinate. Understand the 80/20 rule because 20% of your jobs will make up 80% of the results, so focus and eat the ugliest frog again; it helps a lot.
7. Know What you are Good at
And do the most important tasks in a particular hour so that you can get the most amount of work in a short time, and your productivity will increase. Break your day into large chunks of time, be seated, and work until the task gets done.
8. Identify your Most Productive Hours
Motivate yourself because it’s your goal, and you will have to achieve it. So be optimistic and start your work rather than search for motivation and then do it.
9. Be your Own Best Motivator
Develop a sense of urgency, which will pressure you to achieve the goals before the deadline at any cost. Without creating urgency, you will get distracted, but make a deadline and give your 100% to complete that work within time.
10. Create Urgency
Eat healthily, sleep early, exercise correctly, and don’t let technology control your mind.
Remember that “Technology is a good servant but a terrible master.”
