Focus: Achieve big goals with a small amount of time

Focus: Achieve big goals with a small amount of time

Before, I wrote about the secrets of my favorite time management: that is, you have to realize that the use of time is a choice. So many days and so many weeks are just white sheets. If you don't like the way you choose to fill them, then over time, you can choose a different approach.
A few readers wrote me a letter, and they let me know that although the idea is very good on an abstract level, their current life is still the same. Right now, they only have a few minutes in the west for a few minutes, but they have big goals to achieve. So, what advice can I give to people in their situation?
In order to help with this problem, I turned to the novelist Camille Noe Pegg. Her new novel, The Art of Forgotten, tells the story of two friends and how they deal with traumatic brain injury in one of them - has been published by Duden Publishing. Often, we think that the authors have been working on them for a long time on some of the forgotten towers. However, Noe Peg is trying to use her full-time journalism work and taking care of her only 15 minutes between the two children to try to complete her writing. If you have a big goal to achieve, but have a schedule full of items, try her tips to make the most of any time you have:
1. Just start doing it. "As with most things, working in a very short time is a skill that can be honed over time." Noe Pegg said, "I like to use what I can put into it." A small amount of time to complete the task - for example, calculate my balance of payments or quickly edit the content of the last chapter I wrote. "If you want to wait for the best time, then it will always be Will not come. But if you start doing it, the job will nurture itself. "Starting a project requires some very powerful motivation, so when you next sit down and start working, you know that you are not starting from scratch. This will get rid of your psychological barriers," she said.
2. Minimize the things that distract you and make plans. 15 minutes is enough for writing something, but it's not enough for you to both write and view your Facebook social networking site. "I am an email addict," Noe O Peig said. "I like to read and respond to emails quickly. It's like an instant achievement, which keeps my inbox from unread mail. Fill it up. "However," like most people, I can sit there all day to process emails but still can't stay in this matter completely, so I train myself when I want to finish something In some cases, I will minimize or turn off the window of my email; otherwise, the sound of receiving a new email will be too fascinating. Similarly, I will set aside some specific time, I know I will use this time to do some distracting activities; for example, I have an interval between lunch time on weekdays and around 3 pm, when I will log in to Twitter on Twitter."
3. Give yourself a gold star. Give yourself a small reward each time you make good use of a small amount of less than 15 minutes. "I am very keen on using checkboxes and charts; we have an inherent intrinsic motivation to mark things that have been done correctly," Noe Pegg said. "For my novels, I print. 80 sheets of paper, each with a small letter representing the '1ks' that can only write 1000 words. I put the paper in a box and put it in my desk. I will write 200 words here and write 200 words there. It doesn't seem to have much content, but I know that every time I do this, I let myself get closer to one of those 1ks. One step."
4. Don't aim for perfection. Take the matter as a goal. When you have all the time in the world, the first thing you might do is not to doubt yourself. Noe Pegg said that only a few minutes can help her "suppress my inner criticism", so she can write a novel in less than five months. "Of course, it needs to be modified again -- all the first drafts are needed -- but I have cleared the main obstacles, which is the main meaning of writing the novel first," she said. Then, it is edited with the free time of the small block.
