Do you feel there’s not enough time to get important work complete? \u00a0In the corporate world, a \u201cperennial time-scarcity problem\u201d <\/a>afflicts executives all over the globe. In small businesses, owners wear many hats from marketing to providing services, which can stretch anyone and everyone. \u00a0\u00a0Here’s 5 \u00a0simple ADHD time management tips to help you be productive and get stuff done.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Write down your 3 Most Important Tasks each day.<\/h3>\n

Start your day with your 3 most important tasks. \u00a0Look at your calendar, your tasks, your projects and your goals. \u00a0Look far enough out to assess how much time you need for these. \u00a0Either written or digital, your tasks should be prioritized by your Return on Investment. Pick what has the biggest impact for your work.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Set a power hour and eliminate distractions.<\/h3>\n

Set and protect one hour during your most high focused time of day. \u00a0It’s important to know when you work best which is when you work most effortlessly and with flow. \u00a0A single distraction can set you back 20 minutes so turn off electronics, shut your door, put up a note on your cubicle or have a colleague catch distractions. \u00a0In one hour you can accomplish so much!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use a timer to get started.<\/h3>\n

A timer is a great motivator for you. \u00a0Set your timer for 15 minutes to get you going. \u00a0Timers are part of the Pomodoro technique, a well-known productivity method with intervals of 25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break. RescueTime<\/a> is a free tool to record your time online by tracking websites and applications. \u00a0It helps you understand where you are using your time each day. It’s an automated time for your online time.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Assess the amount of time needed.<\/h3>\n

Whether it’s a task or project, a general idea of how long to accomplish will help. \u00a0There are two truths to this: that we may not know how long and work can expand to fit the time we give it. \u00a0A rough estimate, then doubled, can be a guide. \u00a0It will help you realistically project completion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Time block your time.<\/h3>\n

Every task and project needs an assigned time to accomplish. \u00a0Block your work in chunk<\/a>s, assigned to specific times. \u00a0Scheduling is required to get stuff done. Your schedule can include routines that happen weekly at the same time. \u00a0These routines can carry you through what seems like small insignificant administrative work, work that you may have been trying to squeeze in.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While we can’t really manage time, what we can do is use better tools to be productive. \u00a0Choose just one of these tips to get started on making time work better for you.<\/p>\n
