Being a workaholic is actually not good. They often load themselves over strength, take a lot of responsibility and eventually get emotional burnout. By the way, no productivity and speech does not go! Usually the work of the workaholic is ineffective, since he simply does not have time, therefore it works above the norm.
To be productive and not spend a lion's share of your life, follow these tips.
Tip number 1: clearly defined hours of workIf you work in the office, everything is already invented for you. Sit down for work at 9 am, get up from the table at 6 pm. After that, you do not remember any work mail or about business negotiations, no urgent alterations for customers.
If you work on Freilance, this time is quite difficult to observe. The risk is the risk that you can be busy with solving work tasks. But here there is a way out. Calculate how much time you need to sleep (at least 7 hours! This is important!), Rest, meetings with friends, sports and other necessary classes. Dedule this time out of 24 hours and get the time that should stay to work.
Of course, this figure is too conventional. But you can always adjust the time by bringing it to comfortable for yourself.
Tip # 2: Announce colleagues about their bordersTell me that at the end of the working day you stop answering calls and letters, no matter how urgent they are. The decision of all questions tolerate the next day. At first, colleagues will probably begin to indignant, but over time they will try to contact you in the working hours.
By the way, the client can also be notified that in certain hours you will be unavailable. Then you do not have to do urgent edits at two in the morning.
Before you leave work (well, or simply close the laptop cover), make a list of cases for tomorrow. To be taught even the little things like refueling the cartridge in the printer and the watering of flowers. In addition, it is worth noting at what stage of execution is this or that task and when the term of its delivery is. So you will keep all your affairs under control.
Tip # 4: Invent a special ritual who will be done at the end of workFor example, a computer screen with a cleaning napkin, in front of the table, and if you work from home, change jeans and a t-shirt on a cozy pajamas. So you, as it were, spread the border between the working and free time.
Tip number 5: Apply for helpAsk a colleague to help you if you do not have time to surrender work on time, not at all amid. It does not compromise you and does not make you a bad and incompetent employee. But the non-compliance with Dedlayina is a blow to your business reputation. The leadership does not care at all that you alone worked on the project selflessly. Boss is important result!
