As we change into higher, we are able to do things faster and with higher quality.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Up to now, in our series about productivity, we\u2019ve been talking about improving productivity by:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Understanding what\u2019s urgent and necessary (The Eisenhower Matrix)<\/li>\n<li>Doing probably the most difficult things first (Eating the Frog)<\/li>\n<li>Budgeting our day so we slot in routine maintenance tasks (The three\/3\/3 Method)<\/li>\n<li>Setting time parameters so we stay focused (The Pomodoro Technique)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But what happens when we want to learn how you can do something \u2026 productively? Years ago, comedian Jerry Seinfeld shared a method for recuperating at something, which has since been named \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/jamesclear.com\/stop-procrastinating-seinfeld-strategy\">The Seinfeld Strategy<\/a>\u201d. The strategy is easy and easy: do it on daily basis. For instance, if you should be a greater author, then write on daily basis. Whether you&#8217;re feeling prefer it or not. It doesn\u2019t must be good. You don\u2019t need to point out anyone. Just write.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seinfeld went on to say that he keeps a giant calendar in his office and when he completes the duty, he marks it off with a giant \u201cX\u201d on his calendar. There\u2019s something very satisfying about seeing all of those accomplished \u201cX\u201d marks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We will do the identical thing after we\u2019re attempting to change into more practical and efficient at something \u2013 which can lead us to being more productive. Do it on daily basis. You don\u2019t must spend hours on it. In the event you\u2019re concerned about procrastination, perhaps adopt the Mark Twain \u201cEat a Frog\u201d approach and do it very first thing. That way you aren\u2019t tempted to push it off and possibly ignore it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So far as marking off the duty in your calendar, you possibly can determine if a giant calendar is true for you. My Hobonichi planner has a 365 checklist that I can mark off when completing tasks. You can even do a search in your favorite web browser for \u201ctask tracker coloring page\u201d when you want something more creative.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Seinfeld Strategy jogs my memory of something that a former boss of mine used to say, \u201cHow do you eat an 800lb elephant? One bite at a time.\u201d After all, he wasn\u2019t talking literally about elephants. The purpose was the perfect strategy to tackle big tasks is to interrupt them down into small parts. To me, the Seinfeld Strategy is about working on a goal someday at a time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We will use the identical principle with other big tasks. I even have just a few projects that I\u2019m working on immediately that I\u2019ve broken down into 12 smaller tasks. I do one a month. By the tip of the 12 months, I\u2019ll be done. It\u2019s not overwhelming and if I would like to push it off a few days, I can. It\u2019s very satisfying to take a look at the project and say, \u201cWow! I can\u2019t imagine how much I\u2019ve been capable of do. And in just a few months, it&#8217;ll be done.\u201d This may very well be considered one of those 3 routine maintenance tasks that we talked about within the 3\/3\/3 Method.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I feel the Seinfeld Strategy will be very helpful\u00a0with regards to developing recent habits\u00a0and taking just a little little bit of time every day to work on goals. The hard part goes to be commitment. It may well be very tempting after we\u2019re having a nasty day to only skip it \u2026 but we want to stay committed to forward progress. Because as we get well, we are going to improve our productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Image captured by\u00a0Sharlyn Lauby\u00a0somewhere off the coast of Miami, FL<\/p>\n<p>The post Productivity Series [Part 5]: Break Big Tasks into Small Parts appeared first on hr bartender.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Estimated reading time: 3 minutes A technique we are able to change into more productive is by recuperating at something.
