How To Increase Productivity

As you could see, I did not update my blog for a few days. I thought that by laying off blogging, I would be able to complete some other work on hand. But for the past few days, I have been doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and in the end, I realise that I haven't gotten much done at all.

I don't know why; maybe I really am a bad time manager, or maybe I spend too much time sleeping, though the last time I calculated, I only spent an average of five hours sleeping on any given day.

My friend told me that to increase productivity, I should make a list of tasks that I should complete the following day. There should be only five tasks with the most pressing item at number one, going down according to priority. And what I need to do every morning, is take a look at the list and work on item number one.

And I MUST complete item number one, then only move on to number two. I was told that at first, such a regimented schedule would be slow and I would not be able to complete all five tasks in one day but it's better to complete whole tasks on hand rather than partially for all of them.

I haven't tried this method but with so many things to do everyday, I do feel like a headless chicken running around. I guess there's no harm trying. I will update and let you know how effective this is.

Aside from blogging. I'm still pretty lost in what you do for living. Hmm..

I do a bit of this and that. Whatever legal that brings in money. Sometimes I do things for free. Sometimes I don't even know what I do.

I wish I could just say I'm a doctor or engineer or accountant but I can't because I am not a professional.
