That is wrong. By doing multitasking you are confusing your brain. Doing everything together will only make you stressed. Instead of this, follow your schedule. Stick with your priorities. Do the most important works very first in the morning and rest later. Focus on one thing at a time. You will surprised by the results.

Limit your addictions

Limit yourself from doing the tasks that are not important. For example, watching TV. No, I’m not telling that you only have to do the work and nothing else. You can’t have a break. Obviously you can have. But, don’t make it a part of your routine. Keep distance from social media and TV for some time. Instead of this, do some other mindful activities that will make you feel alive. Maybe a long walk, watching a sunset spend time with yourself is far better.

Learn how to say ‘no’

Sometimes saying ‘no’ does not mean that you are rude or arrogant. It’s just a key to time management. People think that ‘no’ is like being selfish or whatever. But, it is the prevention from the extra stress and work when you are already having a full plate. It needs to be stopped. It is not selfish. It is self-care. Learn to say ‘no’ to everything that you don’t want in your life. Keep your personal life and work-life as simple as possible.
