Step 3. Divide and conquer
At the beginning of each working day make a list of the things you must do. Find out which of them are of high priority for you, which you can postpone or refuse doing them at all. During the planning you can apply the following principle of priority and importance. Single out 4 groups. The first group includes the jobs that are to be done immediately , the second group includes the issues that may be solved later on, only they should have certain deadline so that they are not forgotten completely. The third group includes tasks that can be carried out without your control, so that you can entrust them to someone else. And, finally the fourth group includes the matters that are not so necessary to be fulfilled since they are not important and necessary to be executed.
Some researchers recommend making such a list beforehand so that you will picture the forthcoming volume of work and then next day you will be full of energy and desire to fulfill them, as you will know what you need to do. And let’s not forget about force majeure circumstances, that’s why while planning the day leave 30% of free time so that in case of unforseen situations you could be easily distracted frrom the list of previously scheduled activities.
Step 4. Do not get lost in small matters
The next principle aims at combining minor tasks into one large, and on the contrary, divide large tasks into small ones. This is important in thr first period when you as a young specialist have some difficulties in determining the priority of tasks and it seems that all the tasks should be carried out urgently. In this case the specialists advise to arrange them in such a chronological order so that every fulfilled task brought you closer to achieving the main goal.
Step 5. First business and then amusements
The beginning of the working career causes a lot of stress to the human organism , it needs to be urgently rebulit, and you should learn to get up early , get used to 9 hour labour and to a contionous brain activity. Of course one can get adapted to any situation,and even an ‘’owl’’ can become a ‘’lark’’ and be pleased in getting up early. But still the scientists can not overcome the animal beginning in any of us.We mean the specific biological hours that can amazingly influence on our ability to work and activeness during the day. The fourth principle primarly calls to be engaged in the most difficult and unpleasant tasks and then move towards simple ones. Such an approach takes into account the biological cycle of human being.
Each of us have noticed that in a certain time of the day he gets more active. It is at this time he becomes maximum capable of working. At other times it is exactly the contrary , you always want to sit back, relax, the experts advise to take a break in work, and for example, to go in for sports. Tharefore, when planning the working day you must pay attention to the biological cycles, keep an eye on yourself for several days in order to determine at what hours you are more active and ready to work.
