If you were sitting on a time bomb, could you finish every task in the time allotted?

Chances are, you could, or it would mean death. This concept can be used to your advantage, and you won’t have to strap yourself to dynamite in order to use it.

If you want to get more done in less time, you have to really put the pressure on yourself and give yourself the incentive to hurry up and get it done. Most people don’t do this with their day to day tasks and that’s often a large part of the reason that they become too time consuming.

At the end of the day, most people who have big projects on their plates also have big to do lists on their desk. Each day, this to do list will have a few things crossed off, but more will be added for the next day, and then it the list is never actually done. So how do we remedy this? How can we get more done with the same amount of time we have each day? It’s often a matter of ignoring large chunks of our list.

Ignore my to do list?!? You must be insane!!!!!
