Chunk down your workload

Many people get overwhelmed by their workload which in turns means that they don’t use their time effectively.  Use these tips to chunk down your workload and use your time better:

1. Write down jobs that need to be done - by writing them down it means you won’t keep thinking about them, especially at unhelpful times like when you are about to go to sleep or just as you are leaving the office!
2. If a job on the list is a large job, break it down into manageable chunks
3. Pick 5 things from the list to achieve each day, these could be simple individual tasks or part of a bigger task.
4. At the end of the day review your list and see what you’ve achieved.  Don’t beat yourself up if you didn’t achieve everything, just assess if it’s a priority for tomorrow - if so add it to the list of 5 things for the next day, if not decide if it needs to be done or can be taken off the list completely.
5. By breaking up you workload in this way, you will recognise what you are achieving each day and start to get through the jobs on your list!
