the secret is : avoid multi-tasking
a lot of productivity experts agree .. multi-tasking is not efficient – by the time you get back to the first task , you have lost the ideas , the chain thought and it takes a long time to get back to the groove
instead – try time boxing – allocating , say 30 minutes , to the task and completing it
allocate time as per importance of the task and complete it before moving on to the next important task
on the night before – or better yet – the week before – decide what you will be working on the next week or day and allocate your time towards it ..
keep some time allocated for interruptions or burning tasks for the day ..
