Do NOT Use To-Do ListsOne of the biggest issues I see for most accountants is believing that to-do lists are the best option for getting things done. Unfortunately, to-do lists are not as effective as you might think because of one very important factor - you have a human brain.The truth is that to-do lists are incredibly overwhelming to the human brain.Instead, learn to calendar everything more effectively in order to reduce decision fatigue and procrastination, as well as improve your productivity.2. Properly Estimate The Amount Of TimeWhen estimating the amount of time to get something done, it’s important that you ask the right question. It’s not about asking, “How long is this going to take?” It’s about asking, “How long am I GIVING MYSELF to get it done?” You are in charge.But be careful of Parkinson's LawParkinson's Law states that work will expand to the time you give it. The same project can take a month or a week, depending on the time boundaries you intentionally choose. 3. Assess Your Follow ThroughWhile anyone can schedule time on a calendar, it's your ability to follow through that makes all the difference. The only reason you're not following through is that you simply haven't yet learned how to manage your brain.The key to better time management for accountants - mind management.The truth is that your brain plays a critical role in your productivity as it is responsible for processing information, making decisions, and regulating focus and attention. By implementing strategies that align with the brain's natural functioning, you can enhance your productivity and achieve better results.Ready to Start Improving Your Productivity?
