Organise your work into time blocks
First and foremost, you should determine in which part of the day you will be doing what. You might, for example, schedule two-hour periods for routine tasks and insert one-hour periods in between, during which you will focus on more creative tasks and strategic planning.
Delegate routine tasks where possible
Delegate as many routine tasks as possible to other people, such as external freelancers, colleagues or subordinates. The more routine tasks you get rid of, the freer your hands will be to work on strategic tasks.
Do not fear automation
Automation and artificial intelligence can help you significantly, providing you are not afraid of them. Try to utilise the power of automation as much as possible.
Divide large tasks into smaller, manageable steps
Any big task seems daunting and unmanageable unless you break it down into smaller, incremental steps.
Do not be a perfectionist
When working on a large number of routine tasks, it is important not to be a perfectionist. This is because then you can become unnecessarily stuck on some tasks, even if they are not especially important.
Do not be overwhelmed by routine tasks
Routine tasks can seem like a priority and if there are a lot of them, it is easy to become overwhelmed by them. Do not let this happen and always make time to work on non-routine tasks as well.
Prepare a plan for each working day
A great help in trying to control your time is to make daily plans before the start of each working day to define what you want to do and when.
