Create a priority list rather than a to-do list

Not all tasks are created equal. Some tasks are more important than others, and it’s important to prioritize your work accordingly. A priority list will help you focus on the most important tasks first. By prioritizing tasks, you can work smarter, not harder. It allows you to focus on the tasks that will have the most impact and provide the most benefit. It also helps you to avoid being overwhelmed by too many tasks and allows you to better manage your time. This will help to reduce stress and promote healthy work habits. It will also allow you to get more work done in a shorter amount of time.

Start early
