The pickle jar theory:
Most of the successful people follow this theory, which works on simple mantra. Imagine time is an empty pickle jar and you have to fill it with rocks, pebbles, sand and water. Difficult and huge tasks are rocks that require immediate action, get done with them first and slowly move towards other tasks that are pebbles or sand.
Reduce your to-do list:
It is important to have a to-do list but don’t make it too long. Don’t put more than 3 or 4 tasks in one day. This will increase your focus, help you in identifying tough tasks and you will get time for yourself too.
Learn to say ‘no’:
Many successful people swear by this rule. Don’t yes to work that you can’t handle or complete. A humble ‘no’ with good reasoning will work in your favour only. If you say yes to small tasks, you will never be able to complete the bigger ones.
Plan your goals in weeks:
Many people who earn crores say they don’t plan in days and think in weeks. This helps in prioritising tasks
