We have found practical recommendations for you on the Inuit QuickBase Blog. The author of the tips is career counselor Dan Schawbel, author of the bestselling book Me 2.0: 4 Steps to Building Your Future, which has been translated into 15 languages, as well as many other books and articles.
1. Do not worry about the future so much
Live in the present so that you can achieve what you plan for the future. Nothing but gradual steps taken in the present will work.
2. Decide quickly
Do not avoid decision-making because of you do want to bother or with the excuse that you have to wait until you have all the information. You will never have all the information.
3. Do not waste your time on Facebook
Instead of watching updates from your friends on social networks, use a notepad application such as Evernote and focus on your work tasks.
4. Stop multitasking
It is really not productive. The more things you do at once, the less you finish.
5. Stop trying to be perfect
The worst consequence of perfectionism is unfinished projects. You do not have to check the results of your work over and over again, twice or three times is enough.
6. Do the job right the first time
Give your best effort to you tasks right from the start so that you do not have to redo them.
7. Learn to say "no"
Stop feeling guilty when you cannot help everyone who turns to You. First of all, do your job. Try to explain your priorities to others and you will see that they are not as helpless as you would expect.
8. Eat healthier
An unhealthy breakfast followed by an unhealthy lunch will not boost your energy for doing your work. The healthier you eat, the more energy you will have.
9. Stop dealing with the wrong things
Do not worry so much about what other people think about you. Do not try to change things that cannot be changed. Rather concentrate on doing the best work in the present so that you will not regret something later.
10. Do not complain so much
Instead of complaining about something you do not like, be active and find a way to do something about it. If you cannot change something, do not stress yourself unnecessarily. We cannot control everything.
