It is your responsibility
This very day you should stop saying “I didn’t have enough time to do that”. Because guess what? You did have enough time. You just weren’t able to utilise it and finish the job. Don’t blame time. You are the one organising your schedule and therefore your own time too. Everything simply depends on you yourself - always.
Divide your time into intervals
Are you about to deal with a large task? Then divide it into subtasks that are relatively easy to finish. Especially if you are not very enthusiastic about the job you have to do, working for shorter time spans will make it more bearable. Take breaks, but always go back again to the job. You could work in 30- or even 15-minute intervals: that way, you will better control your time.
Put the activities that are stealing you time on paper
Very often people are not aware of what exactly sucks in their time. Suddenly the day is over and they realise they have done almost nothing. But they were doing something all the time, right? You just need to put together a personal list of the wasteful activities you regularly engage in. The truth may hurt, but make the list anyway.

She was unable to meet deadlines, which drove away her clients. As soon as she identified the problem, her productivity immediately doubled.
