Life hacking: How to plan your business for a week in 5 minutes

effective planning It has long become a stable expression and is considered the key to successful work. The pursuit of each tick in the list is unlikely to add composure, but to paint the main tasks for a couple of days or a week ahead will not interfere with anyone. We tell how to do it quickly and without panic.

In time management manuals, it is recommended to schedule tasks for the week at the earliest from Sunday, or even from Friday to Saturday. Do not delay the distribution of cases - and Monday morning will not have to meet in the confusion.

If you like applications to do everything for you, find the right structure. There are plenty of planners based on the famous Pomodoro technology, there are serious virtual managers like Wrike. The simpler option is any basic application for notes.

We do not rely on relying on the phone calendar when scheduling tasks for the whole week: as a rule, people rarely drop in there and remember a meeting only when a notification arrives, and few people are pleased to hear the ringing every half hour.

Paper list lovers are reminded of # 365done checklists: you can select a weekly list for various purposes. Good old diary also will not let you down.

Planning according to Eisenhower "it is important - it does not matter, urgently - not urgently" - a rather conditional method: the inability to determine in advance the status of each item of the plan will get out of yourself rather than speed it up. To get started, just make a list of tasks for the week: write down the regular and one-time, household and work items separately. Then arrange them by day and, if possible, by time.

Mark with different colors or symbols (asterisks, exclamation marks, and even emoji) special tasks: plans with high priority, meetings, and so on. You can also mark or put in a separate list of things that you delegated to other people.
