10 Things Successful Women do when There's Work to Be Done ...

You'll never get all of your work done if you're not even sure what you have to do. That's why you should start your days by creating a to-do list. Write down all of the things that you need to get done, no matter how small. Even if you think you'll remember it later, you should jot it down, just to be safe. Once you finish up the list, you can start crossing items off of it.

You're never going to get your work done if you keep seeing notifications pop up on your phone. Eventually, the temptation will be too much for you and you'll end up checking your texts, then your Facebook, then your Instagram, then your SnapChat. To avoid all of those distractions, all you have to do is turn your phone off.

If you have ten different things to do, you're going to feel overwhelmed. That's why you can't think about all of your tasks at once. Pick one thing and focus entirely on that. Don't jump around from task to task. Handle one thing at a time and you'll find yourself finishing your day's work much faster.

If you're in a loud room and can't concentrate, you should plug headphones in and listen to music. Don't listen to songs that you've never heard before, because you'll want to listen to the lyrics. Try putting on something acoustic instead. That way, the music will drown out your distractions instead of becoming another distraction.

If you have roommates or siblings, tell them that you're trying to get work done and don't want to be disturbed. Otherwise, they might try to ask you to watch TV with them or go out with them, which can be tempting offers. So make sure they know you're busy from the start.

You won't be able to finish all of your work if you get twelve hours of sleep. You need to wake up as early as you can. That way, you'll have more hours in a day, which means you'll have more time to spend on your tasks and get them done right. Plus, you won't be stressed out every time you glance over at the clock.

If there's something you don't want to do, you should get it over with first thing in the morning. If you leave it go, then you're going to be dreading it all day long. Meanwhile, if you do it right away, then there's nowhere to go but up. The rest of your day will be a whole lot easier if you finish the worst tasks first.

This means that you aren't afraid to ask for help or to seek additional resources that'll make your time productive. Perhaps your friend has skill in the topic or task at hand - ask them for input! Or if you know of a library 30 minutes away that has a useful book that could make your work load easier, make the effort and go!

The worst thing that could happen when trying to get a task done, is when you overlook an important detail. It could be anything from forgetting to press save to completely missing an important piece of information. Pay attention to detail and you won't have to go back to fix your mistakes.

Keep your body healthy and your mind sharp by eating food that are good for you. Foods such as bananas, oatmeal, salmon, and blueberries will keep you focused. And don't forget to drinking lots of water!
