Do you use a task manager to help you schedule tasks and activities? Many people do. There are many apps out there to help you.
So, many people wake each morning, look at their list of outstanding tasks and feel overwhelmed by thew sheer number of things they should achieve that day.
At thew end of the day, they look at the list again and find they are carrying over quite a few of those tasks until the next day. They therefore feel they have 'failed'.
This is repeated each day, increasing the sense of frustration, of pressure, of failure.
This is no way to become productive.
What they should do is to determine which of the tasks should be done by them - and which by others. They should maintain 3 or 4 important tasks to be done each day - others should be eliminated, automated or delegated. They can then complete those tasks ,tick them off and feel sense of achievement, Their morale will rise, their stress lower - and they become more productive.
They cam also, then, throw the task manager away.
