Follow the 80/20 rule.
The 80/20 Rule, also known as Pareto’s Principle, says that 80% of your results come from only 20% of your actions.
It’s a way to prioritize your time against your most important goals. Are you focusing in on the 20% of activities that produce 80% of the results?
Learn to say no. At times, requests from others may be important to them but conflict with our most important goals. Even if it is something we would like to do but simply don’t have the time for, it can be very difficult to say no.
While it’s great to be a team player, it’s also important to know when and how to be assertive and let the person know you can’t handle their request at the moment. Negotiate a deadline that helps them achieve their goals without sacrificing your own.
