There Will Never Be Enough Time To Do Everything

Ask yourself these 3 questions to maximise your output

“There is never enough time to do everything, but always time to for the most important thing” — Law of forced efficiency

One thing I struggle with is the fact that some days, life gets in the way, and I won’t be able to complete everything that is on my to-do-list. And that’s OKAY.

Like everything else in the world, our timing cannot be perfect. Nowadays we are constantly surrounded by a productivity culture and get the impression that getting more done should always be our key priority. But what if you have other priorities like a family, school, etc?

Here are 3 questions you should ask yourself to make what you do the most valuable thing you do that day because there will never be enough time to do everything.

1. If you had to leave town for one month, what would you make sure you got done?

When prioritizing tasks in your life, this question can really put into perspective what is necessary at the moment and what is not.

The tasks you would have to get done before you ‘leave town’ should be at the top of your priority list as you aim to do them as early as possible.

It is often enough if you are just able to get this task fully done, don’t put unnecessary pressure upon yourself to do everything before you ‘leave town’ or you’ll miss your flight.

2. What will make the most difference?

If you were aiming to write a blog post, then work out the same evening, we would often aim to do both in a limited amount of time to ‘maximize’ productivity.

However, say you wrote a blog post the day before but hadn’t been to the gym in a week, working out would make more of a difference in that scenario as your body has been deprived of it for a longer time. Often choosing what will make more of a difference is ‘more productive’.

3. What will be the consequences if not completed?

Trying to do everything and spreading out your attention will often leave you unaware of the consequences of not putting your full focus on a specific goal.

If you had an exam tomorrow but always wanted to be productive outside of that by writing blog posts and attending meetings. The consequences of not putting your undivided attention towards preparation for the exam tomorrow are much larger than not writing that blog post which can be done the day after.

Takeaway

I would just like to reiterate that you should always aim for a high quality of life if that involves doing many tasks in a day. I have just realized content out there, exclaiming that doing more = more success, which is not necessarily the case.

Questions to think about:

If you had to leave town for one month, what would you make sure you got done?

2. What will make the most difference?

3. What will be the consequences if not completed?

Have a great week!
