Because I work from home,  I have to be sure my time management is in point or I can miss something.  I make sure I alternate my tasks,  completing one Work task then one Home task, and so on. Hope that helps!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mathias S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually first do something that is not too difficult and very straightforward. So I can just get started on something and get it done quickly, so I feel like I am successful and getting things done. After that I like to work on the harder tasks that require time and effort and are usually more important. These tasks usually don\u2019t have a clear due date or are due a long time and aren\u2019t super straightforward (work as much as you think is needed). Lastly, when I\u2019m more tired I like to review or get ready for tests before sleep. To both relax a little and feel prepared for the next day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Max Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">By priorities.  Work out my most important tasks and do those first.  After each task assess the new tasks&#x2F;asks that have come into my work and ask myself if they are more important than what I was doing.  If not, carry on with the list and prioritise the new stuff later<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Undine O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I start with those urgent &amp; important chores with a time deadline. Then I push back the due date by a day or two to give myself a cushion of time, in case things take longer or I encounter unexpected obstacles. <\/p>\n<p>After those top priority items, I list everything that needs to be done. Each day, I either pull a mix of chores to match my changing energy or I batch similar chores and work on them in a bigger block of time.<br \/>\nMake sure your top priorities get most of your energy &amp; time.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alison E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I structure my todo in my 4 goals in life :<br \/>\nMy ressources : body, mental, finances, health<br \/>\nPleasure: art, music&#8230;<br \/>\nLinks : friends, family, boyfriend, myself, humanity<br \/>\nImpact : my work as a coach..<br \/>\nthen I circle what\u2019s essentiel for me on the D day<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Erdogan U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Randomly what\u2019s on my mind or carried over.
