Setting up deadlines for yourself will help you focus and be more efficient. When you are setting deadlines, you may also come across potential bottlenecks you may face while performing those tasks. This enables you to plan for such bottlenecks so you don’t waste time figuring things out while you’re doing the task. This will eliminate unproductive time, which you can use for more productive tasks.
Frog in the morning refers to that ugly chore or task that you don’t want to do because you don’t like it or it's too hard. If you can eat the frog first or do the hardest thing first, the rest of the tasks will be easy and won’t be a problem to complete. It can also give you ample time to relax and spend on doing other activities.

There is always a specific time of the day when you are getting things done quickly. This period is what you need to utilize effectively for the most important job. If you have a task that requires attention, and focus, do it during this period.
I personally like to do the chores that need more attention on the weekend evening because evenings are peaceful when I have exercised, eaten, and cleaned the house. Find out what is the right time during the day to work for you. Schedule the tasks that require focus during this period.
Taking up one task after the other makes it harder for you to stay motivated and focused. When you finish a task, give yourself a few minutes to hit the refresh button before jumping on to the next task. Your source of refreshment could be anything from a cup of Joe to a 10-minute meditation session. Doing this will help perform the subsequent tasks more effectively. This will boost your overall productivity and save you a good deal of time.
Waking up early in the morning makes your day longer so that you have more time to get things done. Your body requires only 6-8 hours of sleep and anything more than that is the time wasted. Some people do wake up on time but they waste their morning by lying in bed for longer, walking around the house, and being lazy.
To get rid of laziness in the morning do a quick exercise or go for a walk. A 20 minutes’ workout or cardio can improve your performance so that you can be more productive during the day.
When you have too many things in your schedule it is easy to compromise the quality. Do not try to do too many things at once. Use your entire focus to get one task done at once. Break the hour into small parts and set a few minutes for each. If the pan is on the stove and you have to take it off in 20 minutes, remove it. You can cook later when you are done doing what’s important. Don’t divide your focus.
