Everyone is different and perfection is futile. There is no singular answer for how to feel organized, stay on task, increase productivity or use time more wisely. However, I’ve come to rely on a few systems to keep myself in check. If I follow the systems, I have to think less about the big picture and can blissfully focus on the details. This helps relieve anxiety caused by an overwhelming number of responsibilities. That deer in the headlights feeling is the biggest thing that will keep me from being productive and completing tasks.
