Doing Tasks: and Why you DON'T have to Follow Every Single Rule on the Internet

Let me guess: you're here because you don't have any set schedule for your tasks or a routine you strictly follow. Or if you have, you may have been struggling to keep up with everything else happening in your life. Don't worry, I've been there.

There are certain rules or criteria when it comes to finishing tasks. But note this: you don't need to follow them all! You can create yours and still feel less stressed. "But I don't have any time to do this, to do that! I just do things my way and finish as much as I can."

No, it shouldn't be like that. Trust me, you'll complain a lot and get burnt out. If you're looking for simple and easy tips to get back on track, here are five life-changing tips of finishing tasks that'll save your life.

1. Do the hardest parts first, or the other way around. There's nothing like difficult math homework sitting in front of your desk and contemplating it. Instead, finish what's hardest first, and once done, you can go ahead and finish easier tasks. Some people would prefer doing the easier tasks and doing the hardest after. There's no one-size fits all rule. You will have to experiment on this one and see which one works best for you.

2. Pomodoro galore! Set aside a timer for 10 or 25 minutes and do the work! Once it's done, take a five or 15-minute break and set the timer for 25 minutes again. Some also prefer to work longer hours. Magic happens when you have finished work all because of doing pomodoro!

3. Stay away from the bed. ASAP. The bed is tempting, and it will make you stop the work that you're doing and just lie down. Do the work outside, like the living room, or garden, or maybe even sit in a coffee shop and work there. The bed needed attention, you're married to it. But sometimes he or she needs to understand that you have work to do.

4. Set realistic and manageable deadlines. If you're working on a novel, be sure not to set a deadline next week as this will hinder your motivation to go forward. Instead set a realistic goal for that novel, say, one year, and work your way through that. Day by day, small steps at a time. You won't even feel like doing work. Just do what you want and let life just flow.

5. Live life wonderfully, don't think! There are no set rules as to how you should plan your routine. Every person is different and lives differently. Do what you feel is best for you and stick to that! You don't have to be the most perfect individual who has it all together. Stick to what makes you happy and satisfied and you're already equipped to live a stable life.
