What I try to do is group my to do list so that I have identified a list of things to do when I am not at my best in terms of energy and creativity etc.(such as running errands), so while I do the big important things first as long as I think I will give my best effort, otherwise I hit the task I have identified for my low energy periods.

I think you are perfectly right with the thread. All day long, we are just like some small robots, trying to get at least one of our target done, but at the end of the day, we consume it by staying 2 more hours thinking on what we could do on the next day, to have it done...and again the same work routine...

As i said in the previous post, as a single worker with multiple tasks is hard to get all of them done..but as great man said from this forum "you have to give 110% work" and you will do it.

I think that if organization efforts are efficient, even an hour a day spent on clarifying what you need to do and planning when will save you 5X the time and make the work funner and easier because you can truly concentrate on the task at hand.

First, you have to set your priorities and allocate a time frame for you to be able to work on those priorities.

Second, set aside time for yourself to bond with family and friends. It's never good to celebrate success alone.
