How to accomplish 30 hours of work in 6 hours
Now, I don't know about you, but personally, a lot of the things on my to-do list tend to take longer to accomplish than I expect, especially the ones that involve some form of learning or activity which isn't fully ingrained in my skillset.
Well, now I've figured out how to get those things done without dread, without worries of it tying up too much time, etc. What I've done is to write down an expected "time for completion" next to each and every thing on my list.
For example, taken from my list for today:
Recrown the guitar. I thought it should take me 90 minutes, but it's not something I do frequently and there's bound to be added little annoyances once I dig into the project. So I allotted myself 5 hours. I figured, even if I have to run to the store for something, or go to a friend's house to borrow something, there's no way I wouldn't complete it in 5 hours. That was the worst case scenario.
Clean bathroom. Ok. That's usually about 30 minutes and it's particularly messy right now, so let's call it 45 minutes. So I budgeted 2.5 hours.
At the end of the day, I've accomplished WAY more than 24 hours of work and still have time to sleep.
I think the key is to keep yourself from getting frustrated when you get tied down to a long project, when you start to go over your budgeted time allotment and suddenly that list starts being a negative influence. So by giving yourself ample cushion to avoid the worst case scenarios, you'll find yourself always finishing ahead of schedule, getting that positive reinforcement; never dreading those "longer tasks" on your list, because now they offer the most opportunity to shave time off.
Another key to this is: Unless you expect from the start to spread it out over several days, don't start a project without adequate time to finish it. Ok, that 2 hour project that you really think will take 20 minutes? Well, if you don't have 2 hours (or close to it), don't try to squeeze it in. Don't force it into a 30 minute block of time if you aren't absolutely convinced you will finish it. Projects gone cold are like leftovers - nobody likes them. Nobody likes what we've already chosen to leave behind. So make sure you have ample time. And DELIVER! With time to spare.
