Planning your budget is a must do for all regardless of how much money you actually have. Try to start your month by fixing a specific limit to your expenditure. Then divide the total expenditure amount into multiple parts namely fuel, grocery, shopping etc.

3. Utilizing your time effectively

The most important and most valuable resource in this entire world is time, and the time flies at a great speed.

4. Cut the distraction

Whenever you are doing an important stuff try to cut down all the distractions surrounding you.

These distractions could be anything ranging from your cell-phone to the cold breeze coming from an open window. These distractions differ from person to person and hence needs to cut-off completely. Many people are addicted to the mobile phone in such a way that they check every 5 minutes in order to view the notifications across different applications. If your phone is troubling you from carrying your work effectively try to switch it off or keep it on silent mode.

5. FOTTHOA (Finish one task then only hop onto another)

It's not at all necessary to do the multi tasking all the time. What's more important is that a particular task should be carried out with full precision and then only the next task should be chosen. Yes, it's true that sometimes we need to carry out multiple tasks at a time but not every time.

6. Use scales

One should always try to maintain a proper work-life balance. It should not be always about official work and neither about house hold stuff, balance between the two is the key. Not only this the personal stuff should be taken care of at the personal place and the official work should be completed at the office means there should be no intermixing like bringing/doing the official work at home until it's really very important or vice-versa.

7. Slow yourself down

Slow yourself down means that there is no need to run for multiple things at a time. Only aim for what's most important to you. We all have developed a habit of running towards multiple things at a time that we all forget about who we are, where do we come from and what actually is our utmost goal in life. So stop, think and then only take your next step forward.
