10 Tips to Get More Done in a Day

(Easy Ways to Accomplish More — Without Adding Hours)

Don’t you wish there were more hours in the day?

I’ve thought that too… but let’s be honest — if we had more time, we’d probably just find more ways to waste it. 😅

Here’s the truth: more time doesn’t mean more productivity.
It’s not about having endless hours — it’s about being intentional with the hours you already have.

So, grab your coffee, your planner, and that “get it done” energy. Let’s talk about ten realistic, game-changing ways to get more done (and still have time for real life).

1. Make a List (Then Make It Smaller)

Dump every single task in your brain onto paper. Then:

• Cross off the things that don’t really matter.

• Circle the ones you can delegate.

• Highlight what absolutely must get done.

Now you’ve got a list that’s realistic — not ridiculous.

💡 Pro Tip: Stick to 3–5 major projects per week and 3–5 minor tasks per day. Any more than that, and you’re setting yourself up for burnout — or at least an impressive collection of half-finished ideas.

2. Turn Priorities into Goals

A list is great — but goals move you forward.
Use the SMART method to turn priorities into progress:

• Specific: What exactly are you doing, and why?

• Measurable: How will you track progress?

• Achievable: Can it realistically be done?

• Relevant: Does it align with your bigger business goals?

• Time-bound: When will it be finished?

Deadlines aren’t scary — they’re clarity in disguise.

3. Time Block Like a Boss

Pick your start time and work backward from your end-of-day. Then assign each project to 30–60 minute blocks.
During each block, focus only on that task.

No multitasking, no “just checking one email.”

Bonus idea: identify your talent times — when your brain is best at specific tasks.
Creative in the morning? Save admin for the afternoon.
Energized after lunch? Schedule your calls then.

You’ll work with your energy instead of against it.

4. Batch Your Work

Batching = your productivity’s best friend.

Group similar tasks together so your brain doesn’t have to constantly switch gears:

• Errands: Do them all on one day.

• Content creation: One day for graphics, one for captions, one for scheduling.

• Emails: Check them twice a day instead of 27.

Fewer transitions = more momentum.

5. Schedule Your Procrastination

Yes, really.
You know you’re going to scroll, snack, or stare out the window. So plan it.

Give yourself 15 minutes every hour (or 30 every two) to do absolutely nothing. Your brain will relax because it knows rest is coming, making it easier to stay focused between breaks.

6. Remove the Distractions

Before your workday starts:

• Do the dishes.

• Move the laundry.

• Close the tabs.

• Silence your phone.

Clutter, noise, and notifications are stealthy time thieves.

💡 Pro Tip: Build a short morning “reset routine” — laundry, light cleaning, coffee, go. This frees up your brain (and your weekends).

7. Get Organized

When you can find things quickly, you save more time than you think.

Tidy your inbox, clean off your desk, and declutter your workspace. Even five minutes of tidying can refocus your brain.

Clutter is chaos. A clear space creates calm energy — and productive flow.

8. Forget Multitasking (It’s a Myth)

Multitasking is just distraction in disguise.
When you split your attention, you divide your results.

Focus on one thing at a time — give it your full effort — and watch how much faster and better it gets done.

9. Audit Your Time

Grab a notepad and a timer. For 30 minutes, track every distraction — phone buzzes, snack runs, Facebook checks.

At the end, count your tick marks. You’ll be amazed at how often you weren’t working.

Awareness = power. Once you see where your time leaks, you can plug them.

10. Give Yourself Credit

You’re not a machine — you’re a human building something amazing.

Remind yourself:

You are capable. You are creative. You are consistent.
You’re doing more than you realize — and it matters.

Celebrate small wins. They add up faster than you think.
