=== Getting Things Done ===

* Have dedicated place where you work and study that is clutter free.
* Avoid distractions.
* Focus on the 1 main goal you are trying to accomplish.
* Use the Pomodoro technique and work between 25-45 min. It’s great having a break to look forward to. (my technique 40 min work, 5 min journal, wins list, 10 min break) 
* Prioritize your tasks to no more than 3 important things.
* Break tasks down into as many smaller tasks as you need for it to feel manageable. (30 min or less preferably)
* Two-Minute Rule: If a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately.
* Start with easiest task first.
* Do things that move the needle towards your goal instead of busy work.
* 20-Minute Rule: Commit to working on a task for 20 minutes before rewarding yourself with downtime or leisure activities.
* Use timers to gamify tasks and track time. Set a time goal for every task.
* Take 5-10m breaks which can include grabbing a drink/snack, bathroom break, walking or meditation. Do not get distracted by going on social media, video games or anything interesting.
* Use journaling to track your progress.
* Reward yourself when getting things done. Could be as simple as a cup of coffee or tea to help motivate you to get things done. 
* Write your ToDoList the day before preferable at the end of your work/study session so you know what to do the next day. Limit the list to no more than 5 things to do right away.
* Goal Setting: Set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals.
