Different tasks require different state of mind
Besides the recommendation to do the most challenging tasks at our peak energy time, we would recommend to schedule different types of tasks at a specific time of the day. The fact is that different types of tasks require different state of mind. For example, even if your peak energy time is morning, but your task is writing an article it is better to do it not right from the start of the day when you need time to concentrate and not at the end of the day when it is very hard to concentrate.
Life is life
Sometimes we intuitively plan certain tasks for certain hours, because we believe our productivity for these particular tasks is the highest at that time. Still, very often life brings changes to our plans and to our state of mind. What we need is a tool to quickly re-schedule our tasks. Calendar software is much more powerful in that case than paper organizers. If you feel you like doing a particular task you can easily re-schedule it by changing places with other tasks or assigning other tasks to other date.
Action plan
- Start you scheduling software
- Select time period for display (you can select the interval from 5 to 60 minutes)
- Drag and drop the tasks across the schedule until you allocate tasks the best way
