To make your day easier, avoid (as much as possible) delays, unforeseen events and complications, try to draw up a to do list every morning. It will be much easier for you to organize yourself better, find space for yourself and complete all the goals you decide to set yourself!

First of all, don't overdo it: if you stuff your list of tasks and "tasks" to complete, you will hardly be able to do everything! The best thing is to think of a main goal that cannot be postponed, alongside other lighter ones. Then remember to also take into account the rest times and the times in which you are most productive: if you are not used to staying up late, there is no point hoping to finish that job after dinner by filling yourself with coffee ... try to schedule it in the afternoon!

Again: try to stick to your list as much as possible and don't put it off. If a commitment continues to be postponed, perhaps it wasn't so priority ... Finally, remember to add something you like to your to-do list, a cinema with friends in the evening, a yoga class, a "time to watch your favorite series, and put it on the bottom, as a kind of "prize" for when you have finished your main tasks. It will be a great boost to succeed!

When you can, learn to delegate. If you are too responsible and tend, out of a sense of duty, to load yourself with a thousand commitments and responsibilities, you risk succumbing to stress. Also, doing too many things often means doing them wrong. All true leaders are capable of delegating some of their work, focusing on the activities they carry out.

Of course, it is important that you choose, especially when it comes to work, reliable and capable people, with whom you have an open, honest and direct relationship. And at that point, try not to interfere and let them do the job their way. The important thing is that you have simplified your life and can have one less thought!

This, of course, also applies in the family or with your friends: you are overloaded with things to do or you are experiencing a moment of stress, do not be afraid to ask for help! Put your pride aside and you will see that the people who love you will be very ready to come to your rescue.
