Principles of Personal Effectiveness: How to Manage Attention and Time

One of the key elements is the ability to say “no” to additional tasks that do not bring us closer to the goal. This helps to free up time for really important things and reduce stress levels. It is also important to wisely distribute energy throughout the day: energy peaks are best used for complex tasks, and routine ones for simple ones.

Personal effectiveness tools include making plans, keeping a diary or tracking habits, as well as using pomodoro techniques, to-do lists and calendars. Regular reflection allows you to adjust the plan and learn from past experiences.
