How to manage to do everything and not forget anything? Simple technique for every day

In this article I will share a personal system that allows me to get everything done and not forget anything. It is very simple and universal: suitable for any person. The first results from its implementation are visible within a few days.

The system is based on three pillars:

Priorities
Proper planning
Written recording of all matters

Priorities

Determine what is most important to you. Every day we need to do dozens of tasks, but not all of them bring us closer to our life goals. Therefore, it is important to prioritize. For example, a freelancer may prioritize tasks related to finding new clients and servicing current ones. For a girl on maternity leave with a child - activities with the child, scheduled visits to the clinic, etc.
Determine what you can put off until later. Typically, these are not urgent or important tasks.
Put your priorities in writing so you can always look at them.

Trying on things

Perhaps the most unpleasant thing about shopping is the need to undress and dress again a million times. This takes a lot of time, but in the end your hair is disheveled, sweat is flowing from your forehead, and you are in no mood.

To avoid this, dress appropriately for shopping malls. For example, if you are going to pick out trousers, wear shoes that you can take off and put on without bending over - your back will thank you. For the same reasons, a top with a through fastener is better than a T-shirt, since you don’t have to raise your arms again. But it’s better to let this fastener be a zipper rather than buttons: again, you’ll save a lot of time. And fewer layers: this is, of course, stylish, but very uncomfortable in the fitting room.

Proper planning

Every morning I make a list of tasks that need to be completed that day. I take work tasks from the CRM system I use. But you can also plan your working day and keep records of your affairs in a free program in Excel. As a rule, the list turns out to be long and it becomes clear that it will not be possible to do everything. It's not scary.
After making a list of tasks for the day, I rank them by importance. I put important and urgent things that correspond to my priorities first. Then - urgent and not important. Unimportant and non-urgent tasks remain at the end of the list.
Next to each task I put the approximate time required to complete the work, and count the total time for all the tasks that I have already normalized. As soon as 6 hours are reached, I draw the line. Above the line are tasks that need to be completed in a day. Below the line are tasks that cannot be completed; accordingly, they will have to be rescheduled.
The exception is if there are many urgent and important tasks. Then you will have to work overtime to get everything done.
As I work, I mark off the list of things that are ready. If new tasks appear during the day, I add them to the list depending on priority.
All tasks that I did not manage to complete during the day are transferred to the list for the next day and are ranked again accordingly. Of these, urgent and important ones are selected, etc. according to the scheme.
On Friday evening, I go through the list of unfinished tasks that have accumulated during the work week. If something gets carried over from day to day, it may not be worth doing. If it's really not needed, I cross it out and forget about this task.

Payment of fines and state fees

If you add your driver’s license information to your profile on the State Services portal, information about fines will be displayed directly on the site. You can pay for them here - with a 50% discount if you do this within 20 days from the date the protocol is issued.

You can save not only time, but also money if you pay state fees at Gosuslugi: the discount is 30%. Plus, you no longer need to go to the bank and enter different TIN, PPC and BIC under the gaze of an indignant queue: you can do everything calmly.

Written recording of cases

The system works and you don’t forget anything if all tasks are recorded in writing. In a notepad or in an Excel file, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that the list of tasks is always at hand and you close those tasks that are at the top of the list. Those. important and urgent tasks that move you forward.

This system focuses your attention on what is important. You begin to work or do household chores more efficiently, moving faster towards achieving your life goals.

The system can be adapted both for work and for doing household chores, activities with children, etc. In this sense it is universal. But the tips only work if you follow all the rules from the article.

Using the recommendations, you will be able to keep up with everything and never forget about anything.

Watch video

If you need to re-watch a video, find the part you need in it, or generally feel that you can perceive information faster than it is presented, increase the playback speed. Usually this option is in the settings.

What should you pay attention to?

The most important thing is to set your priorities correctly. Then you will have time to do really important things and not put them off until later.
Don't overload yourself. For example, trying to work 10-12 hours a day can result in emotional or professional burnout. Plan to do as much as you can realistically do (usually at work this is 6-8 hours a day).
Standardize tasks correctly. For example, if preparing a report takes 1 hour, do not schedule it for 45 minutes. Trying to add more tasks to your workday than can actually be done will not lead to anything good (you won’t have time anyway).
Record all tasks in one place. For example, in one notepad or in one file. If you write tasks on different pieces of paper, sooner or later you will lose and forget something.
Be sure to transfer the tasks left over from the last day to the new one so that tasks are not lost. You can delete cases only once a week - on Friday evening. Then you will decide which tasks do not need to be done, because... they have lost their relevance or are not really needed.

By implementing this system, you will be able to do everything and never forget anything. You will also relieve your head of the need to remember promises and tasks that need to be completed.

This is a very useful article for me. I just would like to clarify if there is anything to help women. it’s a man who can lock himself in his office, but in our country the situation is more complicated, since there is also a “second shift” after the main job and it is simply impossible to predict and plan for lost time. if my child falls from the street with a broken knee, then what text!? what are the plans?! everything is canceled and the “broken knee” problem is solved. I’m making a to-do list, but it’s simply not possible to complete everything, there are too many of them and everything should have been done yesterday.

Elena, there is an article on how to work at home with a child: It was written a long time ago, so something might have become irrelevant. Let's try to prepare new articles on this topic.

Cooking food

All processed foods are considered harmful by default, and this is unfair. Products that are sold for three kopecks and have a monstrous composition may not be very useful and even dangerous. But homemade preparations can be a real salvation in terms of saving time.

Judge for yourself: to cook, for example, cutlets, you need to cut the meat, make minced meat, mix it with spices and salt, form cutlets, roll them in breading, fry them, wash the dishes and - let's face it - the whole kitchen. If you take 2-3 times more minced meat, the process will not take much longer, but the preparations will save you a lot of time in the future.

Semi-finished products are not only the usual cutlets, dumplings, dumplings, and meatballs. You can freeze stews, casseroles, and even cookie dough.

Preparing the skin for the procedure

Many women are interested in how to perform sugaring correctly. Cosmetologists recommend removing unwanted hairs only if their length exceeds 2-4 mm. Therefore, if you have been fighting hair in the armpits or legs using a razor, for good results you need to wait until it grows back.

Basic recommendations for preparing your skin at home before sugaring:

An important condition is to pre-scrub the skin on which the depilatory agent will be applied - peeling or scrub effectively removes the top, keratinized layer of skin and lifts ingrown hairs.
Immediately before the cosmetic procedure, you need to take a hot shower - this will help steam the skin and prepare it for the subsequent application of the sugar composition.
Next, the skin should be wiped with an alcohol-containing lotion or tonic, which helps get rid of excess sebum.
Depilatory paste with the addition of granulated sugar will not stick to wet skin, so they must be treated with talcum powder or regular baby powder.
The cosmetic procedure causes minor pain, so you can take any painkiller 15-20 minutes before it.

After epilation is completed, ice cubes wrapped in a thin towel or napkin should be applied to the treated skin. This will help prevent redness and irritation of the skin.

Contact your doctor promptly

Very often people do not pay attention to any changes in their body or the functioning of their body, thinking that this is a general trifle, not worthy of attention, which in no case should be done. Indeed, very often such changes can be the first signs of the development of a particular disease. Be more attentive to your body and learn to listen and see what it is trying to convey to its owner. Do not neglect even the simplest diseases, because such a negligent attitude can lead you to huge health problems in the future. Don’t be afraid to seek help from medical specialists, even for trivial matters. It’s always better to play it safe and think about your safety.

What techniques are used

Regardless of the technique, the direction of lymph outflow must be taken into account.

Options:

Stroking is the initial stage from which any massage session begins. It is important to prepare the body, eliminate tension in nerve endings and muscle fibers. Smooth movements of the hands are carried out along, across, in a circle of the shoulder blades. Finish with back rubs to calm the nerves.
Squeezes with a deeper impact on areas in the direction of lymph flow. The reception is carried out slowly. The long back muscles are treated first, then the broad muscles.
Rubbing . Long muscles are involved, starting from the sacral area. Next is the area of the spinous processes with movement to the back of the head. After rubbing, you can return to and repeat the procedure. The broad muscles are worked on the ulnar part of the palms, starting from the lumbar region. It is recommended to rub the area between the ribs with outstretched palms from the spine in different directions. The inner edge of the shoulder blades - with your hands with your elbows pointing down.

Advice!
Rubbing eliminates muscle spasms, swelling, and salt accumulation. The main thing is not to put pressure on the area between the spine and shoulder blades, and use gentle manipulations with your fingers.

Kneading . The technique speeds up the process of removing accumulated metabolic products and improves blood circulation. Massage your back with your hands from the center to the side. Each side is warmed up separately. The process begins with both hands with long muscles. Next, move your thumbs alternately on both sides of your back. Make circular movements with the pads. You can press your thumb on the bones and muscles.
Patting . The process involves the fingertips moving in a circle, starting from the lumbar region and towards the neck. Gradually it is worth accelerating the pace of patting on the back, using your hands like springs, but without affecting areas of unprotected internal organs. This allows you to normalize metabolism, improve blood circulation and muscle contractility, and relieve muscle spasms.

Control the main wasters of your time

There is only one approach that will allow you to keep up with everything at work, rest properly and forget about chronic stress. This is an increase in productivity. You will have to learn to solve more problems per unit of time. The first thing to do is to find and destroy your main time wasters. Everyone has their own, but there is a whole list of common ones:

lack of sense of time;
inability to refuse others;
mess;
confused telephone conversations and correspondence;
checking email too often;
hanging out on social networks, forums and other Internet entertainment;
lack of useful information and excess of unnecessary information.

Identify your list of time wasters and take control of them, otherwise any productivity tips will be simply pointless. By absorbing information from social networks and blogs, you will forget about the information that is truly valuable. By wasting time on empty communication, you will get tired and will no longer be able to effectively negotiate with partners or superiors.

Set up personal filters and let everything that wastes your time pass through them. Cut off the eaters.

How often and what to eat for weight loss?

The norm for most people is 3 meals a day with another light snack. All meals should be approximately equal, fats should make up a small proportion. For some people, it is healthier to eat 5-6 times a day in smaller portions, then the person will feel hungry less often. Try to make half of your diet vegetables and fruits, eat more whole grains, and eat lean meats instead of processed foods (hot dogs, bacon).

What should you do to lose weight? Eat breakfast and don't skip meals. Skipping meals will initially help you lose weight, but will only harm your health in the long run. Also, the resulting feeling of hunger will force you to eat more at the next meal.

How to properly do a back massage at home: step-by-step instructions

The procedure carried out according to all the rules will relieve stress, improve mood and blood circulation in the spinal muscles, and normalize the metabolic processes of cartilage tissue and intervertebral discs.

A back massage begins with working out wide, tense muscles. Particular attention is paid to the lower back and shoulder blades.

Step by step steps:

Place your right hand on your lower back, your left hand between your shoulder blades. Massage the buttock area, slightly rocking the patient's torso.
Bring your left hand to your right, stroke along the entire back, starting from the left side.
Place your hands on your lower back and move them smoothly towards your neck.
Return to the lower back, repeat the process 3-4 times.
Start again from the lower back, without pressing too much, using massaging rubbing movements. Move to the shoulder blades and up to the shoulders, making stroking movements.
Place your right hand on your lower back, and your left hand on top. Apply pressure on both sides of the spine with your index and middle fingers, moving towards your neck. Then - in the opposite direction - to the lower back.
Massage the areas on the sides from the buttocks to the neck with two palms.
Place the heels of your palms on your lower back. Quickly warm up the muscles, starting from the buttocks to the shoulders. Return to IP.
Work on the area of the lower back and buttocks. Stretch the skin along the spine with your thumbs, then the area of the shoulder blades.
Lower your hands to the middle of your back, clasping your palms. Press firmly and work the area to create a fold. Pull one palm back, moving the other slightly forward. Go on to warm up the neck and shoulder muscles with increased movements.
Bring your left hand under the person’s left shoulder, close the fingers of your right hand, and perform circular rubbing of the upper back on the left. Pinch and massage the shoulder blade.
Go to the right side and repeat the procedure.
Clench your hands into fists and work the surface of your buttocks. Tap at a rhythmic pace with the side edges of your palms.
Place your palms in handfuls and pat your buttocks, gradually moving to your upper back.
Using the back of your palms, pat the right side of your torso. Then place along the spine so that the fingers point down. Run your hands along your back in several soft and wave-like movements alternately.
Go down to the lower back, repeat the procedure 1-2 times.
Place your hands on the neck area and massage the muscles with exciting movements.
Move your fingers towards the collarbones. Massage the cervical vertebrae with light pressure.
Go down slowly to the lower back, massaging both sides of the spine in a circular motion.
Place your palms on your shoulder blades, pressing lightly in a circular motion with either your left or right hand. Walk along the entire back, grabbing the buttocks.
Tap on the back, spreading your fingers, pressing the pads on the skin. Pat all over your back.

Ready-made products for sugaring

So, we learned that for this type of hair removal we need only 3 products: lotions, creams, oils before and after sugaring

and, in fact,
the pasta
.

The main function of pre-depilation products is to soften, cleanse and soothe the skin. Such products have antiseptic, degreasing, cleansing and refreshing effects. For example, menthol extract cools the skin and the procedure becomes less painful. There are also products that lift hairs, which, of course, is very convenient.

Sugaring pastes vary in degree of hardness. Soft mixtures are used to remove soft (vellus) hair, for example, from the upper lip and arms. Use a paste of medium consistency to remove coarser hair (usually from the legs). And the hardest paste is used for the armpits and bikini area - there the hair is the hardest and the hair follicles are very strong.

Lotions, oils, gels after depilation, as a rule, are designed to slow down hair growth, cool heated skin, moisturize and soothe and fight the most unruly - ingrown hairs.

Main rules when performing

Experienced massage therapists know how to properly massage your back. The golden rule during the procedure is to do no harm, to carry out the treatment procedure as comfortably as possible, taking into account the patient’s feelings.

Not everyone can afford to conduct sessions in a specialist’s office. The question of how to properly do a back massage at home remains relevant.

The most important recommendations:

Before appointments, wash your hands with warm water. Apply massage oil and cream to the treated areas.
Massage exclusively the areas around the spine, without affecting the kidney area, the ridge between the shoulder blades. All movements should be calm, soft, not strong.
Start the massage from the sacrum, slowly moving your hands up.
Increase the load on the shoulder and cervical region by rubbing and kneading with increased movements.
Alternate stroking with patting, kneading with pinching and rubbing.
It is forbidden to put pressure on the spine or even pat it. This area can only be gently massaged.
The most vulnerable is the cervical region. Requires extreme caution and attention when manipulating.

Additional Information!
During acupressure, it is important to take into account the client’s wishes. It is allowed to slightly increase the force of pressure and massage if this does not cause harm to health.

Nourish your body with vitamins

Treat yourself to seasonal and medicinal vitamins as often as possible. After all, no matter how hard we try, it is almost impossible to get all the necessary components from our usual diet. Vitamins can compensate for this deficiency.

In general, health is the most important thing in the life of each of us. In order to maintain it at a decent level, you need to make every effort, but it is really worth it. By following all these rules, you will be able to notice how your appearance and quality of life will change for the better. That is why, dear friends, love yourself and cherish yourself. After all, a healthy person is already a happy and satisfied person with life.

90-60-90

The ideal parameters, of course, are 90-60-90, but in fact this is a long-outdated stereotype that has ceased to be relevant. You can have your ideal parameters, but still not allow yourself to gain excess weight. After all, extra pounds on your body are not only unsightly, but also very harmful. But the process of losing weight needs to be approached very wisely. Under no circumstances should you fall for advertising of any diet pills, as this simply kills the human body from the inside. Trust only proper and balanced nutrition and systematic physical activity. Don’t try to lose weight quickly, because in order to be beautiful and healthy, you need to spend a considerable amount of time and make every effort.
