Creator shares three efficiency tipsfrom @jennalitner

I think you can be more efficient. My biggest pet peeve in this entire world is avoidable inefficiencies. This is probably a product of working in jobs where there were a ton of inefficiencies and it felt like I was just wasting a lot of my time that I could have spent being productive elsewhere. So I'm going to share my top three tips with you. This is coming from someone who juggles two full time jobs, a relationship, a social life, and just train for a marathon. Tip number one, ruthlessly prioritize your to do list. And if you're not making a to do list, that's really my first tip to you. Every time I make a to do list, which is every single day, I take all of the items and I tier them. I decide which ones are nonnegotiables. They need to get done today. Then, I look at my other to dos, and I decide which are nice to haves, which need to happen by end of week, etcetera. I find this just helps me stay really organized and helps with decision fatigue. Tip number two is do the prep work. You don't have to do everything all at once. You will be shocked by how much you can get done in the span of a day because you'll have twenty minutes here or fifteen minutes there. And context switching, although very challenging, is a practice skill. And I really think doing the prep work ahead of time allows you to be more productive with your context switching. My last tip is work when you feel inspired to work. I am not suggesting that everyone needs to work at all hours of the day. I try to take on all of my most challenging items first thing in the morning because that's when my brain is working best, frankly. From 5AM to 9AM, I am the most productive human being on the planet. At 4PM, my brain hardly worse, and I just leave that for the low hanging fruit for the day.
