Self Improvement Secret of the Day: Always Finish Your Most Important Tasks First
To ensure we are making the most effective use of our time at all times we must put at the top of our to-do list the item that is most important, that will achieve the greatest results for us when completed, or will have serious consequences if not completed.
And we must commit to work on and complete that task before moving on to the second item on our list.
There are variations on this technique, and many other more detailed resources available from time management experts that can make us more productive.
However, the simple actions of making a list and prioritising our tasks, then completing our highest value task before doing anything else, will have a huge impact on our productivity.

“It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?” - Henry David Thoreau

Self Improvement Secret of the Day: It's Much Easier on Paper
Self Improvement Secret of the Day: It's Much Easier on Paper
Most people, even those people who don’t feel the need to write things down, are amazed to find how much more they can achieve by working from a list. The very act of writing down everything we need to do can also unburden the mind and allow us to think clearer.
But just to write our tasks down is not enough; the critical next step is to prioritise them by listing them in order of importance. When seen on paper, deciding our most important tasks is easier, and things that were preoccupying us, may be seen to be unimportant, and can often be deleted altogether, or delegated.
To be continued….

Self Improvement and Prioritising
Self Improvement and Prioritising
The ability to be able to set priorities and deal with our most important tasks first is and essential skills for self improvement and achieving results. We are all busy and there are many demands on our time and it is very easy to be distracted by other people and events. We may feel we have so many things to do that we don’t know even where to start.
Usually the best place to start is to make a list of everything you need to do. Many people keep the things they have to do in their heads, and never write things do. Any busy person that manages to be highly productive and genuinely feels they are performing effectively without writing things down and prioritising them is very lucky indeed, and this is a great skill.

Self Improvement Secret of the Day: Overcoming Frustration (continued)
Self Improvement Secret of the Day: Overcoming Frustration (continued)
There are countless causes of frustration, and what affects one person may have no impact on someone else
There are no simple answers or remedies. Some people simply give up on what they were trying to achieve. Some people walk away from the cause and go onto something else, and find they can then face the problem rationally when they come back to it. Stepping back from the cause of the frustration and making yourself calm down will help us to see things more clearly.
Persistence and determination can often see us through our frustration, particularly if we first make ourselves calm down. Movement can help - standing up and taking a few deep breathes, or going for a walk can help to clear our minds. Sometimes we may need to look for alternatives we hadn’t considered before, or totally different approaches. There are times when we may be out of our depth, in which case we need to recognise this, and be prepared to ask for advice and support from specialists that can help us.

Self Improvement and Overcoming Frustration
Self Improvement and Overcoming Frustration
We all suffer from frustration, and being able to effectively deal with frustration is very important for self improvement. It can be a decisive factor between success and failure.
Frustration can have highly damaging impact on our frame of mind. It can turn a positive person into a negative person. It can inhibit our progress and, in the most extreme cases can completely immobilise us. We can become so wound up with our frustration that we can’t think or act rationally, or we can even become aggressive. Our frustration can often exacerbate the situation and create a vicious circle. If we are convinced that our actions are not working, no matter how hard we try, we are much more likely to reduce, rather than increase, our chances of success.

Self Improvement Secret of the Day: You Can Feel Better About Yourself
Self Improvement Secret of the Day: You Can Feel Better About Yourself
Self esteem is about how we feel on the inside, and how we feel inside will affect how we feel and act on the outside. Our self esteem determines our personality and character, and how we react to the experiences and challenges we face in our lives. It also affects our relationships and how we interact with everyone we come in contact with. And it certainly affects how successful and happy we are throughout our lives.
Having healthy self esteem is really about feeling comfortable and confident with ourselves as we are, and appreciating ourselves as human beings. Nobody is perfect, and self improvement is an ongoing journey. The very fact that we are making the effort to improve our lives will help us to feel better about ourselves and boost our self esteem and confidence.
