In this issue of Motivational Monday, we look at the power of using ‘chunking’ to be a lot more productive in any part of your life.

Chunking just means you put like tasks together.

When you put like tasks together, you don’t need to switch gears as often, which is often what eats up time.
To do more with less, you must destroy the myth of multitasking and start using chunking instead.

Here’s how:

1: Chunking at work

Do more with less by blocking out times dedicated to specific tasks and group them together: Answer emails for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, but not at other times during the day.

Schedule meetings back-to-back whenever possible, and only on certain days of the week.

Putting these like tasks together maximizes productivity and makes it possible to then create time for bigger, game-changing projects.

2: Chunking for cooking

Instead of pulling out the knife and cutting board every night to start preparing dinner, chop up what you need for multiple meals. Or, while you’re making dinner, prepare the next day’s lunch at the same time. Accomplishing more daily starts with planning out your week ahead of time.

3: Chunking with travel planning

Got a holiday  coming up and know where you want to go?

Is your current strategy to spend a few minutes a day looking at flights, comparing hotels or deciding on activities, then getting so overwhelmed with choices that you put off making decisions until tomorrow?

Chunking can save you. Block off time to make your travel arrangements all at the same time – do this early enough and you’ll likely save some money, too.

With logistics handled, holidays can become a pleasure, not a cause of stress.

Take Action:

How could you use chunking in your own life to get more done with less effort?

Cheers to your success!
