In this crazy world, efficiency is a key piece to a happy and successful life. Being efficient allows you to accomplish more at a faster pace than you previously could so that you have time to enjoy other things. When work piles up and your time is running low, being efficient is the only thing that will save you from missing a deadline or missing an important family event.
There are a few simple actions you can take to become more efficient in your everyday work and activities. By applying these simple rules to your life, you will be on the road to success and efficiency in no time.

1. Get your priorities straight- It's easy to get distracted with everyday activities. You meant to do something for work, but ended up on Facebook for an hour and a half instead. You meant to study for a test, but watched three hours of TV on accident. These things happen, and the best way to prevent them from recurring is to get your priorities in order and then stick to them. Figure out what is personally important to you and what is professionally important to you, then combine them into a prioritized list. Combining these two lists will help make your priority list actually attainable, because it will include all or most aspects of your life.


2. Stop wasting time- We said it earlier, but stop wasting time. If you want to get things done, there is no excuse for wasting hours of your time on pointless activities. Being efficient means using your time wisely. Use your time wisely and work toward your goals quickly and accurately. The better you get at what you do, the more efficient you will be... IF you don't waste time. This is a very important part of being efficient. If you waste a lot of time on pointless things, you will not become more efficient. You have to admit that your priorities are more important than the time you waste on other things, and then you must have the willpower to omit the wasted time from your day.


3. Have willpower- Don't give up and don't give in. You may have a lot of work to do, but think you deserve a break for a couple of hours to watch TV. It is true that everyone needs a break every now and then, but you can't make wasting time a daily part of your life. Have the willpower to resist the temptation to waste time. Keep your eyes on the prize of efficiency and continue working toward that goal.

Setting goals and achieving them can be a long and difficult process. Many people admit that they are more likely to stick to their goals if they set and work toward their goals with someone else. Having someone there to encourage you is an element of success that people often overlook.
