make sure these time slots are available to you (something I highly recommend doing on a weekly basis). This is when you can do your deep thinking, working out more difficult problems, or starting (and completing) individual tasks. It’s much more efficient to begin and complete a task in the same time slot than to start and stop a task multiple times before it’s completed. “The Eisenhower Decision Matrix helps you group tasks based on what’s important and what’s urgent, with tasks that are urgent and important having the greatest claim on your time and tasks that are unimportant and not urgent having the least claim on your time.” Most of these suggestions are probably not new, but I hope this article has served as a good reminder for how you can keep moving forward, making the most of the time and energy you have on hand.

you’ll want to start and complete those tasks that require a lot of focus in the morning and leave more mind-numbing, repetitive tasks for when your brain isn’t operating at optimal capacity.

In the AEC field, tasks that require focus will likely look like: performing quality control audits of documents, writing proposals, or doing more complex analyses. Tasks that won’t require as much focus will likely look like: performing routine analyses, backchecking documents that have already been edited, or writing up tasks to delegate to others. It is important to note that whether or not a task requires focus, it is still important to do it well; you just need more focus to do complex tasks well than you do repetitive tasks! And, if you find yourself doing a repetitive task often, it’s probably worth taking the time to train someone else in that task and start to delegate it. Lastly, tackle large, complex tasks that require a lot of focus during those long, luxurious chunks of the day when you have a few consecutive hours to yourself with no interruptions. These happen rarely on their own, but you can block off chunks of time on your calendar in advance to
