How do you #GoGetIt?

It is almost February and if you have not started to cross off those to-do’s it is time to get things moving.
Last month we asked our followers on Instagram what are some strategies they use to stay focused and get things done and we heard some cool tips we would like to share here:
1. White Noise
Yasmine Hardcastle from City Girl Talks (a nice podcast you should check out) mentioned she likes to work with background noise: “comes from having worked in an office environment for so long” she says. She recommends putting some music on or turn on Netflix into a show you have seen before.
2. Lists
“I live by my lists!” says Gillian from Mom Camp Life. A good way to tackle them is to organize the lists into priority order, two or three bigger and more urgent tasks are looked at first and then move on to lower-priority tasks.
3. The Pomodoro Method
In the Pomodoro method, the workday gets divided into 25 min chunks separated by five min breaks. These intervals are called pomodoro. After three or four pomodoros you are encouraged to stop for a longer period of 15 - 20 min. This way, there is less anxiety around low long you can focus or when you can have a break. According to our friend Ashley Theresa, “[The method] helps me contain that feeling while breaking the project up into smaller segments”.
Regardless of the strategy used to get things done, we encourage you to #gogetit in 2021.
Share your strategy below and you just might see it in a future post!
