And they break down tasks into smaller chunks and take short non-work-related breaks in between, which increases their overall productivity. They Set Priorities Following a to-do list is like their primary source of organization. Instead of having an overwhelming number of commitments and little idea where to start, organized people have a clear sense of what is important . They know what their goals are, what needs to be done when, and what can be put off. They start the day with a clear plan of their ‘mo
