Getting everything done each day, staying on task, and maintaining a healthy balance in life isn't something that people just fall into.No one accidentally completes their goal list — they consistently work towards them day after day, following a carefully laid out plan. But the reality is that most people have numerous obstacles to overcome, and many of those roadblocks are completely out of their control.But in my years of experience, one of the main differences between someone who gets things done and someone who doesn't is their ability to leverage their time. The person who knows how to get the most out of their day is the one who gets ahead while the person who lets life happen around them tends to flounder.

Five ways to leverage your time There are only 24 hours in a day, but the way you use them matters.Here are some steps you can take to better manage your time.

1. Learn how to get into a state of flow. Flow is when we're in such deep focus that we lose all sense of time, and the work we're doing feels effortless.We're much more efficient when we're in this state and capable of making rapid decisions (since our prefrontal cortex is deactivated).People who know how to trigger flow accomplish major projects and tasks in short amounts of time.

2. Ask who, not how. Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy wrote a wonderful book with this very title, and in it, they write about how we often get stuck trying to solve problems that are better suited for someone else to fix.Instead of wasting precious time fixing the annoying leaking faucet, hire someone to do it. Use that time on the activities and work you're cut out for.People who get things done tend to delegate, hire, and barter rather than waste their precious time on things that would take them forever to figure out.

3.Create systems. Are there things in your life that you find yourself doing over and over?By taking a bit of extra time on the front end to figure out how to automatize and systematize, you'll save a ton of time in the future. People who automate and systematize don't get bogged down with menial tasks and complain about all the time they're wasting on emails, calls, or spreadsheets.They have all that extra time to devote to high-value work instead.

4.Prioritize and eliminate. Get clear on what's truly important to you, prioritize it in your schedule, and eliminate anything that isn't it.It's amazing what we can accomplish when we're clear on what's essential. People who take a few minutes to prioritize their tasks for the day, turn off notifications, and let others know when they can't be interrupted don't get lost in scrolling or reacting because they've set themselves up for success.

5. Make the decision once. Create some rules around decisions you must make repeatedly and then stick to them.When people create blanket decisions that they can apply to daily tasks, they free up their limited cognitive resources and can now spend them on more important things, like being present with family or focused work time.
