11 Practical Tips for Finishing Your To-Do List Faster

"Work smarter, not harder." Chances are, you've heard this phrase before -- and probably more than once. The philosophy behind working "smart" is to maximize your productivity when you are working so that you can get more stuff done in shorter periods of time. By working smarter, you'll find yourself with more time in the day to sleep, exercise, be creative, and recharge. (Oh, and it just so happens that those relaxing things also make you more productive when you get back to work again -- and so the cycle continues.)

These lists are loose ways of measuring how productive we are: When we've successfully crossed everything off our list, we feel really really accomplished.  The key to getting through your to-do list faster is by working smarter -- without sacrificing the quality of your work. How is that done? Here are 11 tips to help you get through that to-do list as efficiently as possible. Read the entire article 11 Practical Tips for Finishing Your To-Do List Faster on Hubspot.
