1. Devices

Devices are a very big setback, especially in today's world. It can be hard to stop scrolling once you start, which wastes time and takes your attention away from the task at hand.

2. Worrying

Worrying can have a big impact on not being able to accomplish tasks. It is easy to spend more time worrying about doing something, then to just start doing it. This can also lead to worrying other people which makes it hard to lead them when everyone is worried about what they have to do.

3. Lack of Motivation

Lacking motivation to do a task, or even anything is a very hard thing to conquer. It takes a lot of self discipline to just do something when everything in you tells you that you don't want to do it. If you can't motivate yourself, you can't motivate other people.

4. Anxiety

Anxiety about things makes everything extremely overwhelming. Once it starts, you feel like you can't stop it, and it feels like you can't do even simple tasks, let alone things for your job or other people.

5. Poor Time Mangament

Prioritizing the wrong tasks, and not giving yourself enough time to accomplish any of those tasks is poor time management. If you can't prioritize and plan time to accomplish tasks, it is going to be very hard to lead other people to accomplish anything on time.

This quote is my favorite because I can relate to it. I often get overwhelmed of everything that lies in front of me, but it is nice to remember to just take it one step at a time and I will accomplish everything eventually.

Strategy 1. Plan your day in advance

Writing down everything you need to do, and planning time ahead to accomplish everything makes your day more organized and it helps motivate you to get things done. This also helps with leadership by not getting worried/stressed about tasks and having a plan for yourself and others.

Strategy 2. Clear your workspace

Clearing your workspace before you start your task helps declutter your mind as well as your space. It limits distractions and helps you stay more organized. This helps leaders because it is easier for them to help others accomplish their tasks and do this for themselves, when their mind and space is clean.

Strategy 3. Do hardest/most important task first

dcarney9318 — 2023-12-06 04:09:24 UTC

Getting the most agonizing tasks out of the way first helps to make sure you get everything done. Often we do the easy things first and the hard things never get done. This helps with leadership because it shows you take initiative and can do the hard things as well as the easy ones.
