How to handle 50+ working hours in a week?
You should consider using TIME MANAGEMENT COURSE!
As you all know average working hours weekly per person are less than 40 hours per week officially.
Its latest Employment Outlook report, published in 2017, suggests the average German works 1.363 hours annually (which equates to around 26 hours a week). None of the other 37 countries to feature in the study toil for less time each year. On the other hand Mexico is hardest working country of all from the list of featured countries in this study.
I came to the USA in the summer of 2015 and I signed two full time contracts for 4 month period and my minimum work week had 80 hours of workload including both jobs!
CNNMoney provided a little more context about the American worker. As you can see nearly four in 10 workers report logging 50+ hours on the job. So Workload Management is very important thing to know how to handle 50+ working hours in a week .
In order to be more organised I took a Course of TIME MANAGEMENT that includes next steps:
- The Action Priority Matrix
There are 168 hours in a week. Subtract work (minimum 80 hours per week) and a decent amount of sleep (6 hours per each day) and you are left with about 46 hours. Simple Math for Prioritising! You have approximately 6 hours and 30 minutes per day to accomplish taking a shower daily, doing hygiene, eating and interacting with other people. 6 hours and 30 minutes presented on this way sound like a plenty of time because you did well The Action Priority Matrix! - Scheduling
After I got my work schedule I made my own schedule of specific tasks to do weekly.
You need to make sure you first do routine tasks that are a bit boring, because motivation is to get them finished and off of your To-Do List as soon as possible. This leaves you some time free from these details, so that you can work on longer-term, more creative tasks – like researching, planning, and sungazing. - Staying Focused Throughout the Day!
The Pomodoro Technique
The technique uses a timer to divide your work into 25-minute sessions called "pomodori." After each session, you take a five-minute break. When you have completed four pomodori, it's time for a longer break of 20 to 30 minutes.
In my case I was taking lunch break at that time.It's a simple technique, it's easy to use, and it could have big benefits for both your productivity and your health. Frequent breaks enhance your ability to concentrate on a task, which improves productivity. They also help your body fight the negative effects of work overload.
In my case I was taking one minute breaks while I was drinking a lot of water, so I can stay hydrated.
