Life is full of things to do, and often the amount of time we have to get those things done is limited. You might be thinking it'd be great to have a little technology fairy flit in and make sure you always had the perfect amount of technology for the time you need to get a lot of things done.

With the advent of technology and mobile work, it is a lot easier to get a lot of things done. There is no longer a need for you to go online at home and work for eight hours. You can set up a workspace in your van and get more work done than ever before. This article will show you some of the tips that will help you do that.

Create a To-Do List the Night Before

If you want to get a lot of things done with the technology you have, one of the first steps is to create a To-Do list the night before.

This is an easy way to get organized and make sure you're not missing anything when it comes time to start your day. You can do this by making a list on paper or on your computer, or both. It doesn't matter how you do it—just make sure that you write down everything that needs to be done so that you don't forget anything.

If you're having trouble getting started with this method, try adding an alarm clock app to your phone and setting it for an hour or two before your workday begins. This will help ensure that all of your tasks are recorded at least once before they're forgotten in the hustle and bustle of the working world.

Acknowledge the Importance of Routine and Stick to It

Routine is key to productivity.

You've probably heard it before, but it bears repeating: routine is essential to productivity. If you don't know what you're going to do, how can you get it done? The problem with many people is that they have become so accustomed to being busy that they don't actually have time for anything else—not even thinking about what they should be doing next.

So how do we keep ourselves on track? We establish routines, and we stick with them. Routine is important for two reasons: first, it gives us a sense of control over our lives; second, it makes every day feel like a little bit less of a struggle—because we know what's coming next.

Set a Time Limit on Your Daily To-Dos

In the age of the internet, it can be difficult to focus on one task for an extended period of time. We're distracted by everything from pictures of cats to a blaring notification that our friends are streaming "The Office" on Netflix.

In order to combat this distraction, we recommend setting a time limit on your daily to-dos. For example, you might decide to spend no more than two hours each day working on your most important task (like writing a book or cleaning your apartment). Once you hit that limit, you can take a break and do something else—but don't forget about those other things! You have limited time in your day and you need to use it wisely.

Utilize Your Technology Tools

Technology is an amazing tool, but it's also a double-edged sword.

It can help you get so much done in the world and make your life easier, but it can also be used against you.

There are so many things that technology can do for us, but it's up to us to use it productively.

We all have the same amount of time in a day: 24 hours. The difference between people who get a lot done and those who don't is often how they use that time. We have to make sure we're using our time wisely and not wasting any of it.

Make sure you're not spending too much time on social media or other distracting websites. You can't get anything else done if you're trying to keep up with everyone else's lives!

You might think that watching videos on YouTube or reading articles on Wikipedia will help you learn more about something specific, but often times these activities will just waste your time because they aren't as effective as actually reading books or going to classes at school or work would be!

It’s easy for old routines to become addictive habits. Try taking a “digital detox” or “social media cleanse” to allow yourself to reset. Perhaps you’ll discover lost hours that you didn’t even realize you had in your day.

Takeaway

Whether your goals are work or school related, or something else, technology can make it much easier to get things done, when you know how to use it. These tips may seem simple in nature, but they will help you control how you use your time much more than you may expect. The end goal is to prevent distractions and wasting time and get the things on your list done.
