My top 7 Tips to achieve more with less time

In every young creative’s life comes a point, when you have to choose whether you want to be part of a company as an employee or work independently as a freelancer. The value of time and how to spend this time, is a crucial thing in both worlds, but even more important when you are working on your own.

I was lucky enough to experience both worlds in my young career and had to struggle a lot with the concepts of time, efficiency and workload. The Pareto principle states that 80% of a task can be achieved in 20% of the time, but the last 20% may need up to 80% of the time. Finding out, when 80% is enough and when to go the last 20% to perfection is inevitable if you want to make the best out of the time you have.

In the following short article, I want to share some of my learnings with you, which hopefully help you being more productive throughout the day.

1. Set your goal

Everything starts with setting a goal and knowing why and when!

This goal is your compass that leads you through the bumpy road of life with daily challenges and tasks. It helps you not to lose track. This goal should be as specific as possible and if you have no specific goal — a direction is fine, too.
