The founder of the Russian-Chinese transport company RusTransChina, Alexander Strelnikov, reminds us that delegation is not a weakness, but wisdom. You can always competently distribute your tasks among the team and not be shy about asking for help.
"And if someone tries to burden you further, learn to say 'no' with a smile. You shouldn't take on everything at once," the businessman advises.
When planning, Strelnikov recommends not to panic over the number of tasks, but to sit down and list them in different categories: “urgent and important,” “important but not urgent,” “urgent but not critical,” “can wait.” This way, you will immediately see what exactly is worth spending your energy on.
ICI Master Coach, business psychologist Elena Golubovich notes that you don't always have to do everything before December 31. For example, if you have a lot of personal meetings planned to give gifts georgia mobile database to business partners, friends or relatives, you don't have to get through pre-New Year's traffic jams. You can call, congratulate and arrange a meeting to exchange gifts during the New Year holidays or right after them. This approach will save time, nerves and energy, and also prolong the pleasant aftertaste of the holiday.
Alexander Strelnikov also recommends using the Pomodoro technique. Its essence is to divide the working day into 25-minute intervals with short five-minute breaks. And after every four "pomodoros" there is a longer break of 15-30 minutes.
"A walk in the fresh air, even if it's 10 minutes, will refresh your brain. Don't sacrifice sleep and nutrition for the sake of work - these are your resources. And yes, a few minutes of meditation or breathing exercises are like a reboot for your internal computer," the expert says.

Please yourself and praise yourself
Managers, coaches and psychologists advise to make sure to devote time to yourself.
