#5 Focus on One task at a Time

Multitasking is a myth. Get over it! Do one thing at a time, pay attention to it and complete it.  Do not even think about anything else before finishing the first task. Do not shift your focus to something else or else you might end up doing a different task.

 Set goals and focus on completing one goal at a time. To be more organized, eliminate the urgent task so that you can focus on other less important ones later. Some put the easiest tasks first, but I prefer to do it on the latter part. It is up to you, which way works best on your situation.

It's better to save the easier or more manageable tasks at the end of the day as much as possible for when you're tired, you get compelled to complete the hardest tasks. If you put off the hard tasks until the last minute, you'll be dreading getting things done all day.

Cross-out tasks you have accomplished. It feels good to cross-out something on your list right? Just do not get distracted by another task.  If you will not prioritize, you will end up sabotaging your goals.
