It seems impossible to move forward when you have too many tasks on your list. That could well be true for the state of affairs of your CAT Prep this very moment!
On that really long task list, the sheer number can bog you down. Therefore, it is crucial to tick off a few as soon as possible. How should you go about it?
You could start with the one you can finish the quickest. That will get you going.
You could start with the task that is the most important. While the first one will be tough, you will soon feel in control.
Or you could start with the one that is most urgent. That will relieve a lot of immediate pressure and help you prioritize.
How you choose is less important – the more important part is to get going. Hence, even a random selection is better than not getting started and just allow more tasks to pile up!
I always start with the one I can do the quickest. That works for me. I am a momentum guy.
How would you go about it? This could have a big impact on the effectiveness of your CAT Prep.
About the author: Deekshant has sleep-walked through several 100 and 99.9 %iles in practically every section of the CAT. That he is a cricket fan and he writes okay is evident from most of his posts. 1000s of our students swear that he can motivate almost anyone to double his/her percentile through very simple yet powerful inputs. And that’s why every MBAGuru student has direct access to him via mail and Telegram. Oddly, he somehow also finds the time to write songs professionally. And yes … almost missed this … he is an alumnus of IIT Delhi & IIM Cal 🙂
