Try to take the stress out of your day.  It is the only way that I have ever found that actually works.  I make a big to-do list and then work at it all day so by night time I don't have a whole bunch of projects lingering over my head that I think about instead of sleeping.

Take control. Remember this...'you work to live, you dont live to work'. Organise your hours better and organise your social life...make time. Life is too short to miss out.

Make lists.  Organize everything so that you know what it is, where it is, and how to put your hands on it quickly.  The things you use most often should be the most accessible, and so on back to "deep storage."  The time it takes to get things organized the way a secretary would is time you will save a hundred times over when you are looking for something.\n\nMake lists.  Make to-do lists.  Put things on your calendar, and check them off once they are done.  Take advantage of the calendar and scheduling functions of your computer systems.  There are plenty of free downloads for this kind of thing; you don't need to spend money on it.\n\nNow, you have your lists.  You have them prioritized.  Then ask yourself, "What's the best use of my time right now."  Look at your to-do list.  If it cannot answer the question, then the best use of your time is re-prioritizing the to-do list.  Once some other task raises to the top of the list, get up and get it started.  Then what's the best use of your time after that?  (P.S. Sometimes the answer is "make a cup of tea and relax for five minutes.")

The best way is to plan any projects you get and timetable out roughly what you are going to do each day/week etc. It doesn't have to be too strict or organized just a general idea. Equally as important is planning the project itself and getting a clear idea of what you're going to do and how.\nWith timetables a great tip is to make two lists - 1 of everything you'd ideally (and are able to) get done in each day and then another shorter list of the things you definitely want to do each day. Then if you have to go out or get any other work, you've also got planned what bits you can leave for another night and know the minimum you need to do at each stage.\nprioritizing different sections and drafting time limits/periods is also a good idea to help timetabling.\nHope this helps! Good luck!

There will never be enough time to do everything that you want.  The best way is to prioritize.  After you determine what is the most important aspect of your life, then make sure to spend each day doing what you love.  For example, if family is most important, then make sure you spend time with your family each day.  You can even multitask...say you love baseball, then spend an hour playing catch with your kids.  This would be a great way to spend time with the family and play baseball everyday.  Mix it up, make it interesting.  Remember it's your life, and you decide what to do with your time.

Use small steps and don't procrastinate.  Think of one or two things that you really want to accomplish and then break them down into smaller parts.  Often the first step isn't nearly intimidating as the entire idea.  Then do it.

Discipline your thinking.  You can control what you think about, you just have to have the discipline, and character to do it.  \nWhenever you notice your mind wondering onto something else, make yourself focus on what it is your suppose to be thinking about.  It will be difficult at first, but will become easier the more you make yourself do it.  \nYou will find that you will become a more productive person when you can force yourself to focus on a task.

I have ADD as well.  What works me best is a timer.\n\nWhen I started this, I would set my timer for five minutes and work for only those five minutes.  When that was up, I would reward myself.  I continued doing this until and slowly increased the time; thereby training myself to work for longer periods.\n\nI now bounce between 15 minutes (for when I feel antsy or weekday evenings when I have several different tasks to work on), 30 minutes or an hour (when I'm feeling pretty driven and I have a major project I'm working on).   Most places I've seen recommend that you work no more than an hour without breaks.\n\nThis may sound like you won't get anything done, but you will be amazed at how much you can get done in just 5 minutes.\n\nETA: ignore Don.  I had ADD well before anyone could tell me what it was.  And I KNEW that I had a problem most people didn't, I just didn't know what it was. When I found out what ADD was (after I graduated college) I was finally able to deal with it effectively.\n\nETA2: desabol has some good suggestions - I want to make some enhancements:\nGetting organized - lifehacker.com has some great suggestions, but I really recommend you start with a to-do list of some kind.  It could be a word document, a 5x7 card stack, or an online to-do - find what works best for you.  This is how I get organized at work.  \nYou don't have to finish one item on your list before you start another.  I often leave projects in the middle and go do something else.  This keeps me from getting overwhelmed with everything I need to do.\nMinimal distractions.  I don't know about you, but very few things use all of my brain.  I find that if some part of my mind is being ignored it can become the biggest distraction of all.  So you need to figure out what are your distractions (for me, it is anything in print and anything that moves), and what can calm that part of the brain that wants attention. Again for me, that is music and I find that photographs of outdoor places also calm me down.\nNotes I write straight onto my to-do list at work. \n\nAnother ADD specific point.  It's easy to get into a what-to-do Catch-22.  You need to wash the dishes, but you need to pay bills, but you need to do laundry, but you need to get the dishes done...\nThe way to solve this is to choose an arbitrary pattern.  I go around my house clockwise (one room per time block) even if the bedroom just needs picking up and the bills are overdue, I'll still start with the bedroom and ignore the bills till I get to them.

No matter how important is everything, definitely you can still prioritise the extremely important from the somewhat important. You can also put a date to each item to schedule it based on deadline. \n\nif you find that everything is equally important and all need to be done immediately, other than the fact that you're screwed, you can also prioritize it based on the effort required to complete the task. Work on the easy win first before spending time on the long task.
