Time management is one of those age-old struggles that never seem to go away. Despite new technologies that claim to
make our lives easier and free up more of our time, most of us are as over committed and stressed out as always!
Here are some tips for better time management that will help you to get your life on track:
1. Identify the activities in your day that are time-stealers.
Keep track of how much time you spend reading emails, browsing the web and chatting on the telephone because
these are some of the most well known time-stealers. After you track the time that you spend on these activities,
it is likely that you will automatically start to decrease your time-stealing activities.
2. Set achievable baby step goals.
Even the smallest goals can put you on the track to better time management skills. Set a small goal, like
not reading personal emails during work hours for a week or filing your mail the day it comes in instead of letting
it pile up. Once you’ve achieved this small goal, move on to something bigger. Before you know it your time management
issues will be a thing of the past.
3. Set up a plan for time management.
Why? Well, quite simply your efforts to better manage your time will not be noticeable until you start keeping
track of the progress that you are making. Create a simple chart and put it on your desk or refrigerator - somewhere
where you’ll see it every day - then fill out what you plan to do and when you did it. This will help you see at a
glance what needs to be done and as you complete items you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment.
