Time management
is one of the most important topics that people focus on aside from overcoming
procrastination. When you manage yourself and your priorities in time, your are
able to get more accomplished. Using time management strategies can help you become
more productive and stay within your expected deadlines. Changing how you do
things will improve your time management and productivity. Planning your time
in advance is always a good idea.
1. Work using
the Pareto Principle or the 80/20 rule.
This principle
states that 20% of your work will yield 80% of your results. So be sure to
focus your time on the most important activities and prioritize to get the most
necessary activities completed.
2. Schedule
time for prioritized focused activities.
Scheduling time
and having time set aside for productive work is most important so you can get
things done. Just like you would set aside time for meetings, set aside time
for focused activities. This ensures that your work gets done and doesn't fall
by the wayside.
3. Allow time
for interruptions
Interruptions
like phone calls and emails happen. Therefore when expecting it
it can be built into your schedule. This enables you to stay on schedule
and enough time is built in to account for unexpected activities and
interruptions.
4. Pay
attention to your time and beware of time wasters.
There are a
ton of time wasters out there. If you are attentive to how your time is spent
then you will be more mindful about using your time to your
advantage. So in other words be mindful and aware of how you spend
your time.
Try these four
strategies and check in with how your are doing and how this has
helped you to manage yourself and activities in time. Time is not the enemy
and remember that you always hold the choice to be more productive
and make better use of your time.
