You like most people in this world feel like there is never enough time to accomplish all that needs to be done in a day. With work, family, school, housework and a myriad of appointments and errands to run it is no wonder you feel overwhelmed with trying to accomplish all that needs to be done. By following some simple time management techniques you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to accomplish all you need to in one day.
Stop Wasting Time
Spend a few days tracking your time. Keep a small notepad handy and as you perform each task during the day write down how much time it takes to accomplish each task. At the end of each time go back over your schedule and see where you used most of your time. Try to decide if there is a way to shorten the time it takes for some of your activities. Maybe you spend too much time watching TV or surfing the Internet.
Eliminate the Waste
Now that you know where most of your time goes try and eliminate or cut down on those behaviors that are not truly necessary for your day. Maybe you find yourself watching the new on TV in the morning, at 6:00pm and again at 11:00pm. Eliminate one or two of these viewings and you will have added an hour to your day. During your day at work you might find you casually chat with your co-workers for an average of 45 minutes a day. Cut out this chat time and use it more constructively. By finding those behaviors that take up excess time and effectively cutting them out you will find yourself with an average of 2 hours a day has been freed up for more important goals.
Plan Your Day
An important time management technique is to develop an actual plan for your day. Purchase one of the several different day planners that are available at stationary and office supply stores. Look for a day planner that breaks down each day in hourly increments. Plan each day hour by hour and stick to it! If you plan to spend 1 hour on checking your email a day then stop after 1 hour. Do not allow yourself to run over that 1 hour allotted time. You will need to tweak your daily time plan as you find different tasks might take more or less time to accomplish. Give yourself a few weeks to settle into a time routine.
Prioritize
When setting up your daily schedule be sure to set your most important tasks in your planner before less important tasks. This is one of your most important time management techniques. Do not skimp on the time you allot to each of these important tasks. If possible make these tasks the first ones you accomplish in your day. By completing your most important tasks first you feel a greater sense of accomplishment and become more motivated to complete the rest of your tasks.
