Do you have a limited amount of time and too much to get done? If so, it’s time to learn how to manage your time. Let’s jump right into ten rapid-fire time management tips.
Add Time Limits to Tasks
As you create your to-do list, add an allotted amount of time to complete each task. This will keep you from getting absorbed in a specific task and keep you aware of the passing time.
Use a Calendar (Physical or Digital)
Keep track of your future commitments by maintaining a physical or digital calendar.
Understand Your Deadlines
Every task on your to-do list should have a deadline. If it doesn’t, assign a deadline or ask for a deadline from the person who gave you the task.
Create a Daily Plan
Craft a plan every day when you get into the office, or even when you wake up.
Have a Clock in Your Line of Sight
Whatever it is you're working on, add a clock (beyond the one on your computer) to your line of sight. This practice will make you intimately aware of the time, which in turn will keep you on task.
Practice Ignoring Distractions
Distractions are the enemy of time management. Become aware of your distractions and eliminate them.
Track How Much Time You Spend
How much time is each task taking you? Is it in line with the allotted time that you designated?
Eliminate Tasks that Waste Time
Don’t be afraid to cut a task, or reduce, such as checking email throughout the day.
Delegate When Possible
Can someone else take a task off your plate? Let them.
Prioritize Your To-Do List
Not all tasks have the same priority. As you create your to-do list, assign priorities.
