There are a variety of ways that we can manage our time. I know myself, personally regardless of the ways that there are often for me the issues at hand are not how to manage it rather where to find enough time in the day to do it all? Sound familiar? You're not alone...there are days when I wake up and want to pull the covers back over my head because the list of things to do is so long. Needless to say, we find ways to cope with it. What we end up doing more often than not is stressing over this and that is not good for anyone. Clear your head, and take a deep breath. I have the answers as to how you can take some control over this issue.
I have listed a few strategies you can use to manage your time in a better and more efficient manner;
1. Always define your goals as clearly as possible.
Do you find you are not doing what you want to do just because your goals have not been set properly yet?This is common, and you aren't the only one to be struggling sister...many of us do.
One of the factors which make successful and happy people stand out is their ability to work out what they want to achieve and have written goals which they can review them constantly. Your long term goals should impact on your daily activities and be included on your "to do" list. Without a goal or objective people tend to just drift off personally and professionally. If you have your list, stick to it. In the long run you will save time allowing more "you" time!
2. Analyze your use of time.
Are you spending enough time on the projects which although may not be urgent now but are things that you need to do to develop yourself or your career? If you are constantly asking yourself “What can I do to make things easier for me right now?" it will help you to focus on 'important tasks' and stop reacting to tasks which seem urgent (or pleasant to do) but carry no importance towards your goals. If you have a spouse and children your job i seven more difficult and the days just keep getting shorter. Try getting and using a personal calendar, setting reminders on your computer, cell phone or personal organizer.
3. Have a plan.
How can you achieve your goals without a plan? I don’t even think that is possible.If I didn't have things written down each day I would not only forget half of the list but I would not manage my time well at all. Most people know what they want but have no plan to achieve it except by sheer hard work. What’s the point in doing hard work when you don’t know how to apply it? Successful people make lists constantly.It enables them to stay on top of priorities and enable them to remain flexible to changing priorities. This should be done for both personal and business goals.
4. Action plan analysis.
Problems will always happen when you set a plan. The value of a good plan is to identify them early and seek out solutions immediately. Good time management enables you to measure the progress towards your goals because "What you can measure, you can control".
Always try to be proactive in the achievement of successfully managing your time!! This is KEY!
Time management is not a hard subject to understand, but unless you are committed to building better time management techniques into your daily routine you'll only achieve partial (or no) results and end up right back where you started.You have to commit to managing your time better and remember to include time for yourself.
The lesson that you need to learn is that the more time we spend planning our time and activities the more time we will have for those activities. By setting goals, eliminating time wasters and doing this everyday, you may find you will have extra time in the week to spend on those people and activities most important to you.
