Time management is a learned skill that is welcomed in workplaces and life in general. Organizing your time efficiently can reduce stress and boost productivity. Here is a list to get you started:
6. Keep a planner: digital, written or both. Personally I keep a Google calendar and a written planner. Google calendar has alarms and reminds me of appointments and tasks even when I don't have my written planner with me. My planner helps me keep track of side tasks and makes a month easy to glance at.
5. Prioritize. If you have too many tasks on a daily basis, do the most important ones first.
4. Keep a to-do list and cross tasks off when completed. I like to keep my list on my phone. Being able to cross an item off can give you a boost and make you feel productive.
3. Delegate or ask for help. This is a small weakness of mine, but trust me, you can get a lot more done when you enlist reinforcements to help.
2. Know your limits when setting deadlines. Can you realistically accomplish your entire to-do list in one day? Probably not. Don't set yourself up for disappointment by putting too much on your plate.
1. Keep paperwork organized and filed. If you know exactly where you are keeping a bill, form, or other paperwork you need, you will spend a lot less time looking for it if you keep a file box or cabinet that is clearly labeled. Less time shuffling through papers means more time getting tasks crossed off the list.
Happy organizing!
