What is Time Management ?
Time Management simply means organising our day in planned way so that we can finish our task on time and still have time to do some other chores . It’s the skill of balancing study , fun and rest without feeling rushed or rushed .
“The key is in not spending time, but in investing it.” – Stephen R. Covey
Why Proper time management makes our life better ?
Ever since I started to manage my time properly , I’ve noticed some changes in my life . First of all , I feel less stressed coz earlier I used to worry about unfinished tasks and wasting the whole day but now I planned my task earlier and able to complete all of them .
I also feel more productive . With a plan I don’t waste my time on deciding what to do next . I just planned and implement .
Another change is focus , Instead of jumping on ten things at once and unable to complete the single one . I now complete one task at one time . this things helps me in concentration and focus.
Most importantly , Time management give me balance in my life . Now I can study , spend time with family and friends and work on my skills as well .
Time Management strategies and tips
1. Planning
Planning the things in advance is the first and uttermost step because we used to waste our time in thinking what to do next and half of our time is gone in thinking I will do this later and later.
2. Priortize Task
Not everything is equally important in our day to day life . learn to separate urgent task from important ones . try to finish high – priority tasks first , then move to the smaller ones .
3.Set Clear goals
Manage time properly is to set clear goals . if we don’t know what to achieve , then our day easily get wasted in small random things . Setting goals saves our time because I know exactly where to put my energy .
4. Stop Multitasking
I repeat my words stop multitasking . we used to think multitasking saves our time , but it mainly somehow made us feel tired and less focused . when we do one thing at a time , we finish it faster and better .
5. Create a Stop-doing list
If a to do list hasn’t been effective for you , maybe this time to make a stop doing list . A stop-doing list is an intentional look at the time wasters that you want to stop . like scrolling reels on Instagram and even long calls or meetings that don’t pertain to your work .
