The ability to properly manage your time is one of the most important qualities not only for a business person, but even for a housewife or a schoolboy. Keep in mind that the habit of rationally organizing your working days does not appear instantly - it needs to be developed over the years. Therefore, in order not to waste precious minutes anymore, it is better to start this right now.
Necessary
- - a list of all your affairs and tasks for the near future;
- -the schedule of their labor activity;
- -a diary or planner.
Instructions
Step 1
Create a diary or just a notebook in which you will write down all your current affairs for every day. But do not think that it will become a panacea for all ills for you - the diary is just a tool that will be useful to you if you master the fundamental principles of time management, that is, the art of planning your working (and not only) time. It is these principles that should be understood by everyone who is sorely lacking time even for their own obligatory and inevitable affairs.
Step 2
Go over in your mind all the current tasks that you devote to working days to solve. It often happens that a lot of these tasks have to be solved, and, moreover, at the same time. It is this situation that leads to a lack of time, nervous tension and, as a result, depression. Relax. Keeping all your affairs in mind, you can in any case find a way to devote as much time to each of them as necessary, or at least - as much as possible physically.
Step 3
Divide all your tasks into several categories - the priority of tasks should be the basis of your planning. Well, for example, you can divide the current tasks into three categories: the most urgent, the least urgent, and some delay. Divide each of your working days into periods of time, while deciding which of them will be more efficient, and which - less (for example, depending on whether you belong to the category of "owls" or "larks").
Step 4
Plan your every day, correlating the priority of the planned tasks and the efficiency of work in certain periods of time. For example, if the case is in the category of the most urgent, it should be planned for the beginning of the day, when the head is still "fresh", and less urgent business - for the evening. Procrastination matters can be planned for this day, provided that you pay attention to them only if there is time left after more urgent matters. At the same time, never do one thing to the detriment of everything else, try to follow the planned schedule and leave the case, reaching the point, if at this time no less important work of a different nature is scheduled.
