Success in business depends to a large extent on how much a person knows how to effectively allocate their own time. Each is given a daily limit of 1,440 minutes per day. And how to use it, a person decides according to his own ideas and skills.
Diary - first assistant
In fact, effective use of time is a skill that school teachers and parents try to instill from childhood. From an early age, the child is taught to follow the daily routine, alternating between work and rest. It will be easier for someone who is used to living by the rules. However, remember that it is never too late to learn how to use your own time effectively.
First of all, define a goal for yourself, that is, what you think should change if you learn to use your own time effectively. After that, it is necessary to proceed with the implementation of a specific life situation. Start a diary and learn to write down in it what you plan to accomplish during the day, that is, make a rough plan. Pay special attention to the word "exemplary". Often people who are just starting to learn how to plan their time make the mistake of scheduling the day, if not by the second, then exactly by the minute. Naturally, most often they do not fit into such a rigid framework, therefore they are hard-pressed by the failure of their enterprise. Meanwhile, psychologists advise to schedule only 60% of your time, leaving the rest for unforeseen circumstances and self-development. After all, a successful person who knows how to effectively manage time must leave part of it for his own improvement.
Solving tasks by importance
Have you decided on the tasks for the day? The next step will be to differentiate them by importance. Divide your own affairs into most important, medium and least important. In this regard, you will become more efficient in spending energy to solve the assigned tasks. Next to each task, mark the level of its importance with a certain icon. In accordance with the gradation, take the time to solve problems. Devote the most efficient time of your working day to important matters.
Don't forget to achieve results. When planning the next thing, you are waiting for some result. So, briefly describe your expectations, and then compare with what happened in reality. Do not match? Analyze what influenced the result, what reasons contributed to the unsatisfactory result. Or it may happen that the result is better than expected. The reasons for success also need to be analyzed, methods, methods, techniques for achieving it must be written down.
Thus, by following essentially simple rules day in and day out, you can learn how to use your own time effectively and become a successful person.
