Time management is a skill that we must learn. Which means some are better than others at time management.
Personally at work I have pretty good time management but out side of work, lets just say I’m still working on it.
At home time management changes depending on whats going on what the kids are doing in school, sports and just daily chores.
Ways To Manage Your Time.
Here are a few things to think about when managing time or trying to improve your time management.
- When is it do or when do you have to have it done by.
- Is anyone else involved.
- Is this for pleasure or is it necessary.
- What is most important, what is the priority.
- Set aside time for things or make the time ex. You, God, kids, job, cleaning, fun things, work.
- Hold yourself accountable.
- You should keep in mind what the most important thing is and why.
- Try making a schedule and sticking to it ( you may have to give it a while 3-4 weeks to give time to adjust, time to work out the kinks).
- Find what works for you. You may have to make adjustments.
- Take breaks if needed.
- Set goals and make them reachable.
- Use time wisely.
- Make deadlines.
- Reward yourself.
- Plan.
The top things for me to think about when trying to utilize my time are
- Find whats important/ prioritize.
- Set time aside to do certain things and make time for them.
- Have a reasonable deadline to get it done. Maybe use a timer for somethings.
- Holding myself accountable.
At work I can get some stuff in a nice timely efficient way, but at home the laundry could be 5 baskets full clean but unfolded and not put away.
Sometimes I think I try to do to many things at once, when I should do one thing finish it and do another one.
Are you more productive in the mornings or evenings. Maybe do the things your do not want to do first so that way they are over and done.
Keep Learning and Getting Better
Remember this is a learning process don’t give up keep going even if you have to reset and go again you will get there eventually.
