Time Management Strategies


There are all kinds of devices and technologies around to help you save time.  But the more things there are to save time, the more it seems like we don’t have enough.  Everyone could use a little help getting more done, so here are a few tips on to help you manage your time wisely and fit more into your day.

To be the most productive, try making a plan.  Each project you take on, be sure to plan it out ahead of time.  Include each step you’re going to need to take, and who and what you need to get it done.

Once you have an overall plan, use this to make a plan at the beginning of each day.  Before you do anything in the morning, make a list of what you need to get done that day.  


Start each day by picking the hardest thing on your to-do list, the thing you’re really dreading.  Once you get that thing done, everything else in the day will seem much simpler.  Plus, the feeling of accomplishment will energize you and help keep you focused throughout the day.

If you’re easily distracted and nothing seems to be working to stop that, try removing the distractions totally.  If you keep playing video games, go somewhere without internet access or a TV.  If you keep getting distracted by the kids, work while they’re at school or when someone else is there to take care of them.  The whole point is that not having distractions is much easier than ignoring them. 

If you have trouble starting work or keeping on task, get a buddy to help you.  The biggest problem most people have is keeping to deadlines.  If you don’t have someone to report to, like a boss or manager, then you have less reason to get things done.  Ask a friend or family member to check on your work and push you to keep going or get started. If you really want to get things accomplished hire a coach.  A coach is there to make sure that you work through your distractions and hold you accountable.   If you feel accountable, you’ll get more done in less time.

One of the best things you can do to get more done in your day is to take breaks.  While it seems counter-intuitive, giving yourself a rest every so often helps you re-energize and make better use of the time you do have.  Whether it be taking the occasional weekend off, walking the dogs or deep breathing during the day, or just sitting in a quiet room drinking your coffee, you need to take some time to recharge.
