INTRODUCTION

You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work.
Gustavo Flaubert

Time management is a set of skills, tools, and systems that work together to help you get more value out of your time and use it to accomplish what you want. It covers many different areas from your day-to-day actions to your long term goals. Therefore, it is often thought of or presented as a set of time management skills; the theory is that once we master the time management skills, we'll be more organized, efficient, and happier. Time management can be interpreted in several ways. But it is commonly understood as proper allocation of time in terms of maximizing it by accomplishing more tasks. It could be applied to a lot of situations, whether in school, or work, and basically everywhere that requires something to get done within a certain period of time. Time Management In Focus With a lot of things to do in a span of 24 hours, most people have a difficult time setting their priorities and recognizing what are the things that must be done first. You have to condition yourself to do the most important or most urgent tasks first. This is what sets responsible people apart from those who arent. Knowing what things to prioritize first will help you to overcome all those distractions along the way. However, recognizing your priorities is just mainly your first step. Instead, youd create a mental note for what you are set to do for the rest of the day. By doing this, you are not only able to set your priorities but develop a sense of responsibility that will prove helpful in the long run. Knowing what your priorities are is just the first step. Relaxation is also an important factor in our everyday activities. The best thing to do is to initiate periodic rest times ideally 10 minutes every 2 hours in order to relax our mind and muscles from the stressful.

Why Time Management is so important?

IMPORTANCE OF TIME MANAGEMENT


When a person learns time management skills, it will help them to spend more time on more difficult tasks. Because of everyday time constraints, we need to learn how to make the most of our time with our work by doing more important tasks. Time Management effectiveness handles many different fields depending on what we do. There are many time management techniques that would prove useful for several fields of life. For example, a student can learn and practice time management by applying time management techniques when doing their homework or projects. Using time management techniques and practices can and will help to ensure the quality use of your time and the efficiency of the results that they produce. Rather than working harder, we can work smarter so that we may realize how much time we can save when we use time management practices. But the success of these techniques largely depends on how you appropriately follow your schedule. A person can tremendously reduce their stress levels when following some time management techniques. Having A To Do List A basic aspect for effective time management is creating a To do list. This can help you cope and deal with the problem of losing time frequently. It is not advisable, however, to have several To-do lists at once since it might lead to confusion. It is important that you place your list on a location that is easily visible for you. Hence, you will be able to consult the list right away on what your next task is supposed to be. Prioritize another good method of time management is to handle daily tasks by prioritizing the more important tasks first.

TIME MANAGEMENT MATRIX


From Stephen Covey s book First Things First

about time as a factor. After all, you cannot stop time from running; you have to keep up with it. There might not be dramatic changes that come with proper time management. However, it allows you to become more effective and productive as you continue to plan your days ahead. The Time Management Workflow has seven steps:

Set Goal - This includes everything from starting a company to making $10,000 a month on your blog. In order to have a clear set of steps you need to have a clear goal. Formulate an A tion Plan - This is where you break those goals down into smaller pieces. If you want to make $10,000 a month on your site, first you need to write content and apply to the various ad networks. Set Mile tone - Many small successes equal one big one. Set your first milestone at $1,000. When you achieve it, take yourself out to lunch or buy that latest video card. Frame it in t e ork low - This is where you take your actions, and apply them to your current schedule. For instance, each day you go through your feed reader for two hours. Cut it down to one hour, and use the other hour to learn about advertising programs online. Breakdown into To-Do li t - Now that you have a plan of combining your actions with your schedule; break those actions down into small to do lists. For instance, Monday you will apply to Commission Junction and Ad sense. Tuesday, you will check out Text Link Ads and Review Me. A t on t e To-Do Li t - Put the to-do list into action. Not much explanation there.
