Time management techniques are strategies that you can use
to make the most of the time that you have in any given day, week, month, or even year.
We use these techniques to help us schedule our lives so that we can accomplish
everything that we need to do.
One of the best time
management techniques that I know of is to make use of a detailed calendar. Start by
writing down everything you do on a given day - include travel time to and from school
or work, time spent studying, time spent at work, in class, on the phone, watching TV,
taking a shower, eating, sleeping - don't leave anything out. Then, see where you can
add time to your life by cutting out wasted time. Do you spend too much time watching TV
or socializing? Could that time be put to better use? Are there blocks of time that you
are not using?
Once you know ow you use your time, then
decide what you really need to accomplish. Schedule time to complete certain tasks and
stick to it. Don't be drawn away from the plan by outside
influences.
It can also help to make lists of tasks that
need to be done and check them off as you complete them. This not only helps with time
management but also gives you a feeling of accomplishment as you see the list
dwindle.
