For Better Time Management

The term Time Management is a misnomer. You cannot manage time; you manage the events in
your life in relation to time. You may often wish for more time but you only get 24 hours, 1,440
minutes or 86,400 seconds each day. How you use that time depends on skills learned through
selfanalysis, planning, evaluation, and self-control. Much like money, time is both valuable and
limited: it must be protected, used wisely, and budgeted.

People who practice good time management techniques often find that they:

• Are more productive,

• Have more energy for things they need to accomplish,

• Feel less stressed,

• Are able to do the things they want,

• Get more things done,

• Relate more positively to others, and

• Feel better about themselves (Dodd and Sundheim, 2005).

Finding a time management strategy that works best for you depends on your personality, ability
to selfmotivate and level of selfdiscipline.

By incorporating some, or all of the ten strategies below, you can more effectively manage your
time.

1. Know How You Spend Your Time

Keeping a time log is a helpful way to determine how you are using your time. Start by recording
what you are doing for 15-minute intervals for a week or two. Evaluate the results. Ask if you did
everything that was needed; determine which tasks require the most time; determine the

time of day when you are most productive; and analyze where most of your time is devoted job,
family, personal, recreation, etc. Identifying your most time-consuming tasks and determining
whether you are investing your time in the most important activities can help you to determine a
course of action. In addition, having a good sense of the amount of time required for routine tasks
can help you be more realistic in planning and estimating how much time is available for other
activities.

importancia que hace que seamos más productivos, mediante las habilidades aprendidas a través

Pérdida de tiempo:

La mala gestión del tiempo resulta en una pérdida de tiempo. Por ejemplo, al hablar con
amigos en las redes sociales mientras realiza una tarea, se distrae y pierde el tiempo.
Pérdida de control

Al no saber cuál es la próxima tarea, sufre la pérdida del control de su vida. Eso puede
contribuir a niveles más altos de estrés y ansiedad.
Problem:
Wasted time
Poor time management results in wasted time. For example, by talking to friends on social
media while doing an assignment, you are distracting yourself and wasting time.
 
Loss of control
By not knowing what the next task is, you suffer from loss of control of your life. That can
contribute to higher stress levels and anxiety

SOLUCIÓN
Tener la capacidad de administrar el tiempo de manera eficaz es importante ya que una
buena gestión del tiempo conduce a una mayor eficiencia y productividad, menos estrés y
más éxito en la vida distribuyendo en diferentes horarios las diferentes actividades a
realizar así como las actividades personales.
SOLUTION

Having the ability to manage time effectively is important because good time management leads
to greater efficiency and productivity, less stress and more success in life by distributing the
different activities to be performed as well as personal activities in different schedules.

TIPS

1. Prioritize wisely
Prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency. For example, look at your daily tasks
and determine which are:
 Important and urgent: Do these tasks right away.
 Important but not urgent: Decide when to do these tasks.
 Urgent but not important: Delegate these tasks if possible.
 Not urgent and not important: Set these aside to do later.

2. Set a time limit to complete a task


Setting time constraints for completing tasks helps you be more focused and efficient.
3. Take a break between tasks
When doing a lot of tasks without a break, it is harder to stay focused and motivated.
Allow some downtime between tasks to clear your head and refresh yourself. Consider
grabbing a brief nap, going for a short walk, or meditating.
4. Organize yourself
Utilize your calendar for more long-term time management. Write down the deadlines for
projects, or for tasks that are part of completing the overall project. Think about which
days might be best to dedicate to specific tasks. 
5. Remove non-essential tasks/activities
It is important to remove excess activities or tasks. Determine what is significant and what
deserves your time.
6. Plan ahead
Make sure you start every day with a clear idea of what you need to do what needs to get
done that day.
