How to manage your time well.

Time management is the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between
specific activities. Good time management is important to improve efficiency and productivity, less
stress, and more success in life. You can make a schedule, prioritize tasks and set a time limit for
every task to manage your time effectively.

Benefits of Time Management

Stress relief

Making and following a task schedule reduces anxiety. As you check off items on your “to-do” list,
you can see that you are making tangible progress. This helps you avoid feeling stressed out with
worry about whether you’re getting things done.

More opportunities

Managing time well leads to more opportunities and less time wasted on trivial activities. Good time
management skills are key qualities that employers look for. The ability to prioritize and schedule
work is extremely desirable for any organization.

List of Tips for Effective Time Management

Make a schedule to plan things ahead.

-Write down the deadlines for projects and plan accordingly.

-Make sure you start every day with a clear idea of what you need to do on that day. This way you
can hit the ground running.

-Allow break time between tasks such as take a brief nap to clear your head and refresh yourself.
This way, you can stay focused and motivated.

Set a time limit for every task

-Setting time constraints for completing tasks helps you be more focused and efficient.

-Making the small extra effort to decide on how much time you need to allocate for each task can
also help you recognize potential problems before they arise. That way you can make plans for
dealing with them. For example, we can delegate a task to someone when we do not have enough
time for our task to be done.

Prioritize wisely and remove non-essential tasks/activities

-Prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency. For example, if the task is important and urgent,
we must do the task right away but if it is not urgent and not important, we can set it aside to do
later.

-Determine what is significant and what deserves your time.


-Removing non-essential activities can free up more of your time to be spent on genuinely important
things.

Implications of Poor Time Management

Poor workflow

The inability to plan ahead and stick to goals means poor efficiency. For example, if there are several
important tasks to complete, an effective plan would be to complete related tasks together or
sequentially. However, if you don’t plan ahead, you could end up having to jump back and forth, or
backtrack, in doing your work. That translates to reduced efficiency and lower productivity.

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.

Poor quality of work

Poor time management typically makes the quality of your work suffer. For example, having to rush
to complete tasks at the last minute usually compromises quality.

Poor reputation

If clients or your employer cannot rely on you to complete tasks in a timely manner, their
expectations and perceptions of you are adversely affected. If a client cannot rely on you to get
something done on time, they will likely take their business elsewhere.

In conclusion, there are so many ways to manage our time well. We should always remember that
time waits for no one and so good time management is important to achieve our goals.
