According to "Chris Miksen“ The effectiveness of a workforce has an enormous
impact on the quality of a company's products and services. Employees and
managers who demonstrate effectiveness in the workplace help produce high-quality
results. Companies measure effectiveness often by conducting performance reviews
for their employees, managers and supervisors.
Time management techniques involve a set of principles you need to follow in order to be more productive. By
using a solid time management method, you can be more efficient with your time, make better and faster
decisions, and accomplish more in less time.
There are lots of different ways of managing your time, and they may not all work for you. What works for one
person may not work for another. The only way to know which method works for you is to try some of them out.
We’ve gathered a few different methods for managing your time. Give them a shot and see which is best for you.
1. The Pomodoro technique
The Pomodoro Technique involves using a timer to focus on one task for 25 minutes at a
time. After 25 minutes are up, mark off one interval (or "pomodoro") and take a short break
of 5-10 minutes. Then start over from the beginning.
2. Time Blocking
With time blocking, you can schedule specific blocks of time for different tasks each day.
You can adjust the time blocks each day as new tasks come in or are completed. Each
week you lay out a concrete schedule that tells you what to work on and at what time.
Here's an example of a time blocked calendar:
3. Getting Things Done (GTD)
The GTD method supports greater productivity by using a system of lists, reminders and regular
reviews. By getting into the habit of organizing all the tasks in your mind, you can focus more fully on
your work. This technique minimizes stress because tasks become organized and prioritized.
Capture Collect all of the tasks, big and small, that you can think of. Clarify Determine whether the task
is actionable. If so, decide what the next action is. If not, discard the task or put it on hold. Organize Put
everything in its place. That means adding dates to your calendar, delegating to others, putting aside
reference material for later, and sorting your tasks. Reflect Review your lists frequently to make sure
they are up to date. Engage Use the system to make confident decisions about what to do next
4. Beating procrastination
There are a few ways of addressing chronic procrastination. There are many different triggers that make
a task or project subject to procrastination. Namely, if it is: Boring Frustrating Difficult Ambiguous
Unstructured Not intrinsically rewarding Lacking in personal meaning
Ask yourself which of the seven procrastination triggers has been set off. Then find a way to think
differently about the task you're procrastinating on. If a task is unstructured, for example, start by
imposing a workflow to ensure you get it done.
5. Tracking time
• WHAT DOES OFFICE ERGONOMICS MEAN? Ergonomics is the science of establishing an ideal fit
between a worker, their working environment and the tasks they carry out. A product with poor ergonomics
