TIME MANAGEMENT
MANAGING TIME
EFFICIENTLY
All of us have 24 hours to spend
daily. We are all given the freedom to
decide how we are going to spend our
time and where are going to use it.
We all plan our schedules differently,
but one thing is for sure, once we
spend our time, we can never get it
back. So, to make the best out of our
24 hours, here are some tips on how
to manage time efficiently:
Make a list of your goals.
What are the things that you need
to do? When exactly do you need to
get them done? Making a clear list of
your goals and deadlines will help you
create a better schedule so that you
can instantly see those which you
need to prioritize within a certain
time.
Set a time limit for your tasks.
Once you have identified your goals,
decide how much time you are going to give
each of them. Scheduling will help you set
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Result-
oriented, and Timely goals. Having SMART
goals can help you clarify your ideas, focus
your efforts, use your time and resources
productively, and increase your chances of
achieving what you want in life. Setting time
limits will also help reduce stress because it
will allow you to set a specific time for
relaxation without compromising the important
Know your priorities.
Do not put non-essential activities high on
your to-do list. If something is not urgent, you
can set it aside first and focus on the tasks
that need more time and attention. Allot your
time to important things. Once you are done
with the critical tasks, you can then start doing
the other non-urgent tasks. Knowing the things
that you need to do first and finishing them
before doing unnecessary things will help you
avoid procrastinating.
Being mindful of how you spend your
time will make you become more efficient
and will help you achieve goals faster and
more conveniently. No matter how or
where you spend your time, the important
thing is you do not waste it on things that
are not helpful to you. As mentioned
earlier, we all have 24 hours a day.
Successful people know how they can use
those 24 hours to their advantage.
