Every one of us only have 24 hours in a day to work with.
Hence, time management strategies allow you to accomplish more within a few
hours, instead of having to extend your work on a single task for days. Here
are a few strategies that you can apply to achieve that:
1.) List Down Your Activities
It need not be overemphasized that you have to learn how to
prioritize your work. Meaning, you must set aside the less important tasks so
you can focus on the more urgent ones. When you learn how to do this
effectively, you can easily accomplish whatever it is you need to do within a
shorter time. Make it a habit to write down a list of things to do. If you want
to be really specific, break down all that you have to do within a day and in
the order that you want them to get done.
As you list down your set of tasks to do, you have to
identify which ones are long or short-term projects. Hence, you will be able to
determine how much time you can allot for them within a day. A short-term task
might be accomplished within, say a couple of hours. Meanwhile, for long-term
tasks, you can try allotting 1 or 2 hours each day until when you intend to
finish them. Hence, breaking down tasks would make it more efficient for you as
you won't find it too strenuous.
2.) Allocating Time
Once you have your list, you now have to decide on how much
time to allocate for each task or project you have set out to do for the day.
Some tasks eat up a lot of time, so you have to be aware which are those. So as
not to end up wasting so much time on one task, you have to provide time limits
on each task so you can easily move on to the next.
