Struggling with Time Management? Discover Practical Tips to Boost Your Productivity

Manju27
Hi Friends,

I have compiled a few Time Management Tips which I thought would be useful to at least a few.

1. One task at a time:
Never indulge in another activity while doing something. If you are having a meal, enjoy it but not while conversing with others.

2. Never indulge in loose talk:
Yes, many of us waste our time in loose talk. No more self-adulation, whining, or demeaning others. These things take away our valuable time.

3. Stick to your time:
Time is like money. If you want to accomplish something, then try doing it within a set time limit.

4. Assessment:
If you think commuting to your office takes fifty minutes, then add ten minutes extra to it. It saves you from other commitments.

5. Priority:
Always try to complete the most important task at hand.

6. Delegate:
If there are tasks that can be done by others, please seek their help. This may save you time. However, do not forget to thank your collaborators.

7. Practice:
Time management comes with practice. It is a habit. If you adopt it forever, you may gain immense prosperity.

8. Find out where you're wasting time:
Many of us are prey to time-wasters that steal time we could be using much more productively. What are your time-bandits? Do you spend too much time net surfing, reading email, or making personal calls? Tracking Daily Activities explains how to track your activities so you can form an accurate picture of what you actually do.

9. Create time management goals:
Remember, the focus of time management is actually changing your behaviors, not changing time. A good place to start is by eliminating your personal time-wasters. For one week, for example, set a goal that you're not going to take personal phone calls while you're working.

10. Implement a time management plan:
The objective is to change your behaviors over time to achieve whatever general goal you've set for yourself, such as increasing your productivity or decreasing your stress. So you need to not only set your specific goals but track them over time to see whether or not you're accomplishing them.

Thank You For sparing your Valuable Time:

Keep Smiling.

This is an excellent list of time management tips. I especially like #5... it's really critical to do the most important thing.

There is another good article that relates to #5 that you can find at: http://www.successinhr.com/blog/huma...la-for-success. It's called the $25,000 HR formula for success.

Thanks,
