Introduction

Welcome to How to Manage Time. Going through the following chapters is the first step in becoming more efficient in your work.

It seems that no matter what we do, or where we do it, there are moments when time seems to slip away from us. Whether at work or at home, time management is a vital element in feeling more accomplished in our lives, both personally and professionally.

Today, with our hectic and fast paced lives, there are so many resources that aim to help us make the most of our time. There are manuals and regimens, programs, and gadgets. But does it need to be so difficult? Does allocating blocks of time to certain tasks and activities really need to be so hard? The answer, despite common belief, is no. Making time for our tasks does not need to be as complicated as many make it out to be. With the right tools and attitude, anyone can get all their tasks done- with ample time to spare.

The following seven steps will condense these tools into a logical and easy to follow manner. These steps will help you to create a strategy so you can tackle your mismanagement problems head on. You will learn the ways in which you can plan and organize your tasks in a streamlined manner with easy to learn skills.

You will learn the importance of delegating and outsourcing work, the myth of multitasking, as well as learning the importance of saying no. Time management is something that affects all of us, every day, whether we are aware of it or not. That is why these steps will be easy to follow for anyone, regardless of what you are trying to accomplish.

As long as you are prepared to put in the effort, managing your time in an efficient way will come to you easily. Just follow these simple seven steps...

Chapter 1: Step 1 - Create a Strategy

There are moments when we look up and realize that we’ve wasted a whole day, or times when we are scrambling to finish a task right before its deadline. We frantically write to-do lists that never seem to end, or use reminders, alerts, and deadlines to keep ourselves on track. Yet it seems like we do all this to no avail; nothing seems to work. No matter how hard we try to change our ways, we always fall into our old habits, time, and time again. But why? What are we doing wrong? What is the secret to managing our time in a logical manner- in a way that will last. It all comes down to strategy.

We cannot solve an overarching problem if we tackle it from all angles. It may sound counter intuitive, but the key to better managing our time is recognizing where we are falling short and working on that specific area first. 

The mismanagement of time affects every single person. Students, teachers, business owners, artists, everyone. And the reasons why we mismanage our time are just as numerous. Before you try to force yourself into a new schedule or regimen, you need to fully understand what needs to change about the existing method you currently have. A certain strategy that works for one person may not necessarily work for you. Your strategy and plan of action needs to be particular to your journey and goals.

You cannot expect to see positive results if you follow what everyone else is doing. Take the following information in a way that will be beneficial to you and your work. Know what tips and pieces of advice apply to you which do not. A personalized strategy will ensure that you are tackling this issue in a methodical and logical manner. There are a few ways to begin...

Ask Why

We all struggle with wasting time, to varying degrees. We need to understand where our time goes and how to gain better control over it. For some, distractions are a huge time waster. For others, laziness may be the culprit. Whatever it may be, there is a solution to the problem.

Even the most intelligent and capable person will be hindered by improper time management. We can do everything right yet never get where we want to be. We have to ensure that we are not only doing the right things, but doing them at the right time, with the right amount of time. So, ask yourself why? Why can’t I accomplish all of my tasks?

Take a look at a typical workday and pay attention to where you spend your time. Either use a time tracking app or a schedule to easily track your activities. Every time you switch activities or tasks, jot it down. Every time you start or stop working, make a note of it. Even write all the times you procrastinate and linger.

Once this is complete, you will be able to see what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong. You may be spending inordinate amounts of time responding to emails, or hours talking on the phone. Maybe you spend a long time making breakfast, and not enough time eating it. Whatever the case may be, there will be findings previously unknown to you.

Doing this time audit will reveal to you exactly what is eating up your time. You may think that you only spend 30 minutes sending emails, when in reality, it takes up to one full hour of your day. Only this simple record can reveal the often unnoticeable ways we mismanage our time. Wherever your time may be going, look at what can be changed, what can be improved,
