Time is a sword, you either cut with it or it cuts you.
There is no way you can defeat time without managing it perfectly because effective time management is a great skill to attain.
To start with, Time management is the simple process of planning and controlling how much time you spend on a specific task.
Good time management enables an individual to complete more tasks effectively: It lowers stress, helping you attain better wellbeing and productivity, which in turn leads to a successful career.
Here are more tips on how to manage your time effectively:
Set your goals: You can do this by having a to-do list of all tasks to be done. Also, use the SMART method when setting goals. And most importantly, make sure the goals you set are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely.
Prioritize what is important: this is more like having a scale of preference. But before that, focus on the most important things first.
You can sort your task into these 4 quadrants. Important and urgent: Do these tasks right away. Important but not urgent: Decide when to do these tasks. Urgent but not important: Delegate these tasks if possible. Not urgent and not important: Set these aside for later.
Set a time limit for each goal.
To avoid burnout, take a break between each task.
Plan ahead: At all times, have a second option you can fall back on if your plan fails.
On a final note, be your cheerleader and not your biggest obstacle. Learn from your failure and win better. In doing this you're strengthening your armour like an equipped warrior.
Defeat your thoughts, don't get carried away, just focus on the deadline you need to meet. Thanks for reading.
