2. INTRODUCTION
Time management is the process of organizing
and planning how to divide your time between
different activities. Get it right, and you'll end up
working smarter, not harder, to get more done in
less time – even when time is tight and pressures
are high.
3. BENIFITS OF

5. Techniques and methods
The tomato principle. The basis of
this technique is focus. By fully
focusing on their tasks the person
performs them more quickly and more
effectively.
So, for 25 minutes, Cirillo completely
focused on solving work tasks, and for
about 5 minutes, he rested. This
approach allowed him to take control
of time-drainers (i.e., distractions).
6. The frog method. We all have
unpleasant tasks that we must complete
nonetheless: make a call, write a report,
file paperwork, correct mistakes and
solve other problems.
The frog method recommends spreading
unpleasant tasks evenly throughout the
week and starting each day by "eating
the frog"
7. The Swiss cheese method. This "tasty"
method of solving problems
recommends you to move towards your
goal chaotically: "biting off" a piece of a
large task.
first, you need to write down all the tasks
that need to be completed to reach your
big goal, and then just start doing them
in any order, in the same haphazard
manner as the holes in a block of Swiss
cheese are spread out.
8. 7 Behavioral time management
Align your focus with your future goals
Say “no” more than you are comfortable
Be accountable to yourself (and only
yourself)
Deal with stress in a way that works for you
Be self-aware enough to know when to
change
Embrace flexibility when there is a better way
9. CONCLUSION
Good time management helps us
maintain control in life. When you
have control of your time, you feel
more in control of your life — having
control of your life gives you power
and freedom, and time management
helps you maintain this control.
