Some of the advantages of time management
are:
Gain time.
Motivates and initiates.
Reduces avoidance.
Promotes review.
Eliminates cramming.
Reduces anxiety.
The trick to successful time management is
setting up goals that work, while having an
awareness of those goals and prioritizing
your list of goals. When you set up an
effective time management plan, you are
growing and upholding a personal
commitment to yourself, with the ability to
be more flexible.
When you have a great time management
plan, you are giving yourself an individual
chance to generate a timetable that works to
suit your busy caseload.
When you create a good plan, you will soon
find time to do all the things that matter
most to you in life. In addition, when you
have a good time management plan, you are
saving your health.
Plans have a schedule timed, which includes
all the activities you are responsible to
handle. Your Master Timetable should
include all of them as well. It is important
that you modify this schedule according to
your time changes.
When you set up a master timetable, you will
need to list the priorities first, and work your
way down to the least important tasks.
It is important that you follow as you write
the tasks first listed. In other words, if you
state on your Master Timetable that you need
to write up some documents for your
business, then do this task first and proceed
to the next task.
Try to avoid handling multitasking at once,
unless it is your job and you are sufficient,
and have laid out a time management plan.
You will also need to include meals, sleep,
family, friends, yourself, and other tasks.
Try to avoid skipping a scheduled task, or
procrastinating, since this will only delay
your plan.
It is important to keep in mind, that time is
essential. When we waste time, we are
wasting money.
After you have laid out a suitable schedule
timetable, you will soon learn that your
motivation has increased, while your progress
is moving ahead. In addition, you will soon
find that your stress level is at a normal
state.
When you are not focused, or do not have a
time management plan, you are only hurting
yourself in the long run.
Most people without a time management plan
often suffer with poor health, insomnia, and
other discomforting issues. Some people even
find themselves in court waiting for the
judge to say “You are now divorced.”
So you can see that time management is
important since it affects everyone around
you, but most of all, affects you.
