Hello you! I have a passion for managing time so this week I wanted to spend a little time sharing some time management tips that you can use to improve your efficiency.? The truth is I need to write these tips somewhere public so that I can remember what they are in 12 to 36 months time because as you can imagine there is so much that can change in that time. There are 9 things that you need to bear in mind if you are to become successful at time management every single day or at least every week. Yes, some weeks are going to be better than others. 24 Hours A Day It is not a cliche, the fact is we all have 24 hours in a day and none of us has more time than anyone else so the most we can do is to manage the time that is given to us.? In my experience, the best way to manage time is to firstly monitor what I do each day of the week. At night before I go to bed I would conduct an evaluation of my accomplishments. This evaluation will involve how I spent my time if I accomplished the things I set out to do. Also, ways in which I can improve for the next day. I find this genuinely helpful because it feels like I am constantly finding ways to improve my best efforts. I become more efficient and remove things that are not helping me to achieve my goals. Essentials Of all the time management tips out there this one is super important because it involves the things that we need to do every single day. Breathing, for example, is super important but it is an involuntary action and although we can manage our breathing by taking deep breaths this happens automatically in the background. Sleeping, on the other hand, is important for us if we are to function at our peak. Personally, I am not a coffee drinker so I need to depend on natural sources of energy/rejuvenation like sleep.? Eating is also essential as it provides our brain and body with the nutrients to perform tasks. Without food, it is nearly impossible for us to be productive. Taking regular breaks to go to the bathroom or just to overcome fatigue is a must have since we are not robots. As humans, this is pretty much non-negotiable. Loving and being loved is super important to get reassurance from the people we love. No man is an island we all need someone to share and care for us. Time Management Tips for Goals Having goals are necessary if we are to formulate a good list of time management tips for our individual diaries. Imagine trying to come up with a better way to manage our time if we don't have any goals. It would be kind of strange trying to manage just for the sake of it. Our goals are the things that drive us to manage our time more efficiently. Our goals can fall into 4-5 broad categories, namely: * Emotional * Physical * Health * Social * Financial This is pretty much a high-level, generic view of our goals. It all depends on where we are in life that one takes priority over another. Apart from life stages we also go through different seasons of life as well. The most important thing for you to decide is what stage and season you are in to determine what goals should be your focus. Priority List One of the hardest decisions that you will make every day, week, month or year is the fact that you need to prioritise what you do on a regular basis. Some items are super important while others are a nice to have. One of the best ways to help you to make this decision is by taking your goals and completing a mind-map on each one. A great way to do this is by having an answer for the 5Ws and 1H. Who, what, when, where, why and how.
