So it is said that we all receive the same amount of time during the day. Some of us are wise users of our time and some of us are not so good with minding our time portion of the day. Are you a good manager of your time or do you find yourself running like a racehorse throughout the day racing to catch up to tasks and projects?
Time management , as defined by wikipedia, is the process or act of planning and exercising control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity.
To accomplish time management I must value my 24 hours given to me as well as manage the priorities around me and act diligently.
I don’t know about you but I am a master at multi tasking various projects at once. Okay….I am guilty of thinking this is a good thing. Multi tasking various projects at the same time is not a skill it’s exhausting. Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with activity of multi tasking, it’s how you execute it is where we tend to stumble and fall. It is better to multi task within a project than to multi task different projects that do not support or correspond to each other at the same time. What happens when we try to do this is called shotty, burn out, and not complete. This is the perfect time to hold a very necessary conversation with ourselves about what are priorities are and what we need to delegate to someone else or just plain say ‘NO’ to. Being a FOCUS TASKER is really what we want to achieve. Identifying all those pieces that need to be touched on within a project and completing them in a timely manner is what we should aim to achieve with our daily time allotment.
This week, let’s GET REAL about Time Management and the Tactics we should engage in to be successful Time Managers!
Onward and Upward!
