Managing Time As You Build Your Own Online Business

By Spencer Payne


Time management at work is an essential skill to master if you want to become more efficient and experience less stress in the workplace. Being able to apply good time management at work can help you achieve more in a day.Organizing your daily schedule can also help in giving you more control over the use of your time and energy in doing the different tasks. This will help to lessen the stress brought about by meeting deadlines and the pile-up of different tasks that still need to be done.

Time Management Tip # 1: Set Priorities. This is what people with poorly managed time have been struggling with. They tend to be too panicky with a lot of things to do in just a day. To be able to manage, think about all your tasks and organize them according to your priorities. When prioritizing, do not just think about work, but also consider things that are important for your personal life. To start with this method, give yourself a few minutes everyday and list down everything you would have to do for the next day. Set specific schedules for each task for you to be able to think ahead. This would help you greatly, especially if you think you have too much to do with so little time.

One of the most important tips in practicing good time management is by learning how to organize. Good organizational skills allow you to learn how not to get lost over tasks. Good organizational skills also require you to know how to prioritize. With good organization, less time is spent on keeping track of work, and energies are kept focused more at accomplishing the different tasks.A good way of organizing everything at the workplace is by practicing the art of making lists. Listing tasks on paper can help make you see what needs to be done. Add to that task list their corresponding deadlines and you may be able to see what tasks need to be prioritized.

Time management starts with a plan. If you have plans you know that goals often following the plan. Once we set a plan in motion, we must act on it accordingly and sufficiently to make the plan work and reduce our stress level. After we have a plan in motion focusing on our goals, we must find an organizing scheme that works best for our person. Some of us make lists, which are very helpful for putting a plan in motion. Lists are common tasks that we are required to obtain. Getting the most important tasks completed first is part of a time management plan that works most effectively. Once we move the bigger tasks out of the way, we find more time after the little tasks are finished.

Time management starts at grass root levels from an individual. At the outset, the individual has to organise himself at all works of life. He should set his goals and prioritise his objectives. He can further subdivide his objectives into subsets and create timelines to achieve them. The ways to go about it is to write them down either in a place that he always visits or uses in order to keep his mind away from wandering off towards time wasting distractions.We must realise that "while we are postponing, life speeds by" (Seneca). We should not only be managing time through time management but also teach our 'generation next' to do the same.
