We all complain of being busy every time to everyone and the worst part of this situation is that our work still remains pending. The 21st century has come with syllabi for us and wants us to be busier than ever. This situation is easily noticeable as everybody around us talks fast; they are always in a hurry, constantly remaining in the state of confusion, certain ideas and unfinished tasks keep on nagging our brains and the fear of forgetting something keeps on haunting us.
Some of us can be exceptions and try to be hyper-productive for the society but such state of mind could lead to mindless productivity and can often end up wasting time on menial tasks. So, it is pretty wise for each one of us to act on – “Work Smarter, not Harder” and take some serious responsibility of our lives.
Jotted below, are some of the wise Time Management tips to refine your practices and help you in learning about effective time management. Also, then you can take out time for your family, friends, loved ones and your pets:
- Make it a habit of completing the most crucial tasks first. Don’t linger onto tomorrow and finish today the essentials.
- Your heart is right sometimes. It is very wise and intellectual to speak NO sometimes. As making amendments in your pre-set plans are dangerous, you need to learn to decline opportunities.
- You have a responsibility towards your health as well thus take proper sleep. Sacrificing your sleep could not always be a good option. You definitely need 7-8 hours of sleep for your mind and body to rest and function properly tomorrow.
- For attaining efficiency and success, it is necessary that your entire focus lies on the task at hand. This would also help you excel your area.
- Whatever is your key task, you just have to make them a part of your routine. And if you succeed in doing that, the task would no longer seem a responsibility; rather it would come naturally to you. You might also start enjoying it.
- Be cautious and keep a track of how much time you are spending on the Internet, TV or games. It is the biggest drain on your productivity and mental strength.
- Stop aborting your own plans and be resolute and committed towards your goals. The only thing you need to do is be professional towards it.
- If you really want to manage your stuff, you got to utilize your weekends, just a little bit. It might sound funny but a little task completion on weekends will really chuck your weekday’s load.
- Fix time limits for every task to do. It would push you to end the work timely which would gradually lead to efficiency.
- Make a time table and organize all your duties and essential tasks. Creating reminders for the lesser important stuff could also be very helpful.
