People tend to belong to two camps when it comes to time. Some people have all the time in the world and can\u2019t seem to get anything done, while others seem to fit an impossible schedule into a single day. There\u2019s no escaping the fact that there are 24 hours in a day, which can often feel like not enough time. The key to unlocking the ability to slow the clock and fit more into each day is knowing how to manage time<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Efficiency is a skill that seems unattainable, but it\u2019s very easy to achieve. You don\u2019t have to sacrifice a rabbit or promise the name of your first-born to the gods in exchange for successful time management. The solution is to have a plan. That sounds too simple, but a to-do list helps you stay on top of everything you need to do. The biggest mistake you can make is to put too much on the list. For starters, narrow your list down to three or five priorities you want to take care of daily. The visible reminder of a to-do list allows you to cross things off, which makes you feel accomplished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The to-do list is a great first step, but there are other things you can do to master your time. Become more adept at managing your time by implementing the following tips. You\u2019ll be able to manipulate time in ways you never thought possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is everyone\u2019s dream, but it\u2019s often hard to turn this into reality. When you try to make a plan in the morning, you spend unnecessary time and effort working out what you need to do for the rest of the day. Don\u2019t wander aimlessly through the morning; rather, start each morning with conviction<\/a> by making a plan the night before. Take the last 15 minutes of your work day to organize your desk, compose notes for the coming day, or draft a couple emails. You\u2019ll accomplish multiple tasks in the office, or while you work from home<\/a>, as soon as you start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop Multitasking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Multitasking is a skill in and of itself, but it doesn\u2019t always make you the most productive person in the world. If you already experience difficulty managing your time, the last thing you should do is tackle several things at once. More often than not, multitasking is harmless, except for when you have a deadline. Listening to a podcast while cleaning is harmless. Checking Instagram, working on a presentation, listening to Spotify, and sending emails detracts from your work. Focus on completing one task at a time and you\u2019ll find that you are able to accomplish more things throughout the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set Deadlines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, focusing on a single task is wonderfully sound advice, but you can\u2019t spend your entire day only doing one thing, especially when you have more on your plate. People say that work will expand to fill the time you have available. That means that you could spend all day working on one thing if you don\u2019t have a deadline. Studies show that having a time restraint keeps you more motivated to complete the task and beat the clock. Set time limits and you\u2019ll find that you can complete more tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make A Distraction List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone gets distracted at different moments during the day. Some people get sucked into the Instagram vortex during a workout<\/a>, while others lose themselves in an Amazon shopping spree during work hours. If you want to manage your time, there\u2019s no room for distractions. When you are completing a task and pull away to indulge in a distraction, make a note of it and write it down on your distraction list. If you\u2019re typing in Word and then go to check your email, make a note of it. A distraction can be as simple as a random thought! Write down whatever distracts you so you can think about it later once you finish your work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find Solutions, Not Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you encounter a situation, no good comes from a negative outlook. It\u2019s important to put everything in perspective and focus on finding a solution to the problem. Whether it\u2019s resolving an argument or fixing a mistake, try to understand both sides of the equation to develop a solution that benefits all parties. When you start attacking problems with this mentality, you\u2019ll be able to spend less time on the problem! <\/p>\n
