Make good use of a timer. If focusing for a set amount of time is difficult, setting a timer can help. For instance, if you have an hour to work on a task, set the timer to let you know when 15 minutes have passed. Then take a brief break, reset the timer and continue this routine until the hour has elapsed.
One idea to consider is completing things a day ahead. If you can, plan your activities for the following day ahead of time. Getting a list together to do what you have to do the next day is a smart way to end the day. It’s a lot easier to dive right into your work if you already have it laid out in front of you!
If you find that you continually run late or fail to meet deadlines, try to place more focus on deadlines. When you are faced with a deadline that is coming up, your other priorities will take a back seat and it can cause you delays in everything else. If you prepare to get it done early, you’ll find that your whole schedule benefits.
If managing your time is difficult, pay attention to each task. Many people do not accomplish much if trying to multitask. Doing too much at once will confuse and exhaust you. Breathe, relax and focus intently on one project until it’s done, then move on to the next.
Time management planning is now yours to discover. Be patient with it and work effectively. Use what you learned here and get the help you need.
