5 time-management techniques worth trying!

How often do we curse ourselves at the end of the day for not finishing assigned tasks on time?

Rewind! Think of the day that just passed. You must have had made a planner, jotted down several notes to go through and several things to complete during the day. End result? Many things from your planner must have gone unnoticed as you got yourself stuck in completing one thing that took a little longer. Not to forget, pending jobs will hamper your work the next day.

“Remember that time is money.” – Benjamin Franklin

To help you manage your time, we have come up with 7 secrets of time management that can help you reach your goals quicker.

Make a schedule:

Lay out a schedule of when you will do different things. Having everything written out can help you because you won’t have to spend time wondering about whether or not you forgot about something.

Make room for something urgent/important:

While making your schedule for the day, it is very important that you leave some empty place in planner to adjust some last minute important work. This way you won’t have to compromise on your planner.

Turn off your social media accounts:

Prevent yourself by closing all your social media accounts. You can always get in touch with the world in your free time. But time allotted to work in your planner should be only spent working. Lesser you are distracted hopping between various sites, lesser time it will take you to finish ample work and to finish your to-do list at the end of the day.

Learn to say “No”:

If you already have a lot to deal with on your platter then it’s only a good idea to turn down a new work, obviously after considering the urgency of that work. This way you can concentrate on one task without lowering the quality of your work.

Don’t multi-task if you waste more time doing so:

It’s okay if you aren’t a multi-tasking genie. Some people are good at multi-tasking and some are not. If multi-tasking is not your cup of tea then concentrate at a single task at a time this will help you accomplish tasks more quickly.
