Effective time-management is a combination or skills and strategies to help people manage the limited resources they have. These include creating realistic timetables for work, leisure and home activities, setting goals, planning progress and analyzing it, organizing tasks and delegating them.
How to use time effectively
Create a visual map to show how you spend your time. This will help track where you spend your time and find out how to improve it using time management tools.
IBM survey [4] shows that time management is also an important skill for businesses. According to executives, it is the second most critical factor in their recruitment process and the third most significant factor affecting the performance of a company. Good time-management improves productivity, reduces stress and promotes work-life harmony.
Prioritizing your time is important.
Focusing first on the essential tasks is a key to managing your time well. If you want to complete a project in order to get it done or simply finish your daily list, you should focus on what matters most.
How to categorize your tasks properly
The Getting Things Done method, or GTD, is a popular time-management technique. It involves writing all the tasks on your list down and categorizing them. The most important or urgent tasks are in category A; the less important or non-urgent tasks are in category B, and so on.
