Remind yourself about the last time you worked late in your office because the task or work assigned to you is close to the deadline but still far from the completion. Are you doing things unconsciously to complete the assignment and asking one of these questions?
“Do I really need to manage my time effectively?” or “Have I not been managing my time effectively all these days?”
You have followed all the steps told in “The Time Management Program” but still you failed to achieve the goal.
There are no programs to manage the time effectively but there are few tips and tricks by which you can make use of your time correctly. All you have to do is to change the way you work.
Prioritize the work.
The first step is to prepare the list of things to do:
First understand the sensitivity and importance of the project and arrange them in three categories.
- Urgent work- The work which needs to be done right away.
- Less Urgent- The work which has the deadline of a week or so.
- Daily work- The work which can be done at any time.
To understand the ” to do-list” in a glance, color code the index, Red color for urgent assignments, Orange color for the work that is less important and has a deadline in a week or so and Blue color for the daily assignments and can be done at any time.
Second step: Understand the project
Before you start working on project or assignment, understand its requirements, and if it needs some research then do it. Calculate the time you need for the completion of the project. Now that you know how much time the work will need to get completed, mark it on your list with the date of submission.
Third Step: Reviewing
After completion of the project give yourself few hours or a day to review your work. Reviewing project is important part of prioritizing because it will help you to improve the quality of your work.
- Say NO to all those things which is not a cup of your tea.
- Make a plan and think how you are going to complete your new project.
So, In general you don’t have to follow the time management program or there is no need to attend the seminars for the time management. All you have to do is to work as you were doing but in the right way and surely the result will be fruitful.
