Taking Control of Your Time

Despite all of the advances in technology, managing time and getting things done seems to be tougher than ever. Trouble is that time, unlike memory on your computer, cannot be added to, so it is how you invest it that matters.

So what can you do to take control of your time?

  1. Know your priorities – what is it that your success or otherwise is measured against at the end of the day?
  2. Set time limits for everything you need to do in a day – you will be amazed at the difference it makes.
  3. Do a periodic time audit so that you know where your time investments are going.
  4. Start thinking of time like money and choose carefully where you invest it.
  5. Don’t overload your plan with too much otherwise you will get de-motivated.
  6. Try, wherever possible, to batch similar types of activity so that you make better use of your time.

Remember that time management is really all about planning and decisions. So what’s your best time management tip?
