Time Management

by Aug 6, 2018

Time management is an integral part of being a professional. In any job big or small, it is key to getting things done on time and with efficiency.

It might sound simple, but many of us struggle with time management. It can be challenging to plan out your every move, but with planning and better time management comes much less stress.

In her article here, Hillary Hoffower offers some tips on how to hone your time management skills, and ultimately reduce stress for yourself. We agree with them all, but we’ve highlighted a few of our favorites below:

  • Use a planner: Whether it’s virtual or an actual planner, this tool will help you remember every little thing to get done. It’s easy to say that “you’ll just remember”, but that kind of thinking tends to let things fall through the cracks. Allot time for each task, and plan your day this way each day.
  • Hardest first: Don’t leave the most daunting, dreaded task for the end of the day! Start your day with it instead. This way, it’ll be off your plate sooner and you can relax. Also, you’ll have some time left over in case it ends up taking longer than you anticipated.
  • Prioritize: This one seems obvious, but it rings so true. Remember that certain tasks are more important than others, and plan accordingly.
