10 Tips for Time Management #1 Plan Ahead Each night, before you go to bed, think over your goals and priorities and determine your schedule for the next day. #2 Early To Rise As Benjamin Franklin rightly stated, “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” #3 Set Priorities Instead of attacking your tasks in random order, set priorities. This will keep you from wasting time on unnecessary tasks and from accidentally leaving a critical project uncompleted. #4 Establish Routines If you complete your tasks in different orders every day, you will waste precious time trying to remember what to do next. If you, instead, establish a routine, you can increase your efficiency and have more available time. #5 Use a Daily To-Do List This is an idea that I have been personally practicing for the last couple of months. Rather than simply trying to remember what I need to accomplish, I write it down in a small notebook. #6 Minimize Downtime Rather than wasting the time spent standing in lines and waiting at the doctor's, try to find ways to use that time. #7 Take Breaks Although it may seem counter-productive, taking breaks can actually help you accomplish more. Taking short breaks can help clear your mind and prepare it for more information. #8 Minimize Distractions The modern college student is assailed on all sides: email, cell phones, Facebook, and Twitter all call for your attention and distract from the project at hand. #9 Set “Magnetic” Goals The only way to prioritise tasks, is to know what's important to you. I use the 12/90/30 solution to set goal. Firstly, set your 12 month goals, then break those down into 90 day chunks. Take you 90 day chunks and break those down further into 30 day goals. #10 Admit multitasking is bad For people who didn't grow up watching TV, typing out instant messages and doing homework all at the same time, multitasking is deadly. But it decreases everyone's productivity, no matter who they are. Feel free to raise more questions. Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best.
