- Diary time
Get "time diary"
Carefully (in minutes), record all their business within one week. Be honest. If you watch television 30 hours a week and make a note.
For most people this experience turns out to be quite painful, they are currently experiencing an epiphany. In the diary need to record all the details, down to the smallest detail - time spent in the gym, meal times, time spent behind the wheel, while meeting friends or going to the cinema, all without exception. The results of these observations often cause annoyance - because so much time we waste! But it is necessary, otherwise we will be able to more effectively manage time, if you do not know how we are accustomed to aimlessly spend.
Learn to say "no"
Turn off the cell phone and pager. If someone asks you to do something that you do not have the time, firmly but politely refuse. And in any case, do not feel guilty!
One of the reasons for our constant lesson is that we can not say "no." To learn how to give up, we must be able to focus on your goals. In this regard will be very useful "time diary". Discard the important but not planned cases - and will be able to find time for family, friends, care about their health. When you prioritize and know exactly what are willing to set aside time to abandon the superfluous and unnecessary much easier.
Make a list with specification of time
Make a detailed list indicating the start and end of the session. Planning Minister always effective, but if you add to the usual schedule the exact time of the beginning and end of a class, you will be able to evaluate its success in saving time and better understand the priorities. When you select a main class, you naturally choose those that can be done immediately.
Computer help
If high technology consuming our time, why do not they help in reverse? Use a computer program scheduler which provides calendar. This system can be used as a notebook - to make lists of scheduled cases, addresses, phone numbers.
According to experts, good organization of work and rest makes life easier. The more your life is cluttered with junk - scraps of paper with phone numbers, business cards, calendars, notebooks - the higher the likelihood that you will have to allocate time to periodically restore order.
Multitasking
Is there a used word in the lexicon of modern business person? We constantly have to juggle multiple activities. This multi-tasking can be dangerous. Talking on the phone while driving - thus dramatically increase the chances of getting into an accident or an accident. However, some lessons can be combined safely and without risk to life. For example, on the way to work (especially if you use public transport) is useful to listen to the audiobook. When watching TV, try to pay bills or plan a business the next day.
Women cope with the implementation of several things at once better than men. Even if the husband and wife work full time, a woman, but work may think about the children, household responsibilities, grocery shopping and cooking. Men are able to concentrate on just one session at once - that women can learn from them.
Do not be a perfectionist
There is nothing bad to be like the others. Perfectionism, that is too thorough approach to business and working of each part, it will inevitably lead to a shortage of time.
Set a rational purpose. Of course, you should always strive for better and work on themselves. However, the pursuit of the ideal of the opposite effect - the works are stretched to impossible, and discontent is growing.
Reward yourself
Finally, do not leave without encouraging any, even the most insignificant achievement.
To learn how to better manage time, use the "diary of the time." Do not blame yourself if you have to give up work - have fun. No need to make itself great gifts - just a massage or visit the beauty salon. It is important to celebrate your success and get pleasure from it.
