Time Management

Time Management

In my profile, I mentioned as one of my strength is "Goal Setting". What is goal setting? We should plan our Day,Week & Month well before. As we plan we could achieve our goals. Just planning alone will not lead to complete our goals, we should implement it as per our plan. Time is most important here. If you plan half an hour for a job, you should try to finish it as you planned. First time it may not be possible, but when you practice it in your day today activities, it becomes your routine. After some time, you could finish it even before time.

Day Plan :-
  1. Create a simple "To do" list for that particular day
  2. This simple "To do list" will help us to identify the list of items to be completed in that particular day.
  3. List to be prepared as priority, and we could give reason for doing them in priority
  4. A timeline for getting them done, and then printing this simple list and posting it for reminders.
  5. This reminders we could set in our outlook.


Week Plan :-
  1. Write down appointments, classes, training and meetings on a log book or chart.
  2. If you are more visual, sketch out your schedule
  3. First thing in the morning, check what's ahead for the day
  4. Always go to sleep knowing you're prepared for tomorrow


Long term plan :-
  1. Use a monthly chart so that you can plan ahead.
  2. Long term planners will also serve as a reminder to constructively plan time for yourself


All the above can be done for home also... not a big deal right !!

Try for a day plan... reminders.... updates.! You will realise the change on you and your work and also how quick you reach home when you plan your day.

Happy Timing!
