Understanding your time management is important, it can help you achieve your goals as well as making your life less stressful.

1. The most important area, which you need to address first is your time, knowing what time you have available will allow you to plan the tasks that you need to do more effectively.
2. You must schedule into your day some time, which will be able to account for unplanned events. There are always challenges in the day that happen and take away time, having a buffer will allow for these times and not mean that you have to cut back other areas of your day for these unplanned events.
3. Block distractions, this isn’t always easy but if you have tasks that you need to complete sometimes the simplest thing to get your task completed is to block distractions. Tell people you are busy; don’t answer the phone just because it rings. Stop checking your emails every time you here one popping into your inbox. If I have a task to complete, I turn off the sound on my laptop and this way I just don’t know if I have had any new emails or social media messages until after I have finished my task.
4. The hardest time management technique to learn is to say ‘no’. If you haven’t got the time to do other tasks or have too much to do already, there is nothing wrong with saying no. Be realistic about what you can do and what you just can’t do. There are restrictions on everyone’s time and taking on too much will mean that you just can’t do your best at all the jobs, making you feel that you are not offering your best ability at the tasks you need to complete because you have taken on too much.
5. Using a timer is great, setting it for a short burst of time and seeing how much you can complete is good, it allows you to focus on the right aspects knowing that when the timer goes off you have planned a 5-minute break or just a change in the tasks. It can really help you focus on getting as much done as possible in a set time frame.

Therefore, if you are looking for time management tips, the more you can plan the more you will accomplish; don’t forget to plan into your day some spare time which will allow for those interruptions that you know will happen, thus allowing you greater control and understanding of what you can realistically do in the day.
