Time Management
One of the most difficult skills to master at the beginning
of your carrier is time management. You can waste tremendous amount of time by
trying to multi tasking or focusing too much on unimportant details. Here are
12 things I want to learn while I am in my 20’s.
1.
There
is always time : You never run out of time , you just have to prioritize
better . If you didn’t finish something by time it was due , it’s because you
didn’t consider it urgent or enjoyable enough to prioritize it ahead of
whatever else you were doing .
2.
Days fill up faster than you’d expect :
Build in some buffer time . Avoid over scheduling by refraining from getting to
precise with a plan . ‘The more precise a plan the more easier it is to miss’ .
3.
You get
more done when you are in the zone : Some days you’ll be off your
game , and other times you’ll be able to
maintain your focus for 12 hours straight. Take advantages of those days .
4.
Pursue
the beneficial : You should pursue activities that benefit both
your personal and professional lives . Don’t sign up for anything that will consume your time and effort and
not benefit either , choose your tasks
carefully .
5.
Push yourself,
don’t burn out : Hard work sometimes entails stretches of
little sleep . But make sure you relax well or exhaustion will catch up on you
.
6.
Multitasking
kills your focus : If you have two tasks to be done . Do them separately
,doing time together is going to give them only 50% of your attention and won’t
be to your level best .
7.
Distractions
can be controlled : You know what your distractions are ,
keep them at bay and you are good to go
.
8.
More
work hours don’t always result in productivity : Don’t
kid yourself into thinking that if you sit at your desk it will somehow extract
work from you . Work effectively and fast .
9.
Starting
time : If it takes more than twenty minutes to get started , change
your task . Working on the same one will slow down your groove .
10.Take
notes : Don’t assume you will remember every good idea that comes
to your head during the day . Keep a pen handy so that you can jot it down .
11. Keep larger objectives : Keep
your eyes on your real prize . Doing this gets you through your working day .
12. Bye Past: If
your previous task was of the same genre didn’t go well , don’t let it hinder
you . Focus on what’s in front of you and make it the best you have done yet.
Until next time
Polý agape (lots of love) and stay cheerful :) !
