A lot of people tend to get overwhelmed when they have so much to do and not enough time but, they do have enough time. Twenty-four hours a day seems like a lot when you say it out loud but, it’s crazy how all that time literally flies by. It’s all about time managing. The best way to start to do that is to keep an agenda with you and jot down all the things you need to get done and when you need to get them done by. It’s all about waking up early to get ahead of the game and get as much done so you don’t cram everything into one time slot. Here are a few ways to help you time manage effectively:
Plan your time ahead
Plan your time wisely. Buy an agenda that has the time where you can schedule things you have to do and places you have to go. You will feel so much more organized and ready to conquer your day! When you’re able to see how your day will look in front of you, you will be more in control.
Steer away from distractions and set a time limit
It’s easy to get caught up on your phone or do anything else you’re not supposed to be doing while getting tasks done. It happens–you get bored and you just want to take a break from your to-do list. So, to really get things done, put your phone away and set a time limit for whatever you’re doing and get it done within that time you give yourself. Setting a time limit always helps you to stay on track and get stuff done so you can do the next thing on your list.
Be smart in prioritizing
Prioritize what is more important to get done first. What’s more urgent? What will take more time and how much time should you dedicate to do that? You have to decide what tasks to do first that will make you feel less overwhelmed once you complete them. Grab your agenda and schedule things ahead of time, not the day before!
Don’t stress
Stressing causes you to not be 100% productive! Take everything one thing at a time. You’re only human so you need to go easy on yourself. Get enough sleep and stay active. Don’t forget to leave time for things you like to do as well. Stressing doesn’t help you solve anything so breathe in and out and keep going! You’ve got this. Time management will be a tool you will need for the rest of your life to be successful.
