Organisation Week: Day 3: "Time Management"
January 5th: Time Management
The third day of the ORGANISATION WEEK! The theme of the day is Time Management!
The two most powerful warriors are patience and time -Tolstoy
Why should I manage my time?
-The simple answer is that time management helps you stay on top of your tasks and get more done.
-Time management benefits you in all areas of your life.
Time management shouldnt take your time, but rather make extra time for you
Why care about time management?
-Some might say, I dont want to put extra effort to manage time to stay organised. However, these are just EXCUSES!
Time Management:
-It means staying on top of your time, life and activities.
-It shouldnt take extreme effort, but it does require discipline.
-However, the benefits of time management far outweigh the work required.
How Managing Time Can Help Us In Life:
-Less Stress – Fewer surprises, fewer tight deadlines, less rushing from task-to-task and place-to-place.
-Get More Done – You will be able to get more (of the right tasks) done in less time.
-Less Rework – Being organized results in less rework and mistakes.
-Less Life Friction and Problems – Avoid creating your own problems by planning and preparing for your day.
-More Free Time – We cant create more time, but you can make better use of it by managing your time.
-Less Wasted Time – Instead of wondering what you should be doing next, you can already be a step ahead of your work.
-More Opportunities – Being on top of your time and work produces more opportunities. The early bird always has more options. As well, luck favors the prepared.
-Improves Your Reputation – Your time management reputation will precede you. At work and in life you will be known as reliable. No one is going to question whether you are going to show up, do what you say you are going to do, or meet that deadline.
-Less Effort – A common misconception is that time management takes extra effort. To the contrary, proper time management makes your life easier. Things take less effort, whether it is packing for that trip or finishing up that project.
-More Time Where it Matters – Managing your time is allotting your time where it has the most impact. Time management allows you to spend your time on the things that matter most to you.
WHAT TO DO:
-Using Lists
-Keeping a to-do List
-Setting Goals
-Prioritizing
-Avoiding Procrastination
-Breaking down tasks
-Action planning

-Organising your time
-Revising
Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.
-Benjamin Franklin

@Charli--> yay!
I am horrible at time management .. I'm probably the biggest procrastinator ever! It's a very bad habit!
@TransAm85: i am sure you will get better dear :) you can take part in the activities and see how do you feel and where do you want to start :) may be it works :)
@TransAm85- best wishes always :)
@starryKoala69 Thanks :) I have a problem where, if the situation is not so important or severe at the moment, I just put it off until the last minute. My husband is the complete opposite. He gets so irritated w/my procrastination. The way I see it sometimes .. motivation. I know I procrastinate a lot b/c I can be lazy! I know this! lol So .. what motivation do I need? I have to get up every morning to go to work b/c I have bills to pay. But what about my procrastination to go see relatives for example? They are getting old and the longer I procrastinate, maybe the day I finally decide to go see them, they may no longer be here! Just a little comparisson of my horrible habit lol
