Small Tips On 'Time Management'

Time is gold! To me, time is more valuable than gold.

Sometimes when I find some articles on time management, I would cut it down and keep it. Below is a small summary and tips on time management. It is very basic and simple. However if you apply part of it and if it manage to save 1 minute per hour, that is already good enough. 'ONE MINUTE ONLY MAH!?' you would say. 1 minute per hour, after a day you would save 12 minutes, after one month you would able to save a day ! After a year, you would have extra 12 days just by saving 1 minute per hour! How good is that?! Imagine saving 2 minutes per hour! I let you do the math!

A) Keep a diary: This is not about writing down what happen everyday, but a book to keep you organized. Being disorganized is also a reason for time wastage.

B) List Task; Prioritize them; and Schedule them: Apart from that, try to make a list not more than 5 tasks. Make 5 additional tasks once it is completed. You will have a sense of accomplishment and this drive you to work even more.

C) Say NO when required: A hard thing to do but a streesed-up people with many things on their mind could not assert themselves. This helps to cut down your work load while help to focus yourself on the job on hand.

D) Decide which task need attention to detail: No everything you do need to be particular in detail. However, focus on things or task where details is really needed. This can help to focus your attention to things that matter most.

E) Allotting additional time (about 10% to 20% more) when doing a task as you won't be too anxious and decision making under such condition is better.

This is only a small tip on helping you to save time. You can employ other habits to save more time, so happy hunting. Thank you.
