27 Sep 09 Daily Time Management Tips – 1

There are many people who walk through the day without completing any work, and then there are people who are never late on anything, and complete all their work on time. Which group do you fall in? If you are in the latter group then congratulations for being so wise with your time, but if you are in the former group then you need to read further to know how you can manage your time.

You have enough time

If you think 24 hours is less in a day then you are wrong. 24 hours is sufficient for us to conduct our day. Yes, I have included a long sleep as well. If you fail to complete your day’s work before the clock waves the checkered flag then you must be wasting your time.

How many times in a day you get bored, or feel you have nothing to do despite having pending work?

Fight this bad habit! Do not waste your time watching too much television or surfing net for hours. Facebook is good relaxation mechanism, and so is its applications like FarmVille, but do not waste hours, because this will not pay your bills.

Planner

Do you have a monthly or weekly planner? Have you listed the important work you need to complete in this week or month? If you do not know where you have to go from here or what you have to do in the coming week or month, then how do you expect yourself to do something? Do what? Figure that first.

To-do list

Not having a to-do list for the day is one of the biggest reasons, if not the biggest, behind our failure to complete the day’s work.

Prioritize

Just having a generic to-do list is as good as having not any. You need to prioritize the things you have to accomplish. Put the most important work on the top of the list, followed by the second most important work, and then move downward in this fashion until your list finishes.

Do not bite too much

This is an age old advice, which people still disregard. Do not bite more than you can chew. Taking too much works will render you unproductive.

Real goal

Be realistic in setting goals. No one around is a superman, if you do not believe this then read the statement many times over till you believe it, as no one here is a superman.

17 Sep 09 Stop Procrastinating

Procrastination is a very bad trait for you to have in your personal inventory. Mostly because if you’re a procrastinator, you’ll find that you almost never achieve the things that you intend to achieve. Whether in life in general, or at your job, or in the small accomplishments you want to make in your personal life. Procrastination can be a hard habit to break, but with some work it can be done, and it’s worth your time. All you have to do is stop procrastinating about breaking that habit for good.

First ask yourself what the biggest problem causing your procrastination is. Do you get distracted easily when you try to do something? Do you lack motivation? By targeting what the problem is, you can look towards changing that aspect of your personality, and hopefully eliminate your tendency to procrastinate.

First off, whether you are distracted easily or unmotivated, try breaking up large tasks into smaller ones. If it’s a big yard project you’re trying to tackle, try accomplishing the whole by just doing a little at a time. Like tending to a garden, try just doing one short task each day, and you’ll find that you’ve accomplished everything before too long. This is a good first step to stopping procrastination in the future, as it gets you on the horse accomplishing the tasks you set for yourself.

Try eliminating distractions if you find yourself easily taken from your tasks. Try leaving your cell phone inside while you’re out in the yard. Or try turning off the background noise of a television or radio, or your iPod, so that you can have full concentration on your tasks. Sometimes that little bit of background noise can distract you enough that you can’t keep your thoughts together. That simple of a change can help you stop procrastinating.
