Time Management

Submitted by Mitch Seigel on Tues, 3/10/2015

As Daylight Savings Time kicks in today, I thought it would be a good day to write about time management. Last week someone said that we will have an extra hour of light today, and quickly I realized at the same time, we have an hour less of time! So unless you are involved in something that needs extra light, losing an hour of precious time can hurt if you are doing something that is time sensitive.

You need to be the judge of that, and of course it will differ from person to person. Today I have four things to do so I’m prepared for the work week tomorrow. I got out early and did my two mile run and now I’m sitting down to write my weekly blog. Just a couple more things to do and I’ll be ready to go for tomorrow.

Not all people think the way I just explained-I know. In that case you need to be flexible to be able to think that way at least once a week, to keep yourself organized. That’s especially true if your job or personal life depends on organization.

To start, if you don’t do this already, you need to make a list of things to do, electronically or in written form. It needs to be somewhere nearby so you keep track on progress and feel success when you reach your goal. And second, you need to create self-motivation to follow the time constraints, and that’s not easy. Lastly, you need to do the tasks at hand!

Generally, once you get into a routine of following a timeline, it becomes easier and easier to follow. There are so many devices today that can help pull you through the process, you can’t help but be successful and manage your time with ease.

What are your challenges when it comes to time management? I look forward to hearing your comments. Until next time…
