Time Management Solution

While many of the remedies suggested are simply common sense, uncommon sense is required to combine them into a personalized time management strategy that works. Because time management principles do not apply equally to everyone, the challenge is to implement the rules principles that best fit a specific situation. The following seven steps to better time management provide a systematic basis for applying time management techniques intelligently.

  1. . Which timewasters stem from my own style of management?
  2.  Which timewasters are caused by others?
  3. Which can be eliminated or controlled?
  • Set goals and list priorities- From his or her list of time robbers, a supervisor

Should select five or six that he or she wants to correct and prioritize them.

  • Formu/ate action plans- Next, a supervisor needs to prepare a list of tasks necessary for goal accomplishment. Called an action plan, it acts as a map to the desired results.
  • Develop a time budget- A time budget is a personal planning tool for allocating time for specific tasks. Its function is to make time more productive and profitable through proper scheduling.

    1. Divide and conquer.
    2. Concentrate on priorities.
    3. Tackle tough jobs first.
    4. Set realistic deadlines.
    5. Hold stand-up meetings.
    6. Consolidate similar tasks.
    7. Use waiting time.
