IMPROVE YOUR TIME-MANAGING SKILLS
It is common for all of us to take more tasks than our desired potential. This can often result in stress and
tiredness. Learn the art of sharing work with your partners based on their skills and abilities.
Before the start of the day, make a list of tasks that need your immediate attention as unimportant tasks
can consume much of your precious time. Some tasks need to be completed on that day only while other
unimportant tasks could be carried forward to next day. In short, prioritize your tasks to focus on those that
are more important.
Carry a planner or notebook with you and list all the tasks that come to your mind. Make a simple “To
Do” list before the start of the day, prioritize the tasks, and make sure that they are attainable. To better
manage your time-management skills, you may think of making 3 lists: work, home, and personal.
Stress often occurs when we accept more work than our ability. The result is that our body starts feeling
tired which can affect our productivity. Instead, share tasks with your partners and make sure to leave some
time for relaxation.
Most of the successful men and women have one thing in common. They start their day early as it gives
them time to sit, think, and plan their day. When you get up early, you are more calm, creative, and clear-
headed. As the day progresses, your energy levels start going down, which affects your productivity and
your performance as well.
