Improving your Time Management skills

3 Techniques that will make you a better time manager 1. Batching Tasks Each time you start a new task it takes time to “warm up”, you have to gather all the materials you need and it takes a while before you find a flow. Once you are done you need to p Publish Post ut everything away, which wastes several minutes as well. By spending longer time on each task you decrease the amount of time you spend “Warming up” and “Cooling down” every day. 2. Planning Your Weeks By organizing your weeks to streamline processes and batch tasks you will save a lot of time. It also grants you the calm to know that you will be doing all your tasks during the week. I have noticed in myself, and others, that it is easy to feel as though I should be doing more each day, but once I started using a weekly schedule I didn’t need to feel this way, since I knew the tasks would be handled at the right time. 3. Prioritizing you day Most of us fail to start with the most important (and often most time consuming) task. Instead we hide and do simple tasks such as checking our email. The problem with that approach is that it leaves the most difficult tasks to the end of the day. If you instead organize your day to have the most difficult tasks first and then have them getting easier and easier. It will motivate you to work faster since your day will be over once you have finished the final simple task. It will take time to learn and require a lot of discipline, but if you put your mind to it you will quickly start saving 5 minutes here and 5 minutes there.
