Every person in the world has a set of tasks whose priorities vary from one individual to another, and people do not have the same ability to perform them, whether in the effort or time spent. But the ideal way to complete duties, both life and work, is to learn the ability to manage time more effectively.

We can all divide our daily lives between spending quality time with family and enjoying their company or taking care of the children and committing to doing household or business chores with the importance of taking care of public health. But while there is no one-size-fits-all plan for time management; There are basic principles and issues that apply to a wide range of circumstances that people experience.

1. Planning.

Planning is the basic building block of time management, but it’s not enough to create a great plan or schedule to get it done. You need to be able to do it too. This means being meticulous about the day-to-day realities of your work and other responsibilities allowing for the usual interruptions, crises, and delays.

2. Scheduling Every Detail of Life.

The best time management plans are comprehensive, incorporating every detail of your life rather than just setting hours to work. Really try scheduling time into groups of time for family, friends, workouts or special interests and projects instead of just being there for whatever time is left after the usual daily process. Doing so will give an opportunity to look closely at your current work, home and leisure time and help you regain credit if it is lost.

3. Exaggerating the Time Required To Complete Tasks.

One of the smartest scheduling rules you can apply is to set due dates that are not easily achievable but are possible. In other words, it is a good idea to exaggerate somewhat when you think you can finish the tasks so that you can face unexpected delays and surprises and reach your goal easily. You are pleased and praised by your manager or family for your ability to provide what is faster with perfection.

4. Divide The Big Tasks.

You can accomplish anything by breaking down a large task into manageable steps and setting a schedule for each step, thus reducing stress and tension. And if any unexpected developments occur that upset the deadlines, you can alert your boss or client and set a new completion date or take steps to speed up your expected progress and make up for lost time.

5. Set Your Priorities.

You should start with the routine and usual jobs that anyone can accomplish in a specific and known time, and then move on to the jobs where you need someone else’s education. It takes a lot of time because of the different abilities of people from each other, but determining what is required and the time taken will reduce the feeling of stress.

You don’t have to be a professional list maker to profit from using priority lists. Some people keep many lists at once. High priority tasks are urgent or very important tasks; of medium priority of less urgent or medium importance; and low priority are tasks that would be nice to do if there was time. And other people simplify the process by making only one list at the end of each day to do things tomorrow.

6. The Right Time For The Right Task.

To get the most out of your time, try to do the hardest jobs that require maximum focus and maximum efficiency at those times of the day when your attention and energy levels are highest. If you can coordinate those times with less downtime than usual, that’s all the better.

Likewise, try scheduling low-level routine tasks for the times of the day when you find it hard to focus. The trick is to set the peak times for your working hours and schedule your work accordingly.

7. Don’t Carry Work To Home.

Almost everyone finishes work late or brings work home once in a while, but if you find yourself doing it more and more often, it might be time to start saying no, and not just to others but also to yourself. Working long hours disrupts the balance between effort and a sense of leisure, which is essential to your health and pleasure. Just as dangerous, it will negatively affect your reputation at work.

Recent studies have revealed that the longer you work, the more extrapolated your credit and helps you explore improved techniques and new, simpler procedures that support you in accomplishing all your life or business tasks. And it’s always tempting to keep doing things the old-fashioned way just because it’s the way you’re familiar with it. Finding, adapting, and applying new and effective technologies to your responsibilities not only saves you time but also reduces your overall workload and effort and makes you look good in the process, out of your tired, bored and stressed out feeling.
