“Is that even possible to have great time management?” I think that question is too vague. Let’s put this question in another form. “How I can i manage my time efficiently?” Ahh. Now that’s a question easier to answer. The answer to that is real simple. Let me give you three main tips on how to mange time efficiently.

  1. Plan ahead — It’s very important to plan ahead. Giving yourself that extra space leads you to accomplish more task. It’s best not to think about what is needed to be done that day. If so, the possibility of you finding out what to do will be harder because you’ll need to figure out what you need to do and cram everything together.
  2. Prioritize — Prioritizing is the main focus of time management. If you can’t prioritize, you’ll end up being all over the place. Know what you need to get done that day and finish it. Don’t jump around from one thing to another. In this case, you’ll never complete one task. Keep focus on your goals to accomplish this task
  3. Give yourself time — There are times when you are too focused on what you’re doing and you forget about other things such as resting. Give yourself that 10 min break for your mind. This will alleviate all the stress pressure in your brain so you can calmly focus again. There’s no need to rush everything but knowing how much your body can take. Take the break.

We can all try to use these three tips above and see how it goes. There are many more tips out there but I think these are the three most effective tips leading to great time management. We can all use that extra little help to improve how we manage our time well. Overall, time management is a future soft skill that everyone should master, including me. But we all need to take that first step in order to improve our time management soft skill.
