Time management
We all have 24 hours a day, but it seems that some people produce a lot more than others. How to take advantage of every second?
Time management is the process of planning and consciously exercising control over the time spent on each activity, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency and productivity.
To manage time and make the most of your day, you need to identify the various demands related to work, social life, family, hobbies, personal interests and commitments and how much time each one takes.
Using time wisely allows people to choose how to spend their time and what activities to invest their attention on.
To manage time effectively, you need to pay attention to some details, such as:
- Create an enabling environment for effectiveness
Prioritizes cost-effectiveness, quality of results, time to complete tasks and projects. It is necessary to “provide” the information and tools necessary for its effectiveness to occur throughout the day.
- Set priorities
The conscious use of time defines what is a priority, what we want to be doing in life. In this way, everything that is not a priority becomes clear, needing to have the time spent on such activities reduced or even eliminated.
- Implementation of goals
It is necessary to be clear on how the time will be spent throughout the day and which crops to harvest at the end of each activity. Implementing goals and working on them daily, having each goal organized in the routine, is essential to achieve better results.
