  2. What is Time Management? • Time Management is the act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities. • Time management techniques are used to increase effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity. • These techniques or activities include: planning, allocating, setting goals, organizing, and prioritizing

  3. Tips for Time Management • Plan each day: Use your planner! Write a to-do list, putting the most important tasks at the top. • Prioritize your tasks: Prioritizing tasks will ensure that you spend your time and energy on those that are truly important to you. • Say no to nonessential tasks: Consider your goals and schedule before agreeing to take on additional work.

  4. Tips for Time Management • Delegate: Take a look at your to-do list and consider what you can pass on to someone else • Take the time you need to do a quality job: Doing work right the first time might take more time upfront, but errors usually result in time spent making correction, which takes more time overall. • Break large, time-consuming tasks into smaller tasks: Work on them a few minutes at a time until you get them all done.

  5. Tips for Time Management • Limit distractions: Block out time on your calendar for big projects. During that time, close your door and turn off your phone! • Get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly: A healthy lifestyle = improved focus and concentration  improved efficiency so that you can complete your work in less time. • Take breaks: Too much stress can derail your attempts at getting organized. Take a walk. Do stretches.

  6. Time Management=Stress Management • Effective time management is a primary means to a less stressful life. • Have you ever been in a situation where poor time management made you stressed? • How will managing your time make your life less stressful?

  7. Stress Management • Avoid: A lot of needless stress can simply be avoided. Plan ahead, rearrange your surroundings and reap the benefits of a lighter load. • Alter: Acknowledge your surroundings, then attempt to change your situation for the better. • Accept: Sometimes we have no choice but to accept things the way they are. Talk it out, learn to forgive, think positively, and learn from your mistakes. • Adapt: Change your standards and expectations.
