 The idea of time management can sometimes sound overwhelming and technical. However, when we take the time to think about what needs to be done in our lives and plan when those things will get done, we will usually get most of the things done as well as having less mental strain in our brain!
Planning can be the key to not only getting things done, but also eliminating mental stress. I encourage people to take time each week to look at what activities are coming up, errands that need to be done, and things that need to be purchased. Look at your weekly schedule and determine when the best time will be to get these tasks done. Can you make phone calls while you sit in the car line after school? Can you take care of several errands on one day? Can you delegate to someone else in your family? Answers to these questions before your week begins will surely allow you to rest easy knowing that these things are already planned. No more waiting until Friday to discover that you forgot to do something. Another thing that I know has helped me is to have a Desk Day. On Desk Day I sit at my computer and get things done that are on the internet. I make phone calls, and even pay bills. Setting this time aside each week helps me to focus on the tasks at hand. I usually plan this at the beginning of the week. I would much rather get things finished at the beginning of my week instead of leaving them to the end of the week. I call this Front Loading my week. Since we don’t know what may happen that will derail our plans, the sooner things get done, the better! The tool I use that has literally changed my life is the Sunday Basket. This system has changed how I look at all the things. I don’t worry about losing papers…or my mind! This weekly planning time allows me to enjoy my week, get it done, and eliminates me trying to remember all the things I have to do! Enjoy 3 Tips to help you manage your daily schedule:
