The best time management strategies
These strategies are great for anyone whether you are just starting to manage your time or if you’ve been doing it for longer. I have had much more productive days and better results faster using these tips.
1. Start with a healthy morning routine
Healthy morning routine is such a powerful to start your day. The point of morning routine is to get your day going with a fantastic attitude.
A healthy morning routine should motivate you and it needs to be enjoyable everyday – in other words, you want to do your morning routine everyday no matter where you are or is it 6 o’clock or 8 o’clock.
Healthy morning routine could include the following:
- Drink 0,4l of water
- Cold shower
- Healthy breakfast
- Mobility routine
- Reading daily 10-20 pages
2. Stop multitasking
Multitasking is basically the number one thing that kills your ability to manage time. Stopping multitasking is going allow you to focus exactly on what to do.
Multitasking distracts you constantly and makes it hard to achieve wanted results both short term and long-term.
If you want to use time management strategies properly, it is crucial to get rid of multitasking as soon as possible.
3. Minimize distractions
Minimizing distractions when you’re working is a great strategy to improve your focus and concentrate on essential things.
Minimizing distractions will help to stay on track and allows to work on things in correct way.
If you get constantly distracted by phone, noise or somebody interrupts you often, consider changing work environment.
Getting distracted constantly will:
- Decrease work output
- Harm your focus
- Get you used to getting distracted (will reduce ability to work with other people)
- Reduce your desire to work on relevant tasks
4. Give each task a time limit
This strategy can be very strong. When you give each task a certain time limit, that already means you’ve planned your day and you are executing your plan.
When the time limit is given, you’ll be able to work on tasks more productively and focused because time limit forces you to work smart on tasks.
However, make still sure not to rush. Do not let your results suffer because of setting time limits for tasks.
Time limits should allow you to execute your task better.
5. Set reminders for tasks
It is recommended to use this strategy, if you are not using the previous one. When you set time limits, you know when to move onto the next task.
On the other hand, if you are not using previous method, setting reminders for your tasks is beneficial, as it limits you to work on current task.
Moreover, working on one task for too long, especially without breaks, can reduce your effort and motivation to work on it properly.
Switching between tasks can also be beneficial for getting progress on each task. That’s why setting a reminder for tasks is a great way, especially if you don’t have a plan.
6. Work in the morning or forenoon
This is crucial step for managing time. An amazing strategy to complete more tasks efficiently. Working in the morning allows to deep work on your tasks.
As you may know, your productivity is usually at its peak in the morning and before lunchtime in general.
In the morning it is easier and more natural to focus and stay disciplined. This strategy is that can make the difference in terms of reaching better results faster.
Therefore, implementing this strategy in your daily routine is a superpower. And it’s literally so easy. Wake up just a bit earlier and get to work. Enjoy your morning and the progress you make!
