Creating a Time Management Plan for 2020.
“So much to do, if I only had time, if I only had time!”
Many people spend a lot of time trying to juggle items on a crowded schedule and feel, at the end of a busy day or week, that they have accomplished little. How much easier life would be if there was a manageable “To Do” list that was easily incorporated it into a time management plan—a plan that people could stick to!
- Invest in a day planner or calendar where you can enter details of your schedule, and which will help you remember what you need to do and when you need to do it.
- Set aside a certain amount of time each week, or bi-weekly, dedicated to creating a plan for managing your time.
- Make a list of activities that you need to tackle and events that you need to attend for the next week or two.
- Prioritize these items, knowing that you will be able to adjust their priority as needed.
- Delegate some of your daily chores and responsibilities to another person or persons.
- Just say “No!” to tasks and events that you deem unimportant or extraneous to the satisfactory completion of your day. Saying “Yes” to others’ requests of your time can divert you from your priorities.
- Set goals (short-term, intermediate, and long-term) that are realistic and manageable, so that you are not taking on more than you can reasonably handle.
