One of the easiest ways to prevent burnout on a daily basis is to have a good organization and time management.
Here are 10 tips to efficiently master time management at work.
Today, we will start with the first 3.
Find out how you are currently spending your time
To optimize personal time management, we must first figure out what we spend our time on:
- Determine how much productive time you can achieve in a day.
- Identify lost time.
- Focus on the activities that yield the highest returns.
Create a daily schedule and stick to it
This step is absolutely crucial to learning how to manage time at work.
Start the work day with a to-do list, and before finishing for the day, create a list of the most urgent tasks for the next day.
Putting everything down on paper will keep you from lying awake at night tossing and turning through the tasks running through your brain.
Prioritize wisely
Evaluate your to-do list and be sure to organize it based on the importance of a task rather than its urgency:
- Important and urgent: these tasks have important deadlines with a lot of urgency...
- Important, but not urgent: these items are important but do not require immediate action.
- Urgent, but not important: these tasks are urgent but not important. Minimize, delegate or eliminate them.
