Read this paragraph. Time is precious: there are only so many hours in each day. When we do tasks
randomly and without a plan, we cheat ourselves out of the chance to succeed. We
also set ourselves up for unwanted stress. The good news is, using time management
strategies can help us meet our goals. It can also help us feel less anxious about all
there is to do in a day. The first step in time management is to set achievable goals.
Without goals, it is hard to know when you have succeeded. Next, determine what
steps you need to take in order to meet your goals. Set aside time to make a weekly
plan that lists when you will complete the necessary tasks. At the end of each day,
track your progress and choose the top three things you would like to accomplish the
next day. They should directly relate to your goals. Put your plan in place by staying
focused on your planned tasks each day. Avoid distractions and time wasters, like
surfing online or repeatedly checking your email. Finally, once you have reached a
goal, take time to celebrate! Having something to look forward to is great motivation
for meeting your goals.
