The pace of life in our time is unlikely to slow down. On the contrary, day by day events are moving forward more and more rapidly. People are forced to manage to do several things at the same time, but usually such a race leads only to fatigue, a feeling of emptiness and stress. It seems that life is passing, and we do not even notice it. Is it possible to rectify the situation? How to plan things to do everything?
Instruction manual
one
Determine what needs to be done. It is important to be able to distinguish between main and secondary matters. The important ones include work, family, health; to secondary - leisure, hobbies. You need to understand for what purpose time is needed. To spend it with family? Master a new hobby? To see a movie? After that, it is important to highlight the main goals, and determine what actions will help them achieve. This is just a theory, but you need to move on to practical tips:
2
Make a list of tasks that need to be completed during the day and number them, depending on the importance. Also roughly note how long each one will take.
3
Analyze in a few weeks where the time goes. Perhaps someone or something constantly interferes with doing things and focusing, and as a result, time is wasted.
4
No matter how clear planning is, it’s impossible to get things done if things on the list take more time than they can actually do in a day.
5
Get rid of what is distracting. It can be phone calls, the included TV or music.
6
Allow some time for unforeseen circumstances. This is especially useful if you need to go somewhere and transport can fail at the right time.
7
Take time to relax. It’s better to rest for half an hour than to do things twice as slowly due to tiredness.
eight
Plan your hard work for the time of day in which you have the most strength.
9
When you need to do something that is not to your liking - do it first, and so avoid gloomy thoughts during the day.
ten
Be prepared to change plans if the need arises. Try to make a convenient schedule.
eleven
Determine what matters can be postponed for several weeks or months and do not waste precious time on them now.
12
If you don’t know what to do, write down your thoughts on paper. Check all pros and cons. So you can choose from what you see and not get confused in the set of endless thoughts.
thirteen
When you can’t do something, you don’t have to persist. Take care of what happens, and then you can finish the first.
14
Planning time is not an easy task, but if you learn to do it correctly, the result will be not only successfully completed tasks, but also spiritual satisfaction from your own successes. And then you will know firsthand what it means to manage time. You will lead it, and not vice versa!
