Time management - the technology of rational management of time resources - is a very popular area in our time. The laws of time management really work and give results.
Instruction manual
one
Steve Taylor Law
Briefly: the course of action affects efficiency.
Each action has its own time. The choice of work should match your mood. If you are full of energy and determination, do the most significant work; if you feel a breakdown - take on a routine (sort through pieces of paper, sort through mail).
What does this give us?
Complex tasks are solved at peak energy rises (the result is achieved in the shortest possible time and with energy saving).

Henry Laborite Law
Henry Laborite believed that a person is always ready to do what pleases him. Therefore, one who does his favorite thing is highly effective. But, unfortunately, most of us work on “unloved” jobs or have to do “unloved” routines. If you have unpleasant things that you really do not want to do, do not postpone them. Use the frog swallowing method. Frogs are your favorite things — eat at least one “frog” per day, and then, as an incentive, do whatever you see fit. Be sure: you never accumulate a mountain of annoying little things.

Act of Genuine Interest
The higher the interest in any occupation, the faster time passes. We form interest and motivation and work more efficiently. The main thing is not to go to extremes: you need to remember where you are going and that you still have a family, your body, health, friends, relationships, sleep in the end!

The law of stagnation, i.e. lack of development
When certain results are obtained, efficiency is reduced. On the way to the goal there comes a moment when the first results appear - it is important at this moment not to relax and not to lose control over the situation. Any stop leads to a decrease in the result, which will be very difficult to restore. It is necessary to move towards the goal step by step. Then there will be no decrease in performance.

Paretto Law
20% of actions bring 80% of successful results. Thus, twenty percent of all cases are the most important in life. It is necessary to correctly identify and do them every day.
The Pareto principle in time management is simple: analyze all the cases for the day, select from them those that will lead to the final result, and delete all useless activity from the list of cases.

Parkinson's law
Any work takes as much time as it took. I planned to prepare the documents in 1 day, during this time you will prepare, you will plan the same for 2 days - in two days and prepare. That is, the more time we have to work, the more time it will take.
Any work should have a so-called deadline, as this greatly increases efficiency. Efficiency always increases when a time limit is used. We assign ourselves a time limiter ourselves.
