Managing your time correctly means giving yourself a successful day and ensuring a successful life. “Whoever won time won everything,” said Jean Baptiste Moliere. After all, it is so important to be able to manage your time so that deadlines do not plunge you into a stupor, and time does not seem "superfluous" at first, and later "shamelessly ahead of you." The following guidelines will help you find a common language over time and ensure that you will limit your time in a way that is convenient for you.
Instructions
Step 1
List your goals and objectives for a specific period. Write a list of goals that you want to achieve within a specific time frame, for example, an annual period. Write them in a priority sequence for you. Then complete the list with a description of the tasks and how to accomplish them that are necessary to achieve your goals.
Step 2
Set yourself timelines for completing tasks and achieving goals. Write a realistic time frame in which you can complete the tasks and achieve the goals. A complete to-do list with deadlines will help you avoid wasting time thinking about future plans and what else needs to be done, how best to achieve it, etc. Therefore, write deadlines only taking into account the completion of the task itself, without taking into account time losses. Take your time, think everything over, in the process of this work you will certainly cross out something unnecessary that is not so important to you.
Step 3
Make a plan for the day. Indicate in it the time that you need for this or that business, according to your goals and objectives. Do not go into a scrupulous description of small details, formulate tasks more globally, but taking into account all the points necessary to achieve your goal.
Step 4
Keep a general list of goals and objectives and a plan for the day at hand. The general list and plan for the day should be clear, so that, looking at them, you see a clear picture of your goals and objectives in front of you and can keep yourself in good shape. It can be on the table, in a frame - as you like, the main thing is that it should always be within your reach.
Step 5
Adjust your list of goals and objectives, according to the actual implementation of the plan for the day. If you find that you have made a too perfect plan, and the deadlines written in it are not yet within your reach or are too tiring for you, driving you into a stressful state, adjust your overall to-do list and subsequent plans for the day, according to your performance and current state.
Step 6
Take the time to reflect on how you have completed your objectives and the challenges you face in achieving them and achieving your goals. While doing any business, do not immerse yourself mentally in "future plans", "scrolling" situations, etc. Set aside time to talk to yourself during the day. Noticing that your thoughts are taking you in a different direction, immediately and without regret, switch to completing the tasks. Think about your goal and keep in mind the picture of the outcome of achieving it.
Step 7
Have time to rest. Include a pleasant pastime in your to-do list that will allow you to relax, unwind, and gain strength for your next successful day. In order not to turn yourself into a trapped horse, do not spare time for the kind of rest that energizes you and gives you strength as much as possible. This can be a walk in the fresh air, reading a fascinating book, watching an interesting movie, meeting friends, or practicing your favorite sport.
