Time management tips in four steps
Managing your time effectively means learning to manage yourself. We all have 101 things that need doing but it is impossible to deal with them all immediately and effectively. I find that almost all tasks can go into one of four categories. This is where the time management tips and the four Ds of self-management come in. They are: Do it - For tasks that need doing now. If something can not wait schedule to complete it as soon as you can. Delegate it - These tasks need to be done but are not the best use of your time. These tasks should be passed on to someone who is better suited for the job. Dump it - If something isn’t important to you or really isn’t worth doing you should dump it. Defer it - This category is for things that need doing, but now isn’t the best time to do them so you can put them off until later.
