Time management tips
Learning to manage yourself is an important first step in effective time management. Every day new tasks will present themselves and knowing how to deal with them will go a long way towards helping you to manage your time. I find that almost all tasks can go into one of four categories. Here are some time management tips and the four Ds of self-management. They are: Do it - This is for tasks that have to be dealt with immediately or as soon as possible, so schedule them accordingly. 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 you think about how you can best use your time you will probably find that some things aren’t worth doing. If so, dump them. 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.
