6 tips on time management + 3, well, very
necessary, programs!
Time management is one of
those skills that no one teaches in school, but each of us must learn on their
own.
By and large, it does not
matter how smart you are smart and if you are not able to organize the work so
that it is yielding tangible results.
And no matter how much you are
qualified, if you constantly pulls the execution of work and, ultimately,
because of the rush are doing it worse than you could.
Many understand this, and time
management becomes a kind of hipsters, limiting our feeble efforts to take a
step away from the target.
Increasingly, bloggers are
concerned about "How to organize your time to maximize the efficiency of
the work at the computer?" - Because of the ability to quickly process
information and manage your time and it depends on how successful we will be,
and our projects.
So, in today's world, the
ability to quickly process information and turn it into action is one of the
most sought-after skills of professionals.
So,
here are 6 tips to help you manage your time
Tip 1
Often resembles a trash
mailbox: all lumped together and cannot find anything.
Better to have 2-3 mailboxes:
one primary (personal), there will come a letter addressed to you personally,
the other - for training courses, not to personal e-mail spam (it is no secret
that the subscriber base are sold, and you can mail come a letter from the
authors upon which you have not signed).
Third more for some purposes,
such as correspondence with readers of the blog or newsletter.
You can restrict and one
mailbox is created under each category letters separate folders.
Create folders by category significantly
save you time and frustration in the processing of incoming information.
If the message requires more
detailed knowledge of it and take action, move it to your list of urgent
matters, if it is an invitation to a webinar, use the calendar Google.
When they are due for a
webinar, Google will begin to send you a reminder an hour before the event, and
you just do not be late.
To organize the work with
folders, you do not have to scroll through the mail aimlessly in search of the
desired letter, pretending to work!
Tip 2
Focus
on one thing
Give up the idea to repeat the
record of Gaius Julius Caesar, who according to legend was able to perform
three actions at the same time.
Do 3 things at once - a bad
idea, and it is not necessary while the TV is trying to focus on the article
and even chat on Skype or phone!
This greatly reduces the
multitasking performance.
Remember how many times,
talking on the phone, you hear on the other end of the keyboard flipping
familiar?
To be honest, she do so, but I
hate when so come with me!
It simply clicking crazy!
You're here to crucify, and in
response you hear one syllable: "Yes ... no ... .. Yes, yes. I'm listening.....
"
Our brain cannot do two
separate things that require conscious thought, at the same time, especially if
these two things are related to different objectives.
It would seem like a computer,
we can quickly switch from one activity to another.
But here's the problem: The
brain is not a computer, and a much slower processor.
Those who practice
concentration on any one case, note that it is possible to do much more than
planned.
If you pay attention, time
slows down in a day increases the number of hours if you have time to redo a
lot of cases and thus experience less stress.
So the notion that if you do
several things at once, save you time - and erroneously, the sooner part with
this error, the better for business.
Tip 3
With
major works will be examined in the first place
In the morning, rested after a
night's sleep before look in the mail, take 1 hour for the most important, in
your opinion, today the case.
Even if you do not have time
for this hour to complete the job, you will be much more likely to come back to
it as soon as possible, because the main work has already been done, and
"a fresh mind !.
The efficiency will be higher
if you are already ahead in the evening, to outline what business should do in
the first place.
Tip 4
Check
your email on a schedule
It is not effective - read and
respond to every e-mail message as they become available.
Just because someone wants to
contact you immediately, does not mean that you have to respond to them
immediately.
According to experts, people
want a predictable reaction and not an immediate response.
If the letter is not related
to any emergency situation that requires immediate attention, for most types of
e-mail can be answered 1-3 times a day.
Tip 5
Work
at a time when you top performance
Someone is the most productive
time of the morning, "owl" enough productive work in the evenings and
at night, but prefer to sleep off in the morning.
Every person has the highest
productivity time, which can discover by monitoring for a certain period of
time and then use that time for the most important works.
Tip 6
Organize
your to-do list for each day

what you will do to this day, this week, and so on, how can you manage your
time?

to-do list by hand, someone is using special programs or electronic notepads.
