Effective time management is a primary means to a
less stressful life. These practices can help you reduce your stress and
reclaim your personal life.
Do you find yourself
overwhelmed by the number and complexity of projects that need to be completed
at work each day? As the day flies by, do you often feel as if you haven't paid
enough attention to each task because other tasks keep landing on your desk,
co-workers interrupt you with questions or you can't get it all organized?By managing your time more wisely, you can
minimize stress and improve your quality of life.
·
Plan each day. Planning your day can help you accomplish
more and feel more in control of your life. Write a to-do list, putting the
most important tasks at the top. Keep a schedule of your daily activities to
minimize conflicts and last-minute rushes.
·
Prioritize your tasks. Time-consuming but
relatively unimportant tasks can consume a lot of your day. Prioritizing tasks
will ensure that you spend your time and energy on those that are truly
important to you.
·
Say no to nonessential tasks. Consider your goals and
schedule before agreeing to take on additional work.
·
Delegate. Take a look at your to-do list and consider
what you can pass on to someone else.
·
Take the time you need to do a quality job. Doing work right the
first time may take more time upfront, but errors usually result in time spent
making corrections, which takes more time overall.
·
Break large, time-consuming tasks into smaller
tasks. Work on
them a few minutes at a time until you get them all done.
·
Practice the 10-minute rule. Work on a dreaded task
for 10 minutes each day. Once you get started, you may find you can finish it.
·
Evaluate how you're spending your time. Keep a diary of
everything you do for three days to determine how you're spending your time.
Look for time that can be used more wisely. For example, could you take a bus
or train to work and use the commute to catch up on reading? If so, you could
free up some time to exercise or spend with family or friends.
·
Limit distractions. Block out time on your calendar for big
projects. During that time, close your door and turn off your phone, pager and
email.
·
Get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy diet and exercise
regularly. A
healthy lifestyle can improve your focus and concentration, which will help
improve your efficiency so that you can complete your work in less time.
·
Take a time management course. If your employer offers
continuing education, take a time management class. If your workplace doesn't
have one, find out if a local community college, university or community
education program does.
·
Take a break when needed. Too much stress can
derail your attempts at getting organized. When you need a break, take one.
Take a walk. Do some quick stretches at your workstation. Take a day of
vacation to rest and re-energize.
