Time Management Progressed
In order to develop a time management scheme that works with our
intended goals, we have to learn some of the basic layouts in
planning time management. To develop a successful time
management scheme we must evaluate time and calculate it against
time. In other words, we must sit down and ask our self how long
does it take us to eat?
How long does it take us to complete a task? How much time are
we wasting? Are we spending quality time with the most important
people in our lives, or are we spending our quality time on
things that do not matter. Where our time goes is essential
since time management is the process of gaining flexibility and
cutting back time. As you can see, life is a game of loose and
gain.
Even in time management, we are gaining something and loosing
something, but the advantage of time management is that we are
loosing something that brings us rewards and gaining something
that brings us bigger rewards. It is a no loose situation if we
plan time management right. Let the game begin!
Ok, you start you morning out with a healthy breakfast and going
off to work with a positive attitude. When you get to work, you
have your list of things to do in front of you, your desk is
clear of clutter, and when you sit down and fire up that
computer the machine is running smoothly...sounds too good to be
true, but it can happen. If you look back in this paragraph, you
will note I referred to "list of things to do."
Time management includes making notes or lists of things that
you are responsible for completing in a day. The list can start
with smaller tasks and lead to bigger tasks. It depends on the
person and what is expected of them, but for the most part, it
is the process of elimination. When you sit down at your desk
and there is a list in front of you, you already know what is
expected of you. Therefore, you can just jump right into action
and finish the task.
Notice I said FINISH the task. You should always finish one task
before moving to another task, unless
your job requires skills
of multi-tasking. Once you finish the first task, you can move
onto the next time and follow in pursuit. Once you completed all
your tasks, sit back for a moment in a comfortable position and
think of what you accomplished. When tomorrow comes, you will
notice you do not have any backups, and that your day is running
smoothly with new tasks laid out in front of you. Now, we can
take a look at the computer. Your company is responsible to keep
up maintenance on your computer, but you are responsible to
notify the proper individuals when your computer is flopping.
If you computer is operating smoothly you know your time
management scheme is flowing smoothly, but if you notice that
your computer is acting like a limping soldier, then you
probably noticed problems earlier and failed to tell the boss.
Or, it could be that this is the day that you computer decided
to let you know that someone wasn't keeping up maintenance, or
"you worked me too hard, I need replacement." Whatever the case,
someone was negligence, or both were negligence, which means
your time is going out the door while you wait for the
technician to patch up your computer, or else wait for the
delivery man to bring in the box.
Time management includes making sure that things are running
smoothly by maintaining your equipment, informing others when
things go wrong, or upgrading when necessary. If you desk is
clear when you enter your office, this should let you know that
you are doing a good job, and motivate you to keep up the good
work. You are saving time, since if your desk was cluttered you
would be in your office early in the morning digging around for
the list that your boss provided you. Now that you are on the
road to time management progressed, you will next want to look
at how you invest your time outside of work.
