INTRODUCTION 1

Time management is the process of organizing

and planning how to divide your time between

specific activities throughout your day.

Good time management enables you to work

smarter – not harder – so that you get more done

in less time.

This leaves you time for the famous “work-life”

balance we hear so much about, but which often

seems to elude us

1: PRINCIPLES OF TIME

MANAGEMENT

There are only 24 hours in a day

If we set aside 8 hours for sleep, and time for

meals and self-care, how much time do we

realistically have left to work?

Unless we want to burn out fast or work

ourselves into an early grave, we need to

prioritize and set goals and deadlines

2: TIME MANAGEMENT ESSENTIALS

A lot of people don’t set goals

They sit down to do a task, but often get side-tracked.

Or, the task takes longer than they thought

This means everything else gets pushed back, or put on hold

Time management is about making the most of the time you do have to get the most important things done

5: TOOLS TO USE FOR TIME

MANAGEMENT

There are many tools available, including lots of apps

The best tools, however, are the ones you will actually use, which can often be just a small notebook and pencil to jot it all down, then slot it all into your to-do list and daily calendar

Calendars, planners and digital alarms can all help keep you on track
