You likely already know that good time management skills help add those beloved check marks to the ToDo list. Yet, it can also help reduce your stress level and improve your quality of life.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the multitude of tasks to be completed each day. Adding to the frustration, it seems like days literally fly by, landing us at the end of it feeling like we haven’t accomplished much.
A daily time log is a simple way to evaluate how effectively you are using your time.
For five days, keep track of your time and how you are spending it. Log when you wake up, how long you shower, your commute time and other daily activities. Then review your log to identify where you can spend your time better. For example, if you find that you make multiple errand runs a week, consider keeping a list of needed items and consolidate your errand runs into one.
By mindfully tracking your time and then making needed adjustments, you may actually find you have more time than you think.

Although good time management takes practice to learn and persistence to form, once it becomes a habit it is ingrained for good.
While we can’t make more time, we can make better use the time that is allotted to us. By using time management effectively and formulating good habits to take the place of the time wasting bad ones, you will be on the road to productivity and accomplishment before you know it.

It is really important to recognize we are not aware of how we manage time, and ti rule our relationship with Time. But I think that just deciding to spend time instead of run after it makes the real difference. Living is much more than scheduling and performing…
