Time management is a skill that can be learned and perfected. Here are seven quick time management pointers you can use.
1. Don’t waste your time waiting for other people. If you must, find ways to make good use of even a few minutes.
2. Stock up on the small items you frequently run out of or make special trips to purchase, such as postage stamp or greeting card.
3. If possible, buy nonperishable groceries and household goods in quantities to last as long as possible, so that frequent shopping trips are then confined to picking up fresh items only.
4. While attending to essential household chores either switch off the phone or put it on voice mail.
5. To reduce waiting time, make medical and dental check-up appointments well in advance and ask for the earliest morning appointment. If the doctor takes a midday break, ask to be placed first on the afternoon schedule.
6. Schedule the most demanding tasks for when you know you’re at your peak mentally and physically. You’ll work more efficiently and save time.
7. If you need to schedule meetings or appointments that are likely to drag on indefinitely, try keeping them right before lunch or near the end of the business day.
