Time is the same for everyone, but have you ever wondered how one person gets more done than perhaps even you do? Well, today I thought it would be fun to share some of the self-management tips I use when it comes to time.

Tip#1

Create an action list for the day or week that includes both personal and business action things. Be realistic when creating the list on what is mandatory, some things can wait until next week or next month.

Tip#2

Put everything on a calendar, set reminders for important things, or use a planner for scheduling

Tip#3

This should have been first: WAKE up early and use that time for you. Everyone needs a few minutes before facing the world and its demands. Do something that feeds your soul like exercise, stretching, sip your favorite beverage and read or journal; just make it all about you.

Tip#4

Stop scheduling so many things back to back you have no time to recover. When we try to use every minute of the day without breaks we will burn out quickly.

Tip#5

Use Block Scheduling for your day, this helps you to concentrate on the most important things at that time. When you block time out to accomplish a task or project you are able to give your full attention to what you are doing.

Here is an example

Tip#6

Make sure you schedule a personal time for you and another time for family.

Tip#7

Routine! Having a block schedule helps you to create a routine that stops you from wasting time, and multitasking.

Tip#8

Stay flexible. Life has moments that comes your way that you can not control

Tip#9

Get help with small things that someone else can handle. For example when my children were home and even younger they all had small chores to help out. Include your family and friends in your time managment vision when needed.

Tip#10

Stay focus on accomplishing the top 3-5 things on your list each day.

These are some of my tips I use for self mangament when it comes to time. 

I would love to hear how you do time management for your life, leave me a tip below or share what tip you would use from this blog.
