Default Re: How do you manage your time?
Hi Tammi. As far as time management goes, all I can say is "To-Do List", "To-Do List", "To-Do List"! I am a mother of three (11, 6, & 15 mos.) and I work a full time job while trying to get Your Task Matters off the ground. Every week I make a To-Do List of things that I need to get done and then I complete the list in order of priortity or deadline. I add to the list as additional things arise but I never let a list go past one week. On Monday I start a new list and "roll-over" anything that I didn't get done the week before. This way, I get to re-read the entire list to make sure that nothing gets overlooked. It's especially effective if you determine that you are going to complete a set number of tasks each day. I usually start my day with the harder, more demanding items while my brain is fresh and move to the less demanding items later in the day. This way, even though I am only completing the "not so important things" as the day goes on, I am still getting items done. I also set goals. Every month I identify one thing that I must accomplish before the month is over, i.e., go to the dentist, get the oil changed on the car, write a business plan, etc. The goal can be about anything and everything. My objective is to identify a task that I might otherwise put off, and accomplish it. It works.
