Mastering Your Time Management Skills

One of the most important skills that can easily be fine-tuned is time management in the workplace. Everyday is not going to be the same schedule, so it is up to you to decide how to spend your time to be the most efficient throughout your day. Here are some tips on how to best manage your time:

#1

Make a full list of all the tasks that you need to complete. This could be broken down by the week or the day. Just make sure to dedicate the right amount of time to the tasks you have. Eliminate any unnecessary tasks that are essential to get done for the day. In some cases, you may be able to delegate some tasks to a co-worker!

#2

Prioritize your tasks in order of importance. Make sure that anything that is immediate is placed first on your list. Remember to ask yourself, what absolutely needs to get done to complete all my tasks?

#3

Make sure you stay organized. Take time to write out all your appointments, events, and meetings and plug them into your planner. This will help you avoid any scheduling conflicts. We suggest using a planner or an online application whichever is easiest and best for helping you manage your schedule.

#4

Keep up with these habits! Make sure to keep practicing these steps to ensure that you stay organized and keep your time management on track. You can even share with your supervisor what you have been working on so they can hold you accountable and even fine-tune your schedule.
