Time Management

“It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?” – Henry David Thoreau

Do you remember when you were 16 years old and feeling like you had way too much time on your hands? Years later, you realize that time is a valuable commodity. There’s only so much of it in a day, and you can’t get more of it. But what you can do is make better use of your time with good old-fashioned time management skills! Here are a few of them to get you started: 

• Record Your Activities: Keep track of everything you do in a day; from waking up to going to bed, your goal should be to take control over where your precious minutes and hours go – make no mistake about it.
• Don’t Multitask: This one may seem counterintuitive at first, but multitasking doesn’t save you any time. If anything, it just wastes even more of your day because there will always be some point where you switch back and forth between tasks, wasting even more time as a result. 
• Take Breaks: It may sound counterintuitive again but taking breaks throughout your workday is one of the best ways to boost productivity and creativity. 
• Set Goals: What would life be without goals?
