Time management skills

March 30th, 2008

I always tell my clients that one of the most important factors of effective time management is to know exactly how you spend your time. This may seem like a strange idea but most people are surprised when they look at exactly how they spend their time. For this reason I recommend a time-log as an essential part of good time management skills. Basically, all you need to do is write down in detail how you spend your time each day in blocks of, say, 15 minutes. This will take a little time to do each day but you only need to do it for a week or two and it is well worth it. Once you have kept your time-log for a couple of weeks you will be able to see were your time is and isn’t spent effectively, which will allow you to better manage your time in the future.
