Time management techniques and systems
Here
are practical tips, tools and skills to improve time management. Time
management starts with the commitment to change. Time management is easy as
long as you commit to action. You can train others and improve your own time
management through better planning; prioritizing; delegating; controlling your
environment; understanding yourself and identifying what you will change about
your habits, routines and attitude.
The
key to successful time management is planning and then protecting the planned
time. People who say that they have no time do not plan, or fail to protect
planned time. If you plan what to do and when, and then stick to it, then you
will have time. This involves conditioning, or re-conditioning your
environment. For people who have demands placed on them by others, particularly
other departments, managers, customers, etc, time management requires
diplomatically managing the expectations of others. Time management is chiefly
about conditioning your environment, rather than allowing your environment to
condition you. If you tolerate, and accept without question, the interruptions
and demands of others then you effectively encourage these time management
pressures to continue.
