Time management method

1. List the things to do every morning. If you don't do things in order, your time management will not be efficient. Every morning or the night before, make a list of things to do in the day. This list includes business and personal affairs. Write them on paper, exercise books, PDA or other things. In the course of a day's work, you should always look it up. For example, look at your records ten minutes before the meeting. If there are still emails to send, you can use this gap to complete the task. When you have finished recording everything above, you'd better check it again. If you feel the same way as me, you will feel a sense of satisfaction by checking every project after you finish your work.

2. Write down the next job on your list. After you finish the work you started planning, record the next work on your daily list. If your list is full, or a job can be finished the next day, then you can count it as a work plan for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Do you want to know why some people tell you that they are going to do something, but they haven't finished it? This is because they didn't record these things. If I were a manager, I wouldn't keep telling my employees what we need to do. I never trust their memories. If they don't bring paper and pens, I will lend them and let them record the work to be completed and the time limit.

3. Rearrange the unfinished work of the day. Now that you have a daily work plan, you have added new tasks to be completed that day. So, at the end of the day, what will happen to those unfinished work items? You can choose to postpone them until the next day and add them to your work schedule tomorrow. However, I hope you don't become a procrastinator, there will always be endless things to do every day, so that the daily task list will be bigger than the day before. If it's really important, no problem, finish it the next day. If it's not that important, you can explain to the people concerned why you didn't finish it.

4. Remember the appointments you should go Use your to-do list to help you remember the appointments you should go to, including appointments with colleagues and friends. According to my experience, people who are busy with work miss appointments more often than they keep them on time. If you can't remember clearly whether everything has been done, you must write it down and make sure to finish it on time with the help of time management. If you really can't keep the appointment, you can call your date in advance.

5. Make a table and record the things that need to be done first this month and next month. As far as I know, many people begin to make work plans for each day. So how many people will plan what they need to do this month and next month at a higher level? Unless you are engaged in trading, it will always be a short-term task on the schedule. You often make a summary at the end of each month and start to rearrange your plans at the beginning of the month. Making a work plan for one month is an advanced method in time management. Similarly, what you include in this form must be the work you have to complete. At the beginning of each month, add the work that was not completed last month but must be completed this month to the list.

6. Write down the work to be completed at some time in the future. Your to-do list will involuntarily remind you to finish the work to be completed at some time in the future. For example, you tell your colleague that you will finish a job with him in two months. At this time, you need a way to remember this and remind you at some time in the future. I usually use an electronic calendar because many electronic calendars have a reminder function. In fact, to be on the safe side, you can use a variety of reminders. Once one doesn't work, the other will remind you.

7. Keep the desktop clean and tidy. I never believe that a person who makes a mess of his work environment will be an excellent time manager. Similarly, a person's bedroom or office is in a mess, and he will not be a good time manager. Because a good time manager won't spend a long time looking for the information he needs in a mess of documents.
