...TIME MANAGEMENT Time Management is the control and focus of a person’s actions for the purpose of improving efficiency. Time management techniques typically involve setting goals, establishing priorities, budgeting the amount of time allotted to a given activity, and planning and scheduling the steps needed to achieve goals. Generally, time management refers to the development of processes and tools that increase efficiency and productivity. When we think of time management, we tend to think of personal time management, loosely defined as managing our time to waste less time on doing the things we have to do so we have more time to do the things that we want to do. Therefore, time management is often thought of or presented as a set of time management skills; the theory is that once we master the time management skills, we’ll be more organised, efficient, and happier. Personal time management skills include: * Goal Setting * Planning * Prioritizing * Decision-making * Delegating * Scheduling The first step in effective time management is analysing how you currently spend your time and deciding how you want to change how you spend your time. Unless time is managed properly, nothing worthwhile can be accomplished. Time is a unique resource. It is indispensable, intangible, irreplaceable, irretrievable and therefore invaluable. It is equitably and uniformly distributed. A day of every one consists of 24 hours only, no more and no less. Every piece...

...Time Management “One always has time enough, if one will apply it well” (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1749, P.1). Effective time management is the most important factor in succeeding on personal and in professional goals and objectives. The average a person spends is fewer than seven hours of his or her day effectively. The remaining time is being wasted leaving the person overwhelmed and worried. Although time management is a big day to day life problem; it can be solved by building a schedule, using time saving techniques, and fighting procrastination (project management source, 2007). Building a schedule cannot only help fulfill the required goal, but it also remind a person of tasks, due dates, and events. An effective schedule should start with a planner that helps to keeps track of events and commitments. When planning the schedule for the day, a person should leave 20% of the day free for emergencies and interruptions. The next step is prioritizing the item to help identify important tasks and use all the energy on it. Sorting task according to priority and importance can identify tasks that are worthless or unnecessary. Most people spend 80% of their time trying to complete 20% of their tasks (project management source, 2007). When completing an important task on time, a person should reward himself/herself. When building a schedule, time saving helps a person to be organized and efficient, this leads to more personal time. Time saving has several effective techniques...

...Stress Management Technique Proposal As the company initiates a wellness program to assist its employees in maintaining their health and wellness, I am submitting a proposal for a stress management technique that will be beneficial to all employees taking advantage of this health benefit package. With the demands of balancing work and home life, stress is often a hindrance that gets in the way of employees being efficient and productive. By providing the opportunity to our employees to learn and practice stress management techniques, we are allowing for a healthier and happier work environment. One of the main struggles that I have witnessed among my peers is the lack of time management skills. I propose that our company implements a time-management class for each employee to provide them with strategies and resources that will contribute to their ability to better manage the balance of work and home. Alexander Hafner (PhD) did a study on time management training at work and the employees perceived control of time. The study presented the theory that employers that engage their employees in time management training, will see an increased result in performance of their employees. “As time pressures, interruptions, faster changes at work and increasing job demands are being described as major problems for many employees” (Hafner & Stock, 2010), the study shows that time management training can contribute to increased time control, the health and well-being of the...

...Time Management | June 12 2014 | | Overcoming The Working Struggle | Ghelarducci – Stephanie Ghelarducci – Stephanie Table of Contents Time Management Strategies 2 Procrastination 3 Defeating Procrastination 4 Overview 4 Time Management According to the article A Personal Approach to Organizational Time Management written by Peter Bregman, “The biggest and most destructive myth in time management is that you can get everything done if only you follow the right system, use the right to-do list, or process your tasks in the right way” (Bregman, 2013). This statement is false because there is so much that must be done and there is not enough time in a day to finish all of the tasks we have at hand. Living in a world filled with all this technology is still not enough to finish our day to day tasks even if we work for every single hour in the day and night (Bregman, 2013). We would still not be able to keep up with our work load along with our personal tasks that must be done, too. Thus, having minimal time in a day is why individuals stress over their work which causes more problems. Mastering time management strategies will help individuals tremendously in their work and personal lives, and decrease the amount of problems that arise in their days due to poor time management skills. Time Management Strategies It takes practice to manage one’s time and there are a number of steps one can take to help him or her in completing their everyday tasks...
