Time Management

Know how you’re spending your time

Stick to a daily schedule

Create a structured daily schedule, including realistic time blocks for tasks. Avoid distractions and maintain focus for maximum productivity.

Prioritize

Use the Eisenhower Matrix for effective task prioritization: Do immediately (deadlines), Schedule for later (no deadlines), Delegate, Delete non-critical tasks.

Batch-process similar tasks

Increase productivity with task batching: schedule meetings on specific days, allocate dedicated time for emails, and prioritize morning report generation.

Set reasonable time limits

Apply Parkinson's Law: Set shorter deadlines to increase efficiency. Tasks expand to fill time, so allocate smaller windows to complete them and meet earlier deadlines

Learn when to say no

Maximize productivity: Know your limits, say no when necessary, focus on strengths, delegate tasks, and avoid multitasking.
