10 Tips To Effective Time Management

Time management is a factor which is often thought about by every employee, and more so, the younger generation. While an individual might be logging in long hours at work, it is worthwhile to see if the same is yielding positive results. Most often than not, this leads to additional stress and burnouts very early on in their career path. A matter of such concern, confronted especially by the younger generation, boils down to one factor; 'time management.' Highly successful people have mastered the art of efficient time management and are making optimal use of time. They are careful in evaluating the task at hand and the amount of time required for each to derive maximum results. As the old adage goes, "Work Smarter, Not Harder."

Considering that we spend a significant amount of our waking hours towards professional aspirations and goals, learning how to use that time optimally will help us lead a successful and content life, professionally and personally. Let us look at some ways which can help us crack the time management code.

1. Prioritise: It is imperative to understand those tasks which need to be achieved on the said day. We often try to cramp up all our work in a single day, which does not lead to any positive result, and, feel dejected on failing to complete the task at hand. However, dividing your tasks in the following categories will help you understand the tasks which need immediate attention.

a) Urgent: Critical tasks that need to be done right away or have a shorter time frame for submission.

b) Acritical: Tasks that can be done after all the work under urgent is complete.
