Time management
1. Set Clear Goals
Start by defining what you want to achieve and by when.
-
Use the SMART goals method — Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound.
Make a To-Do List (Daily Plan)
Plan your day in advance — either the night before or early morning.
-
Write down everything you need to do.
-
Use tools like Google Calendar, Notion, or ToDoist.
-
Prioritize tasks:
-
🔴 Urgent & Important
-
🟡 Important but Not Urgent
-
⚪ Can Be Done Later
-
3. Use the Pomodoro Technique
A simple but powerful focus method:
-
Work for 25 minutes
-
Take a 5-minute break
-
After 4 sessions, take a longer 15–30-minute break
➡️ It helps you stay focused and prevents burnout.
4. Avoid Multitasking
Do one task at a time.
Multitasking may feel productive but actually reduces efficiency and increases mistakes.
Focus = Better Quality + Faster Results
5. Eliminate Distractions
Biggest time-wasters? Your phone and social media.
-
Turn off notifications while working
-
Use “Do Not Disturb” mode
-
Create a dedicated workspace
6. Set Deadlines (Even for Yourself)
Assign a specific time limit to every task.
Without deadlines, tasks tend to stretch unnecessarily.
7. Review Your Day
At the end of the day, take a few minutes to reflect:
-
What did you complete?
-
What’s pending?
-
How can you improve tomorrow?
This helps build consistency and discipline.
