Tips for Effective Time Management of Daily Work

People commonly feel overwhelmed and overworked with projects, to-do lists, and slipping deadlines. At the same time, it is due to many work distractions that secretly impact productivity and efficiency not just on an individual, but on teamwork ability and the whole organization results.
Nowadays, people believe that their mobile phone is the largest distractor during work. Plus, Social Media notifications from desktop and phone, Text massages, Facebook massages, Slack chats, Personal problems, Boredom, etc. During work, people tend to ask themselves; what can they do to get better? What are the new strategies to be added? 

But sometimes it’s not about what they should be doing but it is what they should stop doing and make a change. So, learning how to manage time for daily work will effectively help increase work productivity, stress-free, more focus and higher achievement.
Effective time management is the ability to manage and control deadline submission in an appropriate amount of time. This article will share 3 effective tips to develop good habits and have a high self-discipline sense.

Here are 3 tips for Effective Time Management:

  1. Focus Time Zone: Make sure to prepare all necessary materials needed to accomplish the tasks including comfortable working space, prevent using mobile phone for unnecessary purposes that lead to time wasting. Plus, instead of trying to finish several works at once, focus on one work at a time for better quality and productivity.
  2. Plan / Set Goal: Write down all the tasks and allocate the timing in detail as the goal setting to follow. For example, if there are 5 tasks to be finished within 8 hours, you may want to allocate 1 hour for task “A”, and 1.5 hours for task B and continue to allocate the appropriate time due to the capability and ability to finish the rest.
  3. Must have Prioritization: Need to review to-do list and decide to finish those urgent tasks in order of their importance. One key to prioritizing is to know the difference between “Urgent” and “Important” tasks. Urgent tasks are the ones that require finishing as soon as possible while Important tasks are the ones that matter and require also to finish but it’s more flexible of timing to be finished.

Effective time management is essential to enhancing and growing individual career success. Practicing the above tips daily will give productivity in work results, increase professional confidence, and encourage a high sense of self-discipline.
