17th March 2021

No one can add an extra hour to the day to get more done. But anyone can make better use of the 24 hours you do have by becoming more effective at time management. All it takes is deciding to seize control of your own time, and then taking small steps in the right direction.

Tips & tricks:

1. Managing Your Time So It Doesn’t Manage You
2. Determining Your Time Management Style
3. Looking at How You Spend Your Time
4. Managing Your Energy, Not Just Your Time
5. Guarding against Stolen Time

Follow those tips & tricks, 

• You'll consider how you're spending your time now and what techniques you can use to spend it more wisely and productively 
• You'll learn to block the time stealers that interfere with your productivity, use to-do lists and schedules to organize your time and tasks, and 
• Develop a regular habit of checking in with your plans to make sure you're getting them done
