Reaching your professional or personal goals isn’t about having more time—it’s about making the most of the time available. And that’s what time management is all about. You don’t have to have superpowers to work smarter. You just need to understand what’s involved in effective time management. 

Analyze:

One of the easiest ways that you can manage your time better is to analyze how you’re using it.

Track how you spend your time to identify your biggest time-wasters or “time-stealers” throughout the day. Look for opportunities to save or redistribute your time to align with your interests, goals, and values.

Prioritize:

The second best practice is to prioritize. You have to know your priorities before you can know how to make the best use of your time.

Which responsibilities are most important to you? Which tasks or projects are most valuable to your team and company? And which activities could be eliminated or postponed? Rank your activities by urgency and importance so you can stay focused on those most matter.

Schedule:

Finally, schedule your time using a calendar or planner.

Commit to your priorities by blocking out the necessary time on your calendar, just as you would for an important meeting or appointment. A schedule allows you to protect your time and keep yourself on track.

A continual process. Time management is a continual process—not a one-time event. The most successful people regularly analyze their time, prioritize their tasks, and create a schedule for their day or week.
