Manage Your Time – Scheduling Commitments – Six Effective Guidelines To Get Things Done (Part 1)
1. Specify your goals. Know what has to be done and the time limits that you have to get these specific things done. By knowing not only what has to get done for the day, but also on a longer term, you will be able to prioritize your time as well as your commitments. While setting your goals, make sure that you give a certain amount of time to how long each goal will take to reach. This will also help you to form a schedule. After you start setting your goals, it is always good to keep track of what you get done and what you don’t complete. Make mental notes on how long it takes you to get something done. Over time, this will allow your scheduling commitments to become easier to handle.
2. Track your activities and time schedule. Through technology, or even through the use of a pen and paper, you can record your daily activities, how long it took you to do each activity and whether it was effective or not. There are several different ways to do this, including a day timer or calendar, software programs, a handheld computer device, or even just a pen and paper.
