Spare Time v. Free Time

There is a difference between spare time and free time that many people don’t recognize. Spare time is the time you have in between important tasks, while free time is time you have when you have nothing else to do. Using spare time to your advantage is a great time management opportunity. Tasks such as making phone calls can easily be done from your car or while you wait at the doctor’s office, so go ahead and get them done. Time you have in between meetings is a great time to prepare yourself for the upcoming meeting. Instead of staying up at night preparing, allow yourself to prepare shortly before the meeting, so you will have everything fresh on your mind. These small time management savers will help your overall schedule quite a bit.
