Tip 1: Time Management
Tip 1: Time Management
In the world, the question of time is very acute. We never miss it. Especially in a big city - a megalopolis, we get into the ever-hurrying, running crowd of people who are constantly engaged in something: talking on the move by phone, signing documents, reading books, checking reports, etc. There is not a single minute of calm and silence. Even at night the city does not sleep. It seems that among this chaos you can simply lose yourself, mix with the crowd and become a solid gray mass that performs day by day the same actions, changing only the time frame for each of them.
If we posmorim on your day from the side, thenwe note that very often we do not have time to eat or make an important call at the time, or we forget about the meeting, and then we try not to be late for it, fighting the traffic jams with all our might. There is confusion, chaos, this all leads a person to stress, which only aggravates the situation. And when a person in desperation tries to fight with the problems that have arisen, he just floundered in one place, and can not understand what he needs to do now.
This is not due to the fact that a person does notcompetent or insufficiently educated, it arises because he lost the landmark in time, and time consumed him. You need to be able to tame time and make it work for you, and you, along with it, will work more effectively. If this happens, then you will easily manage everything and be less nervous because of the deferred important things.
So how can you overcome the problemTime constraints and make your work more effective? A lot of articles have been written about this, but I'm used to always look at things in a new way, not as they are taught in class, passing from year to year and only transforming and retelling old words that have long been worn out. Let's start ...
1. Start a personal organizer. To begin with, even though we live in a century of progress, andwe have in our pocket not one mobile phone, and in the bag you can find all kinds of electronic devices, auxiliary tools for work, yet every self-respecting person should have a good organizer or diary.
2. Record it. At the end of each evening, sketch out the things that you planned the next day. Do not rely on your memory, it often fails.
3. Organize. The most important thing in increasing efficiency isorganization and practicality. You should be aware that you are not a robot and you can not do many things at one time. Therefore, draw a draft opposite the text, which of these cases is the most important and urgent.
4. Time relax. Never fill your whole day with workersaffairs. The rule that you must remember for life is that you can spend a maximum of 60% of the time on work, 40% - leave for yourself. Why 40%? It's almost half the daytime. Believe me, in fact you will only have 20% of the time for yourself, the remaining 20% will go to urgent cases suddenly arising from nowhere. And if you leave 20% of the time initially, then what happens then? Not difficult to calculate.
5. Do not delay. If you do not even want to do something, but everythingequally it is necessary, it is better to do immediately. Because it's worse not to postpone business for later, to come back and torture yourself with unpleasant sensations. This will also lead to stress.
6. On clean! We draw up a schedule for tomorrow,Approximate time of implementation (the schedule includes the main and important tasks - 1-2 positions, secondary, but those that you can only solve on your own - 2-4 positions, minor cases that can not be postponed (calls, letters, coordination of activities)). If among your draft list there are tasks that did not fit in the schedule for the day, then you do not have to try to enter them there.
7. Sorting and priority. Now we return to our remnants, to the fact thatwas not included in the main list. This list is important for us too, because these are the same things as the rest, but they have a different priority. If among them there are cases that can be delegated to your assistant or subordinates, then we write down the additional list to the schedule the next day.
8. Final touches. At the end of the planning, it is necessary to check everything again to make sure that nothing is forgotten and to make sure that everyone has taken into account.
In the beginning you will find it strange all the timeplan the day, maybe even at some point will start annoying. But without the prioritization of priorities and clear time frames for work, you will be lost in everyday vanity, there will be no sense of life, you will not enjoy the work, because you will always be in a hurry and you will not have time for yourself and your family.
It is necessary to remember that important components of successany person is his self-control and the ability to abstract. You should have time for work, but almost as much time for the family.
Time always goes fast when you do not knowhow to properly plan it, and at the same time unfulfilled cases that weigh you down, irritate and beat out of rhythm, are being piled up, which makes your life even more chaotic.
Therefore, drink more water, do not forget that you should eat well and call your loved ones when you have a free minute. And she will certainly!
And do not forget that you can do anything!
Tip 2: Time management for the gardener
The main purpose of your stay at the cottage (in the cottage) is to communicate with nature. Therefore, in scheduling the day, plan for this time.
The less time you spend outside the city, the more time you will spend to get in touch with nature. If you go to the country house only for the weekend, then spend at least 3 hours of this communication.
What do I mean by communication withnature? It is contact with the surrounding world with all known senses (sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell). Every day, walk on your site barefoot and touch each plant, talk to it. Chop the dill from the bed, rip off the berry. Believe me, both indoor and garden plants need this. Plants grow better from this. But first of all it is necessary for you. After all, for this purpose you have a plot of land. Listen to the singing of birds. Play with your favorite dog.
The second priority that needs to be giventime, this is communication with the family. Plan for every day for at least an hour for any joint event. It can be a visit to some beautiful place in the district, sharing tea with neighbors or playing with children. There are many variants of events. Plan them in advance. Do not forget to take pictures of these moments in memory.
The third priority at the dacha, to which I do not giveless than 3 hours a day (if you live outside the city, it's enough for 1.5 hours), this is a garden job. I usually break this time into two segments. My work is planned in advance. For this I keep a diary, where I write down all the planned and done works. These three hours I have painted, as a working schedule, according to all the rules of time management. To make a work plan, I use the calendar of the summer resident.
The fourth priority is business affairs (cleaning, cooking food ...). It is also necessary to make a list in advance and try to do these things when the weather does not spoil.
Tip: do not watch TV at the cottage, do not play computer games. And more: if possible, observe the silence in the morning and evening hours.
Tip 3: Time management: what to do if time is short
Regardless of the level of prosperity, the placeresidence, gender, age and other differences between people, there is one resource, which every person has equally. It's about time. The ability to use it competently, taking advantage for itself, is called time management. To master it and apply its foundations in your own life is certainly worth it to everyone.

- - target
- - sorting cases
- - alternation of work and rest

1
If you, like a considerable number of other people,you feel almost a constant lack of time to perform everyday tasks, it does not mean that in reality it is. In order to be able to manage with such a valuable resource as time, first start to organize your life. Often people do not manage to cope with their own affairs because they are too dispersing their forces, squandering them not only on really important, but also on second and third-tier tasks. So that this does not happen to you, try to decide on the main goal of your life. What exactly would you like to achieve? What are you striving for? Based on what will be the answers to such questions, and build your daily routine.
2
Sort the tasks that you faceEvery day, according to their correspondence to your main goal. Think about whether you are approaching the performance of a particular case to a dream or vice versa - it is detaching, simply taking away from you the precious hours that could be spent much more efficiently. Make up an everyday plan and a list of tasks that are ahead of you. Separate them by the degree of urgency and importance, borrowing the principle of the Eisenhower matrix. Take in the first place for the primary non-urgent cases. In general, take on each task long before the designated deadline for it. This will contribute not only to its timely completion, but also to avoid mistakes in this undertaking (after all, you will have time to recheck everything).
3
Do not spray your own time with insignificantthings (which, however, drag out like a swamp). Similar tasks take a fair amount of precious minutes, and even hours. Therefore, refusing to fulfill them, you will be much surprised how much time you have freed. Pay attention first of all to the most important cases, and only then, if there are free minutes, and entertainment. However, this statement does not mean that the day should be occupied solely with work. The principles of time management assume the existence in the life of any person not only laborious, hard work, but also a proper rest. The latter is extremely important for a normal recovery - in fact without it there is not enough energy for significant, landmark accomplishments.
4
Combine the execution of various tasks(of course, not at the expense of the quality of any of them). For example, in the expectation of an important fax or electronic message at work, develop a contract and other documentation relating to a completely different project. In household matters, this principle will be even easier for you: you can, for example, put food in a multivariate, charge a dishwasher and a washing machine, and at this time concentrate on something that requires more of your attention than the above tasks.
Tip 4: How to allocate time
A metropolis resident is a person absorbeda furious rhythm of flying events. He aspires to be in time always and everywhere, but it is increasingly difficult to achieve this. In business there is a concept of "time management". To date, this is a whole science that allows you to correctly allocate time, and, accordingly, significantly increase the productivity of your work.

Analyze your day. The most important conclusion that you will make, having done this step, is to find out where it goes all the time. To do this, take a sheet of paper or a small notebook and write down all the steps taken during the day (breakfast, going to work, talking on the phone). In the evening, sitting in a comfortable chair, conduct an analysis, simultaneously revealing your "weak points".
2
Start planning the day. On the eve, preferably before going to sleep, make a list of cases that need to be resolved. Try to arrange them not only in time sequence, but also in a logical sequence. For example, calls should be scheduled for daytime (from 11.00-15.00), and work with correspondence - in the morning or late evening.
3
Learn to plan on a monthly basis or at least weekly. This will help to develop discipline and, as a result, punctuality.

Say no, and if you do not know how to do it, thenlearn. Often there are situations when relatives or colleagues can break all plans. We must try to do everything possible to prevent this. Talk about your employment and jointly plan for a later date.
Tip 5: How to learn how to manage your time
Signs of the present - a constant rush,chronic fatigue, eternal time trouble. Can all this be avoided? You can - say psychologists. This will help you time management, which studies the art of management time.
Instructions
1
The first step in managing your time - determination of working priorities. Before planning a day or a week, decide for yourself what to do first, and what can be postponed. Make a schedule based on the priority list. Record not only the start time, but also the planned end time. Also schedule breaks for rest and lunch. Monitor the fulfillment of your plan and do not waste time on extraneous things.
2
Organize your workplace. It is better to spend 10 minutes at the end of each day than to search for items and papers that you need every day. Develop a distribution system for the necessary tools, things and documents. Let those that are needed constantly, will be at hand, those that are needed less often, within reach. What is rarely used, let it lie in a closet or drawer. Such a system will help you not to slam the workplace.
3
At the end of the day, time management recommendsupdate the to-do list: delete what's done, add new actions. Decide on the expected time for new work. In real time, analyze the incoming information. If the time required for analysis is more than a few minutes - add this action to the schedule, otherwise it will destroy all the terms.
4
Eliminate any interference that may interfere with your operation. For example, take visitors not at any time, but in accordance with the schedule, because constant distraction will not allow you to work effectively.
5
At the end of the working week, sum up all the results. Analyze those actions that did not have time to do, as well as those that took less time than planned. Consider this in the scheduling for next week. Do all the necessary for work records to clear your head for the weekend.
