everything that you want or need to do for the
day.
 Everyone has good and bad days.

, just include the uncompleted tasks to your
next day’s list and get them done.

A Simple Time Management
Plan…
 Get Started - This is one of the all time classic time
wasters. Often, as much time is wasted avoiding a
project, as actually accomplishing the project. A
survey showed that the main difference between good
students and average students was the ability to start
their homework quickly.
 Get into a routine - Mindless routines may curb your
creativity, but when used properly, they can release
time and energy. Choose a time to get certain task
accomplished, such as answering email, working on a
project, completing paper work; and then sticking to it
every day. Use a day planning calendar. There are a
variety of formats on the market. Find one that fits
your needs. Sunday, April 16, 2017
23

Plan…
 Do not say yes to too many things - Saying yes
can lead to unexpected treasures, but the mistake
we often make is to say yes to too many things.
This causes us to live to the priorities of others,
rather than according to our own. Every time you
agree to do something else, something else will
not get done. Learn how to say no.
 Do not commit yourself to unimportant
activities, no matter how far ahead they are -
Even if a commitment is a year ahead, it is still a
commitment. Often we agree to do something that
is far ahead, when we would not normally do it if it
was in the near future. No matter how far ahead it
is, it will still take the same amount of your time.
24

Plan…
 Divide large tasks - Large tasks should be
broken up into a series of small tasks. By
creating small manageable tasks, the entire
task will eventually be accomplished. Also, by
using a piecemeal approach, you will be able
to fit it into your hectic schedule.
 Do not put unneeded effort into a project -
There is a place for perfectionism, but for
most activities, there comes a stage when
there is not much to be gained from putting
extra effort into it. Save perfectionism for the
tasks that need it. Sunday, April 16, 2017
25

Plan…
 Deal with it for once and for all - We often start
a task, think about it, and then lay it aside. This
gets repeated over and over. Either deal with the
task right away or decide when to deal with it.
 Set start and stop times - When arranging start
times, also arrange stop times. This will call for
some estimating, but your estimates will improve
with practice. This will allow you and others to
better schedule activities. Also, challenge the
theory, “Work expands to fill the allotted time.” See
if you can shave some time off your deadlines to
make it more efficient.
26

Plan
 Plan your activities - Schedule a regular time
to plan your activities. If time management is
important to you, then allow the time to plan it
wisely.
