Tips & Tricks

Take the following steps to make managing your time easier:

1. Protect your time!
2. Learn to estimate – Try to estimate the length of each task as accurately as possible.
3. Don’t plan 100%! – Don’t commit all of your available time, because you can’t foresee everything. It’s best to cover 80%, leaving the rest for the unexpected.
4. Avoid procrastination! – Don’t procrastinate just because you don’t feel like it, try to get it done as soon as possible and you’ll be done with it.
5. Stay focused! – Always focus on the task in front of you, don’t start something else until you’re done.
6. Respect other people’s time! – Accept that everyone has priorities, try to be as distracting as possible while you work.
7. Communicate! – If you see that you are not going to finish a task on time, let the person in charge know to avoid disputes later.
8. Don’t make every task a priority – It’s always important to set up a sequence between tasks so that it’s easier to inform those around you when they can expect to see what you have done.
9. Update the plan as necessary!
