Manage Your Time to Maximize Your Effectiveness

Does this sound familiar?

You have two projects at work that are due by the end of the week. One is more enjoyable to work on, so you tackle that first. While engaged in the project, you lose sense of what time it is and before you know it you’re 10 minutes late to bringing your daughter to swim practice. You rush out the door, stay through practice, and fly home. You decide to push off the less enjoyable project until tomorrow afternoon, believing there will be plenty of opportunity to tackle it then. But when the time comes to get going, you quickly realize that it’s a bit more complicated than you anticipated, and you finally resign yourself to settling into a late night of work. 

Time management is a critical component of task management

CONSEQUENCES OF POOR PRODUCTIVITY

Failure to develop an understanding of the relationship between time and tasks can lead to a host of problems:

• Perpetual cycles of panic and stress when binge-working or running late can lead to longer-term health issues such as acute stress, anxiety, and perpetual fatigue
• Embarrassment when you arrive late -- and acute guilt when it affects others -- can lead to compromised relationships
• Incomplete or inadequate projects rushed up to the deadline can lead to fewer promotions and raises as your competency is questioned
