Members,
In the past week, we’ve been talking about stress management. A great preventative strategy for stress is to buff up on your time management skills. Here are a few tips:
* Learn to delegate: You are a busy person, you can’t take care of every detail. Look at the people around you. Who could help share the load?
* Prepare: Take some time at the end of the day to plan your next working day. This will help keep the office at the office and when you go to bed, you won’t toss & turn worrying about your next working day.
* Take your breaks: You are much more effective if you mind & body has small periods of rest in between draining tasks.
* Judge well: Learn to judge the difference between urgent & important tasks. Often times we are interrupted by people or projects which seem urgent but in actual fact could be prioritized to a later time or the next working day.
Members, feel free to share your time management tips & tricks! Do you find it difficult to prioritize?
