Effective Time Management

I am constantly trying to find ways to better utilize my time. It just seems like they aren't enough hours in the day to get all my tasks completed. Between going to school, running three businesses, church activities and taking care of my husband, time flies.

How do you manage your time?  Do you use an online planner or a paper planner?  Do you block out times for all your activities for the day or just the important ones?

For those of you who are like me, here are some tips that you might find helpful with time management: 

  • Identity priorities - what are the things that need to get done right away?
  • Make and use to do lists - create a daily list of things that need to get done.
  • Take advantage of technology - Use a PDA, online planner, or your cell phone to remember important events
  • Schedule downtime - schedule time for exercise, taking a walk, etc.
  • Avoid procrastination - don't wait until the last minute to complete your tasks.
  • Set reasonable goals - if your goal is not attainable, change it to make it more reasonable
