Time management- it can be a tricky thing…


Whether you’re organizing your day for work, home projects or running errands, time management plays a huge role in what can be accomplished throughout the day. 

To start, I recommend breaking up the day up into morning, afternoon and evening time blocks. By creating three blocks of time, it’s more manageable and not an overwhelming “To Do” List. Now designate tasks to specific time blocks.  It’s important to determine what is most crucial to complete. Schedule it at the beginning of the designated block of time to ensure it is completed with enough effort and not rushed through.  As you move throughout the day, be sure to take breaks and allow time to rejuvenate before moving along to the next task.  I also find it helpful to break down the hour and decide at the beginning of each hour how much I want to have finished by the end of the hour.

Time management will vary from day to day depending on what’s on your plate. Be patient!  It may not always go as planned, then know that there is always tomorrow.
