Time management skills: where does it go?
I always tell my clients that one of the most important factors of effective time management is to know exactly how you spend your time. This may seem like a strange idea but most people are surprised when they look at exactly how they spend their time. For this reason I recommend a time-log as an essential part of good time management skills. So each day you need to write down exactly where your time goes, both at home and at work. This may sound tedious but it is well worth it and you don’t have to keep it up forever, a week or two is enough. Keep this up for a week or two and when you review your time-log you will see where your time is being spent effectively and where it is not. This will help you make the right choices about how to spend your time in the future.
