Time management – How you can optimise your (work) day
Meeting upon meeting, task after task, and no end to the stress – for anyone who has a busy job, it's a fairly non-stop proposition around the clock. Not having enough time is a common problem, and good time management is the key to success. This health tip tells you what you need to do.
«With better time management I could accomplish more and be more efficient, tasks could be shared with other people, and we would generate more revenue...» These are the kinds of things employees say when they feel like they keep running out of time. Time is like gold dust and time equals life. The aim of efficient time management is to allocate and use precious time wisely in order to complete tasks by the specified deadlines. This is a skill that is becoming more and more important in a society focused on information and services. What's required is management that includes planning, organising, coordinating and monitoring. Sometimes all it takes is changing your own habits a little or acquiring some practical tools to simplify your life.
