We all have different ways of dealing with our time and most of us often complain that we don’t have enough time. But time is a finite resource and no matter how many wishes and pleas we send out to the universe, there are only 24 hours in a day. The secret is to make the best use of the time you have available.
Here are some time saving tips, that will hopefully free up some valuable time so you can spend it on things that are important to you.
Weekly Planning Routine
Setting a weekly planning routine will help you manage your time better. Make time to write and prioritise your projects and tasks, reconnect with your mission and goals, and create a plan for the upcoming week.
Don’t file an item that still requires any action
Avoid filing an item that still needs your attention before you record it in your diary. Otherwise, you might easily forget about that item and the associated work that you still need to do. This applies to paper as well as emails.
Record your favourite TV programmes
If you can’t live without certain TV programmes why not record them instead of watching them live. You don’t have to plan your schedule around the TV, but watch the programme at your leisure and you can then fast forward through the ad-breaks, saving even more time.
Give each item a home
A key principle of organisation is giving each item a home. This should be ideally somewhere near where it is actually used, saving time when putting away and retrieving alike. This alone can drastically improve the organisation in your home and office.
Learn to speed read
This is a valuable skill in particular if you spend a lot of your day reading documents. There are classes and books on the subject.
