3 Tips for better Time Management!

The human brain can remember many things. Yet it happens all too often that we forget tasks in our daily life. Both men and women have a limited capacity to remember things. On average, women can remember 7 tasks whereas men can only remember 6 tasks. Both the conscious and subconscious parts of our brain work hard to remember things. But that does not always go well. The solution to this problem? Time management!

Here are 3 tips and tricks to help you manage your time and tasks in a more efficient way.

The Eisenhower Matrix, also called the Urgent-Important Matrix, helps you decide on and prioritize tasks by urgency and importance, sorting out less urgent and important tasks that you should delegate or not do at all. This is crucial for time management of tasks.

When you get a letter or mail and you open it, do something with it.  Some people have a bad habit of switching an email back to unread after reading it. That is not right. The expression “Glue to your fingers”, describes the fact that you better take action when discovering a new task. This will only facilitate your task and time management.

Structuring your planning is extremely important for your time management. Make use of colours, leave enough space for free moments, and use timeboxes. Timeboxing is a simple time management technique that involves allotting a fixed unit of time for an activity in advance, and then complete the activity within that time frame.  The goal of timeboxing is to define and limit the amount of time dedicated to an activity.
