of time. Evaluate the results).
Determine which tasks require the most time;
Determine the time of day when one is most
productive.
Analyze where most of the time should be devoted:
job, family, personal, recreation, etc.
Having a good sense of the amount of time required for routine
tasks can help in more realistic planning and estimating time
available for other activities.

7. “Urgency dominate our lives”
Managing time effectively requires a distinction between what is
important and what is urgent (MacKenzie, 1990).
Time Management Matrix:
URGENT, NOT URGENT, IMPORTANT AND NOT IMPORTANT.
(Covey, Merrill, and Merrill 1994)
Focusing on these important activities allows one to gain
greater control over time and possibly reduce the number of
important tasks that do become urgent.
8. One of the easiest ways to prioritize is “to do”
list.
daily, weekly or monthly.
Rank the items in order of priority (both
important and urgent). Such as high, medium and
low.
Number them in order, or use a color coding
system.
Keep in mind that the goal is not to mark off the
most items; rather is to mark off the highest
priority items (MacKenzie, 1990).
Having “to do” list allows saying “no” to
activities that may be interesting.

10. Using a personal planning tool does improve efficacy:
Electronic planners; Pocket diaries; Calendars; Computer
programs; Wall charts; Index cards and Notebooks.
Tips when using a planning tool:
Always record information on the tool itself.
Review the planning tool daily.
Carry planning tool with you.
Remember to keep a list of priorities in the planning tool
and refer to it often.
Synchronize electronic planners with computer and
recharge the batteries on a regular basis.
Keep a back-up system.
(Jotting notes elsewhere that have to be transferred later is inefficient).
12. Disorganization results in poor time
management.
Professional organizers recommend
that you first get rid of the clutter.
A frequently used method is to set up three boxes
labeled “Keep” – “Give Away” – “Toss.”
GIVE AWAY
KEEP
TOSS
13. 5 basic options for handling information:
Throw it away, delete it, or otherwise get rid of it.
Delegate it, give it to someone else to do, file, or
respond.
Act on it yourself.
File it temporarily until it needs action or until
additional information is received. (Follow-up a “tickler”
file can be useful for holding temporary information).
File it permanently where you can easily find it later.
(Dodd and Sundheim, 2005).
14. Even the busiest people find time for what they want to do and
feel is important.
Good scheduling requires yourself knowledge. Using time log, should
enable determining those times during the day when you are most
productive and alert.
Plan the most challenging tasks for when you have the most energy.
Try to limit scheduled time to about 3/4ths
of your day, leaving time for creative
activities such as planning, dreaming,
thinking, and reading. (Lakein, 1973)
“Block out time for your high priority activities first and protect that
time from interruptions”.

16. Delegation means assigning responsibility.
Identifying tasks that others can do
Selecting the appropriate person(s)
Select someone with the appropriate
skills, experience, interest, and
authority needed to accomplish the
task.
17. Be specific as possible in defining the task and your
expectations, but allow the person some freedom to
personalize the task.
Occasionally check to determine how well the person is
progressing and to provide any assistance, being careful not
to take over the responsibility.
Finally, reward the person for a job well done or make
suggestions for improvements if needed.
(Dodd and Sundheim 2005)
18. Putting off tasks can be done for a variety of
reasons.
Overwhelming or Unpleasant?
Try breaking down task into smaller segments that
require less time commitment and result in
specific but realistic deadlines.
Try building a reward system as you complete each
small segment of the task.
19. Your time may be impacted by external factors
imposed by other people and things. You can
decrease or eliminate time spent in these
activities by implementing some simple tips
listed below.
20. Use voice mail and set aside time to return calls.
Avoid small talk. Stay focused on the reason for
the call.
Stand up while you talk on the phone. You are
more likely to keep the conversation brief.
Take any necessary action immediately following
the call.
Set aside times of the day for receiving calls and
let others know when you are available.
Keep phone numbers readily available near the
telephone.
21. Establish blocks of time when you are
available for visits.
Tell the visitor politely that you cannot
meet with them at this time and schedule
the visit.
for a more convenient time.
Set a mutually agreeable time limit for
the visit.
When someone comes to the door, stand
up and have your meeting standing.
22. Know the purpose of the meeting in advance.
Arrive on time.
Start and end the meeting on time.
Prepare an agenda and stick to it. Use a
timed agenda, if necessary.
Don’t schedule meetings unless they are
necessary and have a specific purpose or
agenda.
23. Set aside a specific time to view and respond to your
mail and e-mail, but don’t let it
accumulate to the point that it becomes overwhelming
to sort.
Turn off instant messaging features on e-mail.
Handle each item only once, if possible. Practice the
options for dealing with clutter listed earlier.
Sort mail near a garbage can and delete junk e-mail
immediately from your electronic mailbox.
Answer written messages by responding on the margins
or bottom of the page.
24. Establish a master calendar for each family
member to post their time commitments.
Make each family member responsible for
consulting the master calendar for potential
conflicts.
Create a central area for posting
communications such as appointment reminders,
announcements, and messages.
25. We all have 168 hours per week

26. Recent psychological studies
have shown that multi-tasking
does not actually save time.
One loses time when switching
from one task to another,
resulting in a loss of productivity
(Rubinsteim, Meyer, and Evans, 2001).
Routine multi-tasking may lead
to difficulty in concentrating and
maintaining focus when needed.
27. The care and attention you give yourself is an
important investment of time.
Scheduling time to relax, or do nothing, can help
you rejuvenate both physically and mentally,
enabling you to accomplish tasks more quickly and
easily.
Learn to manage time according to your biological
clock by scheduling priority tasks during your peak
time of day, the time your energy level and
concentration are at their best.
28. How To Spend Your Time
Set Priorities
Use Planning Tools
Get Organized Schedule
Delegate
Stop Procrastinating
Manage External Time Wasters
Avoid Multitasking
Stay Healthy
29. Regardless of the time management strategies, take
time to evaluate how they worked for you.
Questions:
Do you have a healthy balance between work & home
life?
Are you accomplishing most important tasks in your
life?
Are you investing enough time in your own personal
wellbeing?
Successful time management can result in greater
personal happiness, greater accomplishments at work,
increased productivity, and a more satisfying future.

Editor's Notes
Finding a time management strategy that works best for you depends on your personality, ability to self motivate and level of self discipline. By incorporating some, or all of the ten strategies below, you can more effectively manage your time.
The 1st step is to know how your time is spent.
Identifying your most time-consuming tasks and determining whether you are investing your time in the most important activities can help you to determine a course of action.
While activities that are both urgent and important must be done, spending less time on activities that are not important (regardless of their urgency) in order to gain time to focus on activities that are not urgent but important.
Setting priorities is one of the main management functions of an organization. If the managers do not prioritize their tasks and organizational objectives, the organization will head towards the wrong direction and eventually collapse. Pareto Chart tool is one of the most effective tools that the management can use when it comes to identifying the facts needed for setting priorities. Pareto charts clearly illustrate the information in an organized and relative manner. Pareto charts are created based on the Pareto principle. The principle suggests that when a number of factors affect a situation, fewer factors will be accountable for the most of the affect. This is almost the same as 80/20 theory that you may have heard of. It says that 80% of the impact is made by 20% of causes.
Writing down your tasks, schedules, and memory joggers can free your mind to focus on your priorities. Auditory learners may prefer to dictate their thoughts instead. The key is to find one planning tool that works for you and use that tool consistently.
Implement a system that allows you to handle information only once. With the clutter gone, the next step is to implement a system that allows you to handle information (e.g., tasks, papers, e-mail, etc.) less, only once, when possible.
If you know you will have waiting time or commuting time, schedule small tasks such as writing a letter, jotting down a shopping list, reading or listening to educational audiotapes to capitalize on the time loss (Lakein, 1973).
Delegation begins by identifying tasks that others can do and selecting the appropriate person(s) to do them. Supervision and monitoring.
If you’re having trouble getting started, you may need to complete a preparatory task such as collecting materials or organizing your notes.
Poor time management can result in fatigue, moodiness, and more frequent illness. To reduce stress, you should reward yourself for a time
management success. Take time to recognize that you have accomplished a major task or challenge before moving on to the next activity.
