March 12th, 2011 | Chip | Uncategorized

We all procrastinate from time to time. Procrastination is usually harmless in small doses. For some this can be the difference between a productive work day and not getting the right things done in a work day. Usually this just means you need some help developing a focused time management plan. You might be surprised to learn that eve you can learn good time management skills. Cut down on your distractions and work hard to develop your skills. Read on for some great time management tips that you can use to help increase your focus and productivity.

Now, sit and write out your goals list. Keep a written list closeby if you decide to write this list on the computer in a word document. Doing this will make you feel like you can get back on track when you feel your focus start to wander. You will be more likely to spend less time browsing the internet or staring off into space if you have a focused list to guide you. Handwriting your goals has a more permanent feel than simply typing them into a word document which can easily be erased. These goals can be big and small. So why not write them down.

Have a structure for your day, your week and your month. If you have an eight hour work day, plan that out to include things like “returning e-mail” time and “weekly conference call” and even “take a break!” It will be easier to get into good time habits if your days are well structured. You will be able to train yourself to be more productive during specific times of the day. It does take diligence on your part. Your schedule will soon become second nature.

Don’t forget to give yourself rewards! Give yourself an incentive to stay on -or ahead of- schedule by having a treat on the other side. We are naturally more productive when we know that we will be rewarded when we’re done. Come up with a reward that’s appropriate for you. It doesn’t really matter what the reward is, as long as it provides you with an incentive to get the job done. While there is some satisfaction in simply completing a task, having a reward waiting for you gives you a good reason to finish the task. When there is no reward, there is little drive to keep drudging away at your day to day schedule. Rewards keep things interesting and fun. You’re more productive if you’re having fun. You can’t become a time management expert overnight. Procrastination seems to be part of human nature if we don’t work to overcome it. There are so many ways we can get diverted. We’ve all looked at the clock and realized that the day has been wasted. Just keep moving forward as much as possible. At first change is always hard, but it becomes easier if you persist. Soon you will find that you are getting more tasks completed than ever before. It will be so natural that it won’t require any thought. Then you will be the one others come to for advice on time management.
