Time management is a scientific approach to organizing time and increasing the effect of its use. People who know how to efficiently manage their own time reserves live a more full and full life do their work with minimal time costs. Managing your time, we have more living space: it becomes more realistic to engage in what we really like. However, the six principles of time management are as followed:

Principle 1. Plan your actions

Planning for the next day (or next week) is of practical importance in any work. It does not matter if you are sitting in the office, standing at the conveyor, you work as a courier in your free time – a clear plan of action will always bring real benefits in the form of increased effectiveness (personal and professional).

Principle 2. Formulate the desired result in specific goals and objectives

Strategic and effective planning is impossible without competent goal-setting. In a simpler language, you must be able to clearly articulate the main goal and be able to break it into more specific and local tasks.

Principle 3. Commit your action plan

The need to always fix the action plan has already been mentioned above. Here we will consider how this is best done. There are several working and effective tools to make your plans and tasks more visible and specific.

Principle 4. Prioritize

Timely and clearly identify the main goal – this is necessary and correct. But the main task is to move towards this goal, consistently performing the current tasks of varying degrees of difficulty.

Principle 5. Focus on the main

Ability to focus on the main, without being distracted by an outsider, is the most important practical skill, having mastered that, you will solve the most priority tasks of productive time management.

Principle 6. Analyze your experience and create your own time management rules

Periodically it is worth looking back and making pragmatic conclusions from your experience of time management. Study your mistakes and take measures to correct them.

Be sure to analyze the situations in which you are particularly intensively losing personal resources.
