Time Management Strategies - Presentation (Personality Development)
1. TIME MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
The practice of using the time that you have
available in a useful and effective way, especially in
your work.
Cambridge Dictionary
Prepared by: Haseeb Alam
MBA (1st Year), Roll no: 14
2. CONTENT
THE STRATEGIES THAT REALLY WORKS
Know How You Spend Your Time
Set Priorities
Use a Planning Tool
Schedule Your Time Appropriately
Stop Procrastinating
3. KNOW HOW YOU SPEND YOUR TIME
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. In addition, having a
good sense of the amount of time required for routine tasks can
help you be more realistic in planning and estimating how much
time is available for other activities.
4. SET PRIORITIES
One of the easiest ways to prioritize is to make a "to do" list.
Whether you need a daily, weekly or monthly list depends on
your lifestyle. Just be careful not to allow the list-making to get
out of control and do not keep multiple lists at the same time.
Rank the items on your "to do" list in order of priority (both
important and urgent).
5. USE A PLANNING TOOL
Time management experts recommend using a personal planning
tool to improve your productivity. Examples of personal planning
tools include electronic planners, pocket diaries, calendars,
computer programs, wall charts, index cards and notebooks.
6. SCHEDULE YOUR TIME APPROPRIATELY
Even the busiest people find time for what they want to do and
feel is important. Scheduling is not just recording what you have
to do (e.g., meetings and appointments), it is also making a time
commitment to the things you want to do.
7. STOP PROCRASTINATING
You may be putting off tasks for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the
task seems overwhelming or unpleasant. Try breaking down the
task into smaller segments that require less time commitment and
result in specific, realistic deadlines. If you're having trouble getting
started, you may need to complete a preparatory task such as
collecting materials or organizing your notes. Also, try building in a
reward system as you complete each small segment of the task.
8. CONCLUSION
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.
