Real Time Management
Real Time Management
Effective Time Management starts with a willingness to do something different.
Like the saying goes, if we keep doing what we're doing, we'll get more of what we've got.
So first off, look at your patterns of behaviour and ways of working. Is it helping you strike a balance between getting both the little things done and the important things that need to be taken care of? If not, what changes are you willing to make?
They could be small changes: things like saying no (in the kindest way possible of course!); having a good think about what's important and needs planning for, versus what can be "fitted in" around bigger tasks. Or how about making a list of all the ways you already manage pressure well and commit yourself to doing more of that? After all, if it works, why fix it?
Either way, the things you decide to change could fall along the wayside without one very important factor�taking yourself seriously.
You are just as important as anyone who has demands on your time. Letting them know that in a way that feels comfortable for you can be the lynchpin in kicking off a virtuous cycle.
As you start to communicate to others that they can't take advantage of you without consequences; you'll begin to experience time management differently and have a more positive reaction to pressure. It'll literally start to change the way you see yourself and the tasks in your life.
Creating this virtuous cycle isn't as hard as it might seem.
Being better at managing your time simply means starting to unpick some of the emotional stuff that drives you and finding ways to recognise your patterns.
Change those patterns and the world starts changing around you.
