Time Management

The purpose of this paper is to find out how we can get the most of our time. Time is a Ѓglimited economic resourceЃh (Oshagbemi, Titus (1995). Management development and managersЃЊ use of their time. Journal of Management Development, 14 (8), 19-34. Retrieved January 12, 2006, from Ohiolink database) and the way we spend it will affect our productivity and impact our future success. Successful people are very efficient in term of using their time, so Ѓgdecisions about spending time should be made as carefully as decisions about spending moneyЃh (Oshagbemi). In this paper, I will try to discuss different techniques which can help you to save time and manage your time in more efficient way.

LifeЃfs goals make life more suitable and more enjoyable, and without these goals there is no mean for the time, and no mean for the life. Time management exists only when you have existing goals with different levels of priority. By having these priorities in mind, you need to study the benefit of your daily activities and how these activities lead you to achieve your goals. Any activity doesnЃft help you to accomplish your goals should be removed from your schedule. When either personal goals or their levels of priority change, it becomes a must to review your pattern of spending time and make the necessary changes in your time management.

Successful people always develop and improve skills that lead to more efficient use of their time. ЃgFor example, effective delegation and supervisory skills would be advantageous in making the manager a more effective user of timeЃh (Oshagbemi, Titus (1995). Management development and managersЃЊ use of their time. Journal of Management Development, 14 (8), 19-34. Retrieved January 12, 2006, from Ohiolink database). Also, if you know how to use information technology systems most likely you can increase the efficiency of your activities as exchanging and processing routine information. In addition, training and development of people who can help you in the process of achieving your goals can reduce your follow up time, and will leave you with free time can be used in something else (Oshagbemi).

One of the most important skills you must have in time management is the ability to handle high stress situations. You need to master how to stop the side effects of your failure from impacting your plans and consuming your valuable time. You must have a high desire to make your failure a forward step towards your success. ЃgIndeed, studies of managerial learning experiences indicate that surviving setbacks or failure can be a particularly valuable experienceЃh (Reuber, Rebecca (1997).
