REFLECTION ABOUT TIME MANAGEMENT

Effective time management skills increase your focus and productivity. They also
reduce distractions and procrastination. Taking control of your time through good time
management increases your productivity. It also helps you get more of your important
work done simply and easily. Time management is the strategy of planning out your
available time and controlling the amount of time you spend on specific tasks in order to
work more efficiently. Effective time management comes easier to some people than to
others, but everyone can develop habits to improve their time management skills.
Without strong time management, your work and wellbeing can suffer, and it can lead to
missing deadlines, increasing your stress levels, ruining your work life balance and
producing poor quality work.

If you properly schedule the time needed to complete your work, you’ll be able to hit
your deadlines every time. You’ll be able to work more efficiently to achieve more with
less time. In order to manage your time, you should plan ahead. Planning out your time
in advance is the most important element of good time management. When you
manage your time properly and successfully meet your deadlines, you’ll feel a sense of
accomplishment and confidence in your abilities. Consistently finishing your daily to-do
list is a huge motivator that can drive people to further improve their time management
skills and take on new work opportunities. Time management is a very crucial
component if you are willing to have a productive lifestyle. To be honest, I have always
had issues with managing my time efficiently. This problem had become a huge
obstacle once I got into college. Thus, attending a lecture that focuses on time
management helped me a lot with this problem by introducing me to different aspects
related to time management: planning, SMART goals, and important/urgent matrix.
