Improve Your Time-managing Skills
It is common for all of us to take more tasks than our desired potential. This can often result in stress and
tiredness. Learn the art of sharing work with your partners based on their skills and abilities.
Before the start of the day, make a list of tasks that need your immediate attention as unimportant tasks can
consume much of your precious time. Some tasks need to be completed on that day only while other unimportant
tasks could be carried forward to next day. In short, prioritize your tasks to focus on those that are more
important.
Carry a planner or notebook with you and list all the tasks that come to your mind. Make a simple “To Do”
list before the start of the day, prioritize the tasks, and make sure that they are attainable. To better manage your
time-management skills, you may think of making 3 lists: work, home, and personal.
Stress often occurs when we accept more work than our ability. The result is that our body starts feeling tired
which can affect our productivity. Instead, share tasks with your partners and make sure to leave some time for
relaxation.
Most of the successful men and women have one thing in common. They start their day early as it gives
them time to sit, think, and plan their day. When you get up early, you are more calm, creative, and clear-headed.
As the day progresses, your energy levels start going down, which affects your productivity and your
performance as well.

Why Do We Use Time-Management Skills?
It is important that you develop effective strategies for managing your time to balance the conflicting demands of time for
study, leisure, and work. Time-management skills are valuable not only in job-hunting, but also in many other aspects of
life: from revising for examinations to working in a vacation job.
Sometimes it may seem that there isn't enough time to do everything that you need to. This can lead to a build-up of stress.
When revising for examinations, or during your final year when you have to combine the pressures of intensive study with
finding time to apply for jobs, good management of your time can be particularly important. Once we have identified ways
in which we can improve the management of our time, we can begin to adjust our routines and patterns of behaviour to
reduce any time-related stress in our lives.
Some of these skills include setting clear goals, breaking your goals down into several steps, and reviewing your progress
towards your goals.
Other skills involved include prioritising - focusing on urgent and important tasks rather than those that are trivial or
don't move you towards your goals; organising your work schedule; list making to remind you of what you need
to do.
