Time is one of the most precious yet limited resources on our planet. No matter who you are you only get so much of it, and there’s no amount of bargaining or money in the world that can help you get back any time that was lost or acquire more once yours is up. However, there are several time management hacks you can use to maximize your time and optimize your life so that you are making the most of every moment in life.
Don’t Be Afraid to Be a Little Selfish
Since you only have so much time and you likely want to divide it up according to what is most important to you, you can’t be afraid to take control and let others know that your time needs to be spent certain ways. If you allow yourself to be pulled in too many different directions by employers, friends, and family, it will only make it harder for you to get anything done at all. Just keep in mind that flexibility is also important, the key is balance.
Invest in a Datebook, Planner, or Calendar
It can be a physical book that you carry around with you, or an app on one of your devices, but having an organized and updatable list to help you stay on top of what you need to do each day can be a real time-saver. If you’re a busy person and you sometimes find that you forget things easily, this is a great solution to help you always stay on task and not waste any time in between.
Figure Out What’s Most Important to You
If every second counts, then you need to make sure you spend at least a little time figuring out what your biggest priorities are and focusing on how work toward achieving you goals every day. If your biggest priority is professional success, time some time every day to think about ways to advance your career. If it’s family, set some time aside each day to hang out with your kids or have a date night with your spouse.
Learn to Delegate
If you have more things to do than you know will ever get done, never be afraid to pass the baton to someone else. Sure you might feel a little tinge of worry over whether it will get done correctly or not, but chances are the person you trust will take care of things just fine and you will be better off for it – especially if you use all that newfound free time to accomplish other important tasks!
