Topic > Good Time Management: An Introduction to Fun…

Introduction“This time, like all times, is very good, if only we know what to do with it” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.Time management is the skill to use your time effectively or productively, especially at work. (Oxford Dictionary). Good time management is essential for success in everything we do in our daily lives. Planning time before doing work allows us to get more work done in a shorter time and allows us to do more things more efficiently. For example, studying at college and universities often involves homework and homework due dates, so in order to meet the demands of our studies, we need to plan ahead and spread out our workload. To-Do Lists The first step to good time management is knowing what you are doing. they must finish in a certain period of time. Do you always find yourself missing deadlines or always forgetting to do something important? This means you need to have a proper to-do list to track your progress. To-do lists are lists of all the tasks you need to do, the most important tasks are written at the top of the list, and the less important tasks are written at the bottom. By having a to-do list, make sure you write down all your tasks in one place so you don't have to waste time searching for your lists or leave out important tasks. To prepare my to-do list, I write a list of tasks I need to complete on paper in a simpler and easier to read way. If it's a very large task, I'll break it down into a few sections so I don't miss the small details of the task. I will then go through the tasks by assigning priorities from A (very important, very urgent) to F (not important, not urgent). Once you're done, rewrite the list in order of priority. Complete property tasks A first, then B, C, and so on. To feel good... halfway through the paper... more homework than you think you can do. Reference • "Programming". Dictionary.com Unabridged.
