Create a to-do list
Your to-do list can lead to better time management for a few reasons. Firstly, it allows you to organise jobs and prioritise them, so you can focus on the most important tasks first and avoid wasting time on those less important.
Secondly, it gives a clear overview of what needs to be done, helping you plan your time more effectively. By knowing what tasks are on your list, you can plan your time and avoid double-booking yourself or forgetting important tasks.
Thirdly, a to-do list helps you stay focused and getting side-tracked. It just makes it easier to resist distractions and stay spotlights what needs to be done.
Finally, as you complete tasks on your list, you can cross them off or mark as done, which gives you a sense of achievement and encourage you to keep working!
Use a planner or calendar to schedule your time
Using a planner or calendar to schedule your time helps to provide an overview of your commitments and deadlines. Recording your appointments, customer meetings or any other notable events you easily see what you’ve planned for the day and avoid missing important engagements.
Additionally, it helps you prioritize tasks and plan time more effectively. Use your planner or calendar to schedule blocks of time for specific tasks, so helping you stay organised, focused, and ensuring that you’re using your time efficiently.
Finally, using a planner or calendar helps you stay accountable and on track with your goals. By regularly reviewing it, you can ensure that you’re making progress towards your targets and make any necessary adjustments to your schedule.
This helps you stay motivated and on track, avoiding falling behind.

Set specific goals for each day
Setting goals helps you focus on what needs to be carried out – so avoiding wasting time on things that aren’t important. It helps you figure out what needs to be done and prioritised, so you stay focused and avoid getting distracted by less important tasks.
Setting specific goals also helps you track your progress and stay motivated. When you have clear goals in front of you, it’s easier to see how much you’ve achieved, so giving a sense of accomplishment and encouraging you to keep working towards your targets.
Finally, setting goals can help you stay organised and avoid becoming overwhelmed. Try breaking down your goals into smaller, more manageable tasks. This way you can avoid feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work you’ve to do.
Stay focused and productive, even when you have a lot on your plate!
Take regular breaks
Taking breaks allows you to recharge and refocus your attention. This helps to prevent burnout and fatigue, which make it difficult to concentrate and be productive.
When you take a break, try to step away from your work and do something relaxing, like taking a walk or getting some fresh air. This helps to clear your mind and improve your overall mental state, making it easier to tackle your tasks when you return to work.
Additionally, taking regular breaks also helps to prevent dithering, as time away makes you break-up your work into smaller, more manageable chunks. This makes it easier to stay on track and avoid getting overwhelmed by your work.
