Whether you're working on a project alone or in a team, good time management habits will help you stay organized, prioritized, and productive. The following time management tips will be valuable in your personal life as well as in the workplace:
-
Define the goals of your project.
Ask yourself questions to help define your goals: What needs to be accomplished? What is the deadline for accomplishing these goals?
-
Create and organize your to-do lists.
List each task that needs to be accomplished. Once you've written down everything you can think of, organize the list in order of priority.
-
Prioritize your workday.
Start each day by analyzing proper priority of completion—in other words, you should figure out which tasks need to be completed and in what order. What should be taken care of right away, and what can wait until later? This way, you won't be scrambling to meet a deadline at the last minute.
