TIME MANAGEMENT

 

TIME MANAGEMENT

  HAVE a clear idea of what you want to do with the day.  Map out a definite programme.

 

Know what you like doing with your leisure.  Have definite hobbies and interests and develop them.

 

Plan your work.  Organise it before you start.  Get each stage clear in your mind so that you cut out inessentials.

 

Fix a time-limit for each job and do your best to complete it within that time.

 

Learn to do things the right way --- with ease, speed, and efficiency.  Never be afraid of asking to be shown.  Watch people who know how.  Take lessons if necessary

 

Eliminate all unnecessary movement.  Have your tools and materials ready before you begin where you can reach them without having to get up and walk around.

 

Try to do something useful with odd minutes like those spent waiting for buses or trains.  For example, plan your next job.  Test your memory.  Check on your reactions to people.

 

Go to bed at a reasonable hour so that you do not oversleep or want to lie in bed next morning.

 

Be punctual about appointments.  If you are late, you may have to wait or even find that it is a wasted journey.

 

Talking to people is nice, but it can become a vice that eats up your time to no purpose.  Keep it under control.
