The only problem is, many times it's not as easy as in the Chicken Licken ad... we unfortunately can't simply give the time management monkey-monster a spicy chicken wing and hope it will be satisfied. Time management takes more effort than that and it's is something truly worth investing in if you want to take your career, business or any area of your life forward. The results of effective time management will ultimately lead to the perfect work-life balance which, I think we can all agree, is what we continuously strive for.
According to a time management article on Entrepreneur, there are only three ways to spend time: thoughts, conversations and actions. Regardless of the type of business you own, your work will be composed of those three items.
"As an entrepreneur, you may be frequently interrupted or pulled in different directions. While you cannot eliminate interruptions, you do get a say on how much time you will spend on them and how much time you will spend on the thoughts, conversations and actions that will lead you to success," the article states.
Here is a compilation of some top time management tips to consider to make 2014 your best year yet:
Prioritise and categorise your list into Home, Work, Personal etc. This way, you will see more effective results. I use a great app called Wunderlist which automatically syncs with my smartphone, PC and iPad - an absolute winner for organising and prioritising.
The easiest thing to do is to push back deadlines and procrastinate. Avoid this at all cost. Rather set the deadline a few days earlier to make sure you get things done before the actual deadline.
And finally, just for fun, have a look at this TED video from Nigel Marsh on how to make work-life balance work.
