Do you start and finish every day as if you had no control of your time? Does everything in life seem to run together like a big blur? If you answered yes to these questions then you may want to start investing time management techniques into your schedule. It has been said that time management, properly set up as daily goals, can dramatically improve the quality of life and increase the amount of work that gets done.
One of the key components of time management is organizing all of the compartments that exist in your life. By taking on the task of one component at a time, you can start today to get your life in an orderly fashion and take back control of both your time and your schedule.
The easiest way to start organizing your life is by merging items that can be merged and trashing the things that are simply taking up space. Remember that another habit of people with good time management skills is to take on one task at a time, with focus, until that task is finished and before moving on with the next one. The same holds true when it comes to merging and purging your life's “compartments”. So where should you start first?
Below are a few tips that can help you with organizing for better time management:
1. Organizing your travel information: Create a file holder that is designated to hold all material that is related to travel. This material may include hotel information and air fares, a list of your frequent flier miles, personal and family passports, contact numbers for local taxi services, and all previous vacation traveling files. You can also keep such information on your computer hard drive so that you can print out travel details for upcoming business or personal trips.
2. Organizing important service-type information: You can do the same type of file storage for your key service providers such as your vehicle records, personal banking records, business banking records, insurance receipts, credit card information, etc. In most cases it does not take much time at all to purge this paperwork. And if it all sounds like a lot of work to do, then fear not, because once you are finished, your time efficiency will rise to new heights for all future file organizing.
3. Organizing your car: One very important area in our life that is often overlooked when it comes to time management and organization is our car. The inside of our vehicles, especially if we are always on the go, can literally become a black hole of important papers, files, and notes. We tend to store our most important items in the glove compartment and while this is ok, what is not ok is all of the other junk that goes in there with it. Clear out the clutter, merge existing paperwork, and purge anything that does not need to be there.
