Time management is not necessarily working “harder,” but rather, “smarter.” Here are five time management mistakes we should all avoid to increase our daily success both on and off the job. 1. Starting your day without a plan of action. Time management is doing the right things initially. 2. Losing balance in your life. Our lives comprise seven vital areas that need balance. These areas include health, family, financial, intellectual, social, professional, and spiritual. 3. Working with a messy desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one-and-a-half hours per day looking for things or being distracted by things. 4. Getting insufficient sleep. Studies show that nearly 75 per cent of us complain on a regular basis that we are tired. 5. Giving up a lunch break. Many do not take a lunch break. Studies have shown that after doing what we do for several hours, we start to “dull out.” A lunch break, even a short 15-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries charged up again to more effectively handle. Bottom line: Prioritise! End your day with a list of things to do tomorrow. Ensure they are in order of importance and timeliness.
