I will go over a method of Time management practices you can implement as soon as possible. If it doesn't work for you, it might encourage you to create your own Time management practice.

Time Blocking

Time Blocking is a practice many do to know what to do at all times without the feeling of not knowing what to do next, which I know many are well known with.

How is it done:

1. Sitting down or standing, whichever you prefer, and writing all the tasks you will need to get done for the day, week, month, or however far you want to time block.

2. Once you have the tasks, you will want to add a start and stop time for each task, when you plan on starting and finishing the task or stopping without finishing it.

   1. This will give you what is called the deadline effect, which tells your brain to get it done before the time is up.

3. And then you follow what is now your time blocking; not the hardest thing, but it will help drastically! 

- Setting Goals -

Setting Goals might sound like something most should already know. Still, you would be surprised how many don't use setting Goals within their Organization.

Something so simple as Setting Goals can still be forgotten.

But once implemented, it can make a world of difference!

Correctly setting Goals isn't just saying you're going to be rich one day or you're going to get this task done.

Correctly setting Goals is breaking down the steps needed to Get to that big goal of getting your tasks done. 

For example, Your goal might be to finish an essay or report for work or school. That's the end goal; now, what are the steps to get that done?
