5 Rules to Manage Your Schedule
IT’S ABOUT TIME!
Professional organizers can help with time management. Here are our five favourite rules to manage your schedule, tame your to-do list and GET PRODUCTIVE.
1- Write it down. Trying to keep it all in your head contributes to chaos and causes headaches!
2- Prepare the night before. We waste SO much time running around every morning! Gather necessary items, lay out your clothes, and set the timer on your coffeepot before you go to bed.
3- Remind yourself. If note-making is not your style, record verbal notes on your phone or leave yourself a voice mail message.
4- Make allowances. Some tasks that you THINK will take fewer than five minutes will probably take twice as long. It is also a good idea to plan for an alternate route to appointments in case of traffic delays. Always allow yourself extra time!
5- Just say NO! Don’t say YES to everyone asking for something. If you find it almost impossible to say NO, set aside time each week for these extra requests. Say NO once that slot of time is filled.
