Procrastination is not laziness, so it can be solved. Professional recommendations that work

The fact is that our mental time passes a little faster as we age.. Therefore, we should learn how to manage/organize it. We only have 24 hours a day, and that too only theoretically. In practice, we operate within a horizon of approximately 14 hours. Time management plays a very important role in our lives., even though we don't realize it.

The path to success

Time management is the process of planning and following up. We need to estimate in advance how much time a certain activity will take up so that we can manage multiple activities during the day. Effective and detailed planning of the day reduces stress, encourages productivity, and leads to career growth.

Basically we are talking about making a conscious effort to spend a certain amount of time actively performing a task. Productivity is therefore the main goal. Of course, balance is important. Work or school should be interspersed with social life, including hobbies.

What do we learn when we are young...

Time management should be learned in college. From an academic perspective, it is extremely important for students. The overwhelming number of subjects, lack of money, little social life, and upcoming exams must be balanced with effective "time management". Optimizing time allows students to become more confident and organized. They practically prepare for "adult" life.

Time management brings other benefits besides reducing stress, encouraging productivity and pursuing success. If it seems to us that we do not have enough free time, then with planning we can create it. People who manage their time effectively suddenly have more of it, they can devote themselves to their hobbies. Proper time management leads to new opportunities and to reduce procrastination. The ability to prioritize and schedule work is extremely welcome in future employment.

Tips for effective time management

Having considered the benefits of time management, let's look at a few ways to manage time effectively. We should set goals that are achievable, measurable, specific, and relevant. Let's prioritize tasks according to importance and urgency:

      • Important and urgent: Tasks need to be done now!
      • Important, but not urgent: We will set a deadline in advance for when we will do them.
      • It's not urgent and it's not important: We'll put them off until later.

In addition to setting priorities, we should not forget to set a time frame for carrying out activities. In practice, it looks like this: if we have to write four term papers for school and we have a set deadline for submission at the end of the month, we will arrange our time so that we can get everything done. We must be critical when planning. Optimism won't make us masters. Therefore, if we know that one seminar paper will cut 6 days out of our lives, we will adapt all our time to it.

Breaks are important. It is very difficult to stay focused and motivated for long periods of time. That is why we should take breaks between tasks to clear our heads and refresh ourselves. Walking, short naps, or meditation are suitable.

A diary would be useless this year, but if we have a positive relationship with electronics, a calendar could be useful for long-term time management. Writing down the deadlines and tasks that we have before our eyes every day can move us forward. We should also reconsider redundant activities and tasks. We should especially think about: who and what deserves our time.

Finally, we should have a clear idea of what we need to do each day. It might also help to create a habit - at the end of each workday, we write a list of tasks that we need to complete for the next day.

We study the disadvantages of time management in novices who divide tasks incorrectly, or are overmotivated and forget to think critically. Ultimately, they fail to meet their goals for a given day and start postponing tasks until later.
