If you are not able to manage your time well you are most likely under control of other forces in your life. If you do not plan your life, somebody else will make you a part of their plan. Some of us are fine with that arrangement, but some of us need to get better at time management to enjoy life more.
One of the keys to time management is to start small. Understand this correctly, it is important to create the big picture, your vision in life. The things that you value the most. How else are you going to prioritize and make the choices that are vital to efficient time management?
But…when I say start small I mean start planning your day. Plan it the night before. For example make a list of your top 6 priorities for the next day and then do it. When you have got that skill down (and what a great feeling it is) go ahead and start planning your week also. And when you have that down your month, and then your quarter, then half-a-year and then your year.
Start small, go big, so you do not get overwhelmed in your time management efforts.
