How To Manage Your Time Better
These days, it can be difficult to find time for even the smallest of tasks. People are always busy, and that stressful lifestyle can lead to all sorts of problems. 31 You only need to follow these steps. Make the most of it
32 For example, if you have to take a day off from work to receive a delivery(快递) at home, arrange the refrigerator repairman that you’ve been putting off to repair your fridge. The more you can check off your to-do list at once, the better. 33
Don’t try to please everyone by accepting every invitation for dinner or drinks. Politely refuse requests for your time if they disturb precious family time or a work project you must finish. It will feel even better to reward yourself after you’ve completed several tasks.
Review your calendar
At the end of every month, take a look at your calendar. Take note of when you fell behind schedule and what days went smoothly from the previous month. Then decide how many activities, meetings, and appointments you are really able to manage in the future. 34
Have self-awareness
35 Schedule your most difficult tasks for those times to make sure you will be active and awake for your toughest challenges. At the same time, stay healthy and smile everyday!
A. Just say no B. Avoid excuses.
C. Try to kill two birds with one stone.
D. Determine when you are at your best and brightest each day. E. Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today.
F. Instead of living each day in a mess, today I’ll let you know how to manage your time better.
G. Once you do this, you’ll get to learn about yourself and plan your next schedule with confidence.
