Time management:
1. Write down all of your tasks. Making a to-do list doesnt take
long, but saves your time later on.
2. Prioritize your tasks. If you cant complete all the things on
your to-do list, chose the most important ones and work with
them.
3. Delegate unimportant tasks. Focus on things that really need
your attention and delegate unimportant chores to others.
4. Deal with interruptions. E-mail, phone and Internet can be
very helpful, but they also distract you from your work. How
much time have you wasted surfing the Internet today?
5. Schedule time for yourself. Make sure that you take regular
breaks and get enough sleep.
