Time Management module_2

Setting SMART Goals:

*S*pecific: Define your goal clearly and precisely. Avoid vague statements.

*M*easurable: Set criteria to track your progress. How will you know when you’ve achieved the goal?

 *A*chievable: Ensure that the goal is realistic and attainable given your resources and constraints.

*R*elevant: Align the goal with your overall objectives and priorities.

*T*ime-bound: Set a deadline for achieving the goal.

Structuring Your Day Effectively:

Prioritize Tasks: Start your day by identifying the most important tasks. Use the Eisenhower Matrix to categorize them based on urgency and importance.

Time Blocking: Allocate specific time blocks for different activities. For example, designate 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM for focused work, 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM for emails, and so on.

Breaks: Schedule short breaks (e.g., 5 minutes every hour) to recharge and maintain focus.

Batch Similar Tasks: Group similar tasks together (e.g., responding to emails, making phone calls) to minimize context switching.

Review and Adjust: Reflect on your day—what worked well and what didn’t. Adjust your plan for tomorrow accordingly.
