Successful Time Management & Healthy Lifestyle

How many times we didn’t accomplish something we planned to because of our poor time management skills. It happened to me so many times, and it seriously made me think of the ways to change it. Since I finished  6 classes last semester with A’s, while working full time job, I know that there is nothing that can stop you in achieving your goals. Stress and fear of failure are something that can take control of your life if you allow it. That can easily be avoided if your time management skills are your biggest strength. Fear of failure is something that we try to fight every single day.  I will share my tips on how to organize your time, and manage to efficiently complete all the tasks.

1.       Buy a planner- It was so hard for me to get used to writing all the tasks that I need to complete in my planner, but I managed to do it. Everything is much easier when you know what is due on every day of the week. That’s the first thing that we need to know. Because, how can we organize our time if we don’t know what are the tasks that need to be completed, and when are they due. You should already know at the beginning of each week what is going to be your daily task and goal.

2.       Be organized- Clean your desk, and have your papers organized. This is how you save time. It will take you much longer to finish your tasks if you don’t know where your papers and assignments are.

3.       Don’t procrastinate- I used to do this when I started going to college. I learned not to do it in a harder way. If you procrastinate, the tasks will only add up and it will be much harder for you to complete them all.

4.       Prioritize- We have to realize what is really important in life and what isn’t.

5.       Goal setting- Set your goals high

6.       Treat yourself- When you accomplish all the goals you’ve set for the week, have some “ME” time. Go get a massage, or go shopping. This will relax you and motivate you even more.

Hard work pays off!

Remember, your goals should always be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time specific. They also have to be dream-driven, uplifting, method-friendly and behavior-driven. Procrastinating means putting heavier load on your back, and when that happens, stress and anxiety will take over. Trust me, everything is doable and achievable if you plan and organize accordingly. There is nothing that makes me happier, than when I go to bed knowing that I finished all of my errands and assignments for the day. Follow the rules, and the success is promised!
