Why do we need time management?

• Time is limited• You can accomplish more with less effort• Improved decision making ability• Reduce stress• Free time is necessary

Know the difference

• Important activities have an outcome that leads to us achieving our goals, whether these are professional or personal.

• Urgent activities demand immediate attention, and are usually associated with achieving someone else's goals. They are often the ones we concentrate on and they demand attention because the consequences of not dealing with them are immediate.

So..• Answering the phone is urgent. If you don’t do it, the caller will ring

off, and you won’t know why they called. It may, however, be an automated voice telling you something not important at all.

• Going to the dentist regularly is important (or so we’re told). If you don’t, you may get gum disease, or other problems. But it’s not urgent. If you leave it too long, however, it may become urgent, because you may get toothache.

• Picking your children up from school is both urgent and important. If you are not there at the right time, they will be waiting in the playground or the classroom, worrying about where you are.

• Reading funny emails or checking Facebook is neither urgent nor important. So why is it the first thing that you do each day?

• No matter how powerless you may feel in the face of stress, you still have control over your lifestyle, thoughts, emotions, and the way you deal with problems.

• Stress management involves changing the stressful situation when you can, changing your reaction when you can’t.
