BENEFITS OF TIME MANAGEMENT
Stress relief
• Making and following a task schedule reduces anxiety. As you check off items on your “to-
do” list, you can see that you are making tangible progress. 
• This helps you avoid feeling stressed out with worry about whether you’re getting things 
done.

TIPS FOR TIME MANAGEMENT
Create a time audit
• Start by finding out where you're actually spending your time. Often there is a discrepancy 
between what you think is taking up your time and what actually is. This is because humans 
are bad at knowing how long tasks take.

Set achievable goals and prioritize your tasks
• If you've got too much to do, no amount of time management will help you accomplish it all. 
Now that you've created a time audit, you'll be able to see if you simply need to better 
manage your time or if you've got too much on your plate.

Create a daily plan or to-do list
• This can be made in either the first block of your workday or the last few minutes. Use 
either of those chunks of time to create a daily to-do list. 
• When you're creating your to-do list, make sure to keep it simple. Seeing a half-done lists 
day after day can be disheartening.

Put a time limit on tasks
• Tasks expand to fill the time they're given, or so argues Parkinson's law. If you give a task 
two hours rather than one, the amount of work you need to do to accomplish the task will 
simply expand to fill the full two hours.
• Set a time constraint on those tasks. By setting constraints you will improve your focus and 
work more efficiently.
