Time management: master your daily workload in five steps
Set priorities:
The aim is to recognize what is really important and what can perhaps stay there longer.
In this way, the workforce can be deployed in a more targeted manner.
In order to achieve this, employees should maintain to-do lists on which they record what is urgent, what is important and what is desirable.
The order on the to-do list should then also be adhered to.
Structure tasks:
If you structure tasks, you can also manage large projects better in the end.
To this end, employees should create manageable work packages and define sub-goals.
Delegating tasks is also important.
Ultimately, large projects lose their horror, partial successes provide motivation along the way.
Avoid interruptions:
Better results with less use of resources: You can do this by paying attention to your own biorhythm.
For example, are you more concentrated in the morning than in the afternoon?
It also helps remove distractions from the workplace.
For example, by switching off the smartphone or closing the door in the home office.
By the way, this popular mistake is wasting your time every day and making you unproductive.
Plan breaks:
Regular recovery is essential to reduce stress.
It is best to set fixed break times for yourself and take short breaks of five minutes every now and then.
This promotes the ability to concentrate and helps to avoid mistakes.
Keeping an overview:
In order to ensure high productivity in the long term, it is important not to lose sight of the long-term perspective.
Priorities should be reviewed from time to time.
In the end, this provides orientation for everyone and reduces conflicts in the team.
