Current user<\/strong> Where is your mind?\u00a0Is it focused on the task at hand?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has forever overturned the way people do work. While many companies will no doubt recall their employees to their offices at some point in the future, others have\u00a0 discovered and embraced the benefits of WFH\u00a0(<\/strong> (working from home), such as easier access to workers with highly specialised skills, less absenteeism, lower overhead costs, and so on. And employees, too, are enjoying this commute-free way of working, with more comfortable and personalised surroundings, less money spent on clothing for and transport to the office, lunches out and snacks, and more control over their time. These, and many other benefits, add up to a healthier bottom line for companies, and employees who are happier and more motivated\u2026 potentially a win-win situation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest obstacles to making this new paradigm work for both sides of the coin is\u00a0 effective time management<\/strong>. We all know that the internet is rife with distractions of every type, along with our own personal distractions, such as emails and social media. At the end of the workday, it\u2019s easy to preguntarse<\/strong> wonder\u00a0where the time has gone<\/strong> and why so little on the to-do list has been ticked. With the rigidity of the former 9-to-5 schedule gone (and the boss no longer looking over our shoulders), sharpening\u00a0 <\/strong>(or developing for the first time)\u00a0 our time management skills<\/strong> is sure to be beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When considering how to effectively manage our working time (which, if done well, will go far to ensure that our personal time will remain sacrosanct),<\/strong>), it\u2019s helpful to look at our current habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you fill your agenda with\u00a0\u00a0tasks that help others\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 perhaps requests from colleagues, or offers of assistance from you \u2013 instead of focusing on what you need to accomplish? Are you a multi-tasker who spends a lot of time putting out fires, with\u00a0at least 10 tasks on your agenda<\/strong>at least two of which you are handing at any given moment? Related to this is the worker who\u00a0\u00a0miscalculates how long a task will take<\/strong> and is forever trying to play catch-up. Or perhaps you feel you work better under pressure, so you put your own tasks off<\/strong>\u00a0until it\u2019s almost too late\u00a0Are you\u00a0easily distracted<\/strong>\u00a0d spend 20 minutes trying to fulfil it, only to lose sight of your own goals? Maybe you\u2019re that over-diligent worker who is\u00a0\u00a0unable to finish a task<\/strong>\u00a0because the outcome is never up to your standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a Time\u00a0<\/strong> Martyr<\/strong>, un Firefighter<\/strong>, un Underestimator<\/strong>, un Procastinator<\/strong>, Distractor<\/strong> or Perfectionist<\/strong>don\u2019t worry; there\u2019s hope for you. You can learn to overcome these time-killing and energy-draining habits that reduce your productivity and increase your stress. By using time management skills, you can learn to manage your time<\/strong> o that you can keep your boss happy and keep stress to a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most useful and well-established time management tools is to set\u00a0SMART (Specific, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound) goals. Other important ways to manage your time include\u00a0setting priorities\u00a0and conscientiously\u00a0avoiding distractions\u00a0to getting them done,\u00a0clarifying objectives, and\u00a0delegating tasks\u00a0as needed and appropriate. Don\u2019t pressure yourself\u00a0to make a quick start. It\u2019s essential to have your\u00a0tasks and resources defined\u00a0in order to make a clear plan that will help you to deliver your. If, however, you\u2019re a slow starter (procrastinator), don\u2019t wait to\u00a0identify the causes of your procrastination\u00a0and tackle them; you will be glad you did. Instead of multi-tasking,\u00a0single-task; you can focus on one task at a time, thereby delivering better quality and end results and reducing stress.\u00a0Manage your stress\u00a0with the stress-relieving strategies of your choice (yoga, exercise, walks in nature, meditation, listening to or playing music, etc.) and\u00a0remember to say \u201cNo\u201d\u00a0when needed. And, lastly and above all,\u00a0be kind to yourself and to others. No one is perfect, and in this\u00a0brave new world, we all still have\u00a0a lot to learn.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
