Time Management Tips for Better Productivity.

1. Set Clear Goals

o Define your short-term and long-term goals. Use the SMART method (Specific,
Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) to make them clear and
actionable.

o Example: Instead of "I want to get in shape," set a goal like "Go to the gym three
times a week for the next month."

2. Prioritize Tasks

o Use the Eisenhower Matrix to classify tasks into four categories:

▪ Urgent & Important: Do these immediately.

▪ Important but Not Urgent: Schedule these for later.

▪ Urgent but Not Important: Delegate these.

▪ Neither: Eliminate them.

3. Time Blocking

o Allocate specific blocks of time for each task. Treat these blocks as
appointments to ensure focus and discipline.

o For example, reserve 9–11 AM for deep work and 2–3 PM for emails or meetings.

4. Avoid Multitasking

o Focus on one task at a time. Studies show multitasking reduces efficiency and
increases errors.

5. Use the Pomodoro Technique

o Work for 25 minutes on a task, then take a 5-minute break. After four cycles, take
a longer 15–30 minute break.

6. Eliminate Distractions

o Keep your workspace tidy.

o Turn off unnecessary notifications.

o Use apps like Focus@Will or Freedom to stay distraction-free.

7. Learn to Say No

o Overcommitting leads to burnout. Politely decline tasks that don't align with your
goals.

8. Review Your Day

o Spend 5–10 minutes at the end of the day evaluating what went well and what
didn’t. Adjust your plans accordingly for tomorrow.

9. Leverage Tools
o Use tools like Notion, Trello, or Todoist for task management.

o Google Calendar is great for scheduling and reminders.

10. Take Care of Yourself

o Sleep, eat well, and exercise. Productivity starts with a healthy body and mind.
