What is the 3 3 3 method for managing time?
I have a good friend who is a time management expert.
She has helped me manage my time in the past, but now that I am pregnant, she feels like she has to show me the new 3 3 method.
This friend of mine told me she believes in the 3 3 method as a way to manage time. She believes that by using a calendar and noting down when you have time available to yourself, you can more easily manage your time. This is where she feels the 3 3 method becomes useful. By only scheduling appointments when you know you have the time to meet with someone, you can more easily manage your time.
This is a perfect example of how I use the 3 3 method. I know that when I am not at work, I have about 3 hours to myself, every day. I schedule meetings for this time, so that I can get work done. In addition, I have to keep myself in the dark about what other people are doing so that I don't lose any time or miss anything. I schedule calls with friends and family members for this time, so that I can get work done.
However, I am not sure how I would handle the time between 9:00 am and 12:00 noon. There is nothing scheduled for that time every day. I have no idea when I will have time available for things like exercise, eating lunch, or napping. I know that if I do nothing for this time, I will get nothing done. I know that if I start working one project, another project will get in the way. If I start working one project, another project will get in the way.
So, I try to schedule an hour a week, every week, for this time. I know I will be able to get more work done if I manage my time well. If I cannot spend the whole hour, I spend half an hour. If I can spend the whole hour, I spend the full hour.
The best thing is, I know that at some point, I will have to put away my schedule, because I will be pregnant. So, when I am not pregnant, I try to keep my schedule close.
Now, the problem with scheduling your time is that you may need to take into account things like birthdays, holidays, vacations, special occasions, parties, concerts, and so on.
What are the 4 P's of time management?
Every time you're tempted to delay or procrastinate the following should occur in your head.
1) Present your current performance. If you are going through a situation where you're getting away from what you were doing earlier and don't feel like you're productive, ask yourself why and what can be improved. Don't just keep blaming someone else or "it's them not me". Look at what you can control.
2) Produce a result. You might be asking me if I'm saying that there's no results in life without effort, that it's easy? You need to apply effort to get a result, yes. You might also need to use creativity, which is actually effort too. That means that sometimes it takes some effort to do something even if you have to find a solution. So if you get to a point in life where everything is effortless, it would mean you're doing it wrong. There are so many opportunities and places for success in life that you need to do things right in order to get there and be seen by others as a success.
3) Put your past performance in perspective. It doesn't matter if you had the best ever performance but if you don't know the context of it. You may just think of yourself as successful. I read a story of this kid once in the newspaper. He was the number 1 athlete in his high school. He became so proud of that achievement. On the other hand, he was a drug addict who used drugs and stole. He couldn't even go to class because he was always hooked on drugs. However, after 5 years of rehabilitation, he ended up as a success. We may never understand his story, but we can at least be aware that it exists.
4) Predict the results of your next decision. Most of us end up thinking of our current situation before planning the future, which often means ending up not having a single idea how we'd spend today. In this kind of frame of mind, we fail to produce any result. Instead of thinking about that, be aware that the answer to this question is the most important one. It determines your future. Don't let others hinder you to have an opportunity or to reach a certain level in your life.
Good luck!
What are 7 tips in time management?
Hi everyone, I'm new here.
I'm trying to take some action now on time management. I'm afraid of it because of the fact that I can't stop myself from checking the email (I also have the problem of staying up late at night).
In short, I think these 7 tips would be really great. Can you please tell me which one suits best for you? And sorry if I post a question in a wrong section. It's my first time here.
In case any of them does not match you, at least give me your general ideas and what things could be improved in general. Thank you! If I don't do things, it's never over. If I don't finish things, they'll still haunt me. Stephen King
It's ok! I know what you mean by having a terrible problem with time. But since you're a beginner on here, I'd recommend the two tips I use. Firstly, make a list of everything you need to do and then break it down into smaller chunks. I do this often, but usually for writing because I need to write about 20 times a day. I just do it during the day so I can check as I go along to make sure everything is done.
Secondly, I always have a day set aside for 'catching up'. I call it my 'to do' days and I'll just work a few hours in a day to get through all of my to dos. I find it works so much better.
Another tip is to always schedule your time off, particularly over weekends. I don't want to be at work every single day. Even if I do get home at 8pm, I feel refreshed after a weekend off. It definitely makes a difference.
Also, find some good apps. The ones I use are "Time Manager" and "Focus." Time manager is the only one I've found that is free. Focus has a lot of other useful features and is worth paying for. It is really the only app I've used that has helped me stop checking email. The feature is called Focus Plus, and it says to simply turn the checker off or put it in a different mode where you only check once every 30 minutes instead of every 10 minutes.
I'll be curious to see how this goes for you.
What are the 5 keys to time management?
Time is one of the most precious gifts we receive from God, but it can also be the biggest challenge to many of us.
The simple reason? It's finite and there are only 24 hours in a day. How many of us have gone through the daily routine where our alarm clock goes off at 6am and we wake up an hour or two later, then sit down for the first cup of coffee before going back to bed because another day has begun! Have you ever had an overzealous schedule where you run around like a madman until the late evening, leaving barely enough time for bed? Some of you may have even gone through periods when you were struggling to manage your time well. I personally have struggled with how to make my life more balanced throughout my 20's and 30's. As a matter of fact, I had a period of almost two years where I was constantly anxious that I would fail at my career, but thankfully God intervened and showed me how to live. With what are you currently experiencing when it comes to balancing your schedule well? What were the key moments in your life that helped you better understand how to manage your time? I look back at the moment that changed my life and helped me gain this gift called time management. I think we should all do a similar exercise and ask God to lead you in that direction. In retrospect, what were the 5 keys to your time management as a child?
1) Understand God's priorities. My father raised four children and worked a full time job. We grew up with a great feeling of responsibility and we knew how important God's priorities were. For my mother, who used to take care of us children after school, the most important priority was Jesus' calling in the gospel. If we are faithful in obeying what God wants us to do, then there would be little left for mom to handle. She gave priority to spending time reading the Bible and praying.
With a clear understanding of our purpose in life, we would take good care of ourselves. The other children were given a similar training. My sister took charge of her own home affairs. My brother took care of himself. We were taught to have no shame if we failed to meet our responsibilities, but rather try our best to make things right.
