Each night, take fifteen minutes to set up your day for tomorrow. Use a PDA or planner to do this. Write down the tasks you need to complete and appointments. Use some sort of symbol to signify the items that absolutely have got to get done. Do those first the next day. If some of your lesser important items don't get complete, move them to the next day. In the morning, look at your tasks and appointments and make mental notes of what needs to get done that day. |

Well, there is one excellent way to budget your time and prevent putting activities off. The solution is to get an online calendar and put down what you are going to do that day, at what time you are going to do it, and how long it will take you to finish. I recommend you downloading this calendar software. It is free and reliable. The website is: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/ |

use a planer, make lists, cross items off the list, revise the list. You would be surprised how much gets done. |

Ok...I'm so happy you asked this question! I took a college success class my first semester of college and I was wondering the same thing, "How do I manage my time better?" So, in my textbook, there was an assignment we had to do. We had to write down everything we did in each day for a week. You don't have to do it minute-by-minute, but do it hour-by-hour. You just take that hour, and say...I did the laundry, finished my paperwork, and watched my favorite show all in one hour. You just write down everything you do. Then at the end of the week, you go over it and you'll be able to see where you are losing (aka WASTING) all of your time and where you need to spend more time at. It really helped me so that I could start balancing my time between things I had to do and things I wanted to do. |

desk calendars have saved me, everything is there in print. Also you can write in pencil the percent completion of a project in case you need to multi task. I soon might go to a digital palm or something, but I need to do more research what will stay ahead of the curve and be editable and transfer things like b-days, infos, and can be backed up easily. |

every morning write out a list of what you need to do and prioritise it from most important (needs to be done that day) to least important (can wait til the end of the week) then give each task a time limit and try to complete the task in that time... it only takes 5 minutes every morning and then you wont spend the rest of the day thinking about what to do next or trying to organise it.
At the end of the day have everything ready for the next day (paperwork etc) so you dont have to hunt it down when the time comes. |

get a planner, write down all your appointments in your appointment list, your to do items in another and make a column for you to take time to meditate, and take a breather, and go over your schedule, this will help physically and mentally, |

Buy a Franklin Covey day planer and take the course to learn how to manage your time. It got me on the right track. |

make a list of what you are doing the whole week.start by day to day.lets say monday=work + travel to work,9 hrs. then,chores,=2 hrs.eat,hygiene and miscellaneous, 4 hrs.cook or eat out,=1 hr.and add what else you are doing in everyday basis and write how much time you've been spending on each one of them.if you are over 24 hrs. a day means you have to figure out which one need to get done quick to lessen your time and get you closer until you have 24 hrs. in a day. |

my advice to you would be to prioritize. make sure you get done what has to be done, and do everything in order of importance. that way you can get the most done and get the most out of your day. good luck! |
