Finding How I can improve my Time Management Skills

Putting into Practice what I have Learned about Time Management from the Internet

Time is increasingly becoming short because of the increasing demands of what is needed to be done within a limited period. What I am required to do is to decide which tasks need to be prioritized, and complete them first. Then work on others according to when they are needed. By doing that, I will do my tasks in a systematic way and without being overwhelmed. What I will need to do to achieve that is to value the technique of doing work in an organized manner. I will also need to come up with a plan that will have all the work scheduled according to their deadlines as shown by Table 1 below. Every time new jobs emerge, I will review my plan of work to accommodate the new jobs as illustrated by Table 2 below. The important things I will consider in my plan is to allocate enough break times in between working hours but not to relax excessively (Christie, Kent, & Green, 2012; Adams, n.d)

Priority	Task	Deadline
1	Task 1	Day 1
2	Task 2	Day 2
3	Task 3	Day 7
4	Task 4	Day 9
