We’ve formatted it with some simple gridlines and color. This is fairly simple, down the left we’re going to enter the hours that we’re tracking (in our example 5am through to 22:00 hrs.)Īcross the top we’re going to enter the days we’re tracking – we’re going to put the full 7 days here (although you could go Monday to Friday if you’re just tracking your work-life). Ok so the first things we’re going to do is to create the table to store our data. We’re going to create our Time Management Chart using Excel (if you’re just after the table itself (which you can write down your data)- you can download the PDF here) There are a couple of formats you can use for time management charts and we’ll give you two examples!!
In this article we’re going to show you how to build your own Time Management Chart together with a time management worksheet that will help populate it. We use tools, and that’s where the time management chart comes in. Ok so obviously answer (b) will add more to our lives? But how do we do that? We will not allow ourselves to be distracted and will spend our time doing things that enhance our lives. We’ll focus our activities around key tasks. We’ll divide our day into segments that focus on the key things that we need to get done. We’ll let others dictate what we should do (whether or not it meets our own personal goals) and allow ourselves to waste time on things that don’t enhance our lives.ī) We’ll have an active (and prioritised) to do list. Which of these do you think is best practice?Ī) We’ll use our emails to drive our activities working from the latest ones that arrive. That’s where time management tools fit in. The result of this are that we don’t achieve our goals. just 10 more minutes of Youtube/Instagram – honest!!) However, if we don’t have a system then two things can happenġ/ We end up becoming reactionary to the job that shouts the loudest, the latest email to arrive in our inbox or the colleague that comes to our desk wanting help.Ģ/ We end up getting distracted by things that we shouldn’t be doing in favour of things we should (i.e. The very task of prioritising, organizing, planning your time around your goals and activities can seem a mountain to climb. Let’s face it, with all the pressures we face whether that’s in our work or home life, managing our time can be hard.
