How Is Time Management Important In The Workplace?

by

Leonardo Da Vinci once said ‘Time stays long enough for those who use it.’ Time is considered the most valuable resource because it is limited and everyone gets the same number of hours in a day. But some people utilize their time more efficiently than others. This is primarily due to enhanced performance through effective time management. Time management impacts performance and efficiency at work. Not only will it make employee efficiency better but will also help to meet deadlines and deliver improved work quality.

Time management plays a major role for companies to prioritize tasks and attain goals faster. With an effective time management plan, organizations can take on new opportunities for sustainable growth. To achieve goals with less effort, it is essential to improve time management. And if you have poor time management at work, it can result in work-life imbalance, unwanted stress, and missed deadlines,  not to mention a poor professional reputation and the resulting diminished financial prospects.

Seeking to Succeed? 14 Ways to Get an Edge in the Business World

No matter what field you are in there are some basic strategies that can help you succeed in life. Here are 14 things you can do to improve your chances for a successful life.

Set Smart Goals

If you’re really serious about succeeding in the business sector, make sure that you take the time to set goals. These goals will empower you to stay organized and focused on the specific objectives that you’re trying to accomplish through your career. Remember that without a clear plan, you can wind up wandering around in circles without completing any real business-building work that establishes you in your field. Note that the goals you set could be anything from qualifying for a promotion to meeting a specific sales goal. When you set goals, make sure that they are SMART:

  • Specific
  • Measurable
  • Attainable
  • Realistic
  • Time-Specific

Manage Your Time

In today’s society we have so many “time-saving” devices… we no longer have to spend hours going to the well to carry a bucket of water (although in some places in the world this is still a problem), we can just turn on a faucet. We don’t have to hand scrub the laundry, we have a machine to do that. We don’t have to go to the library we have the internet to learn anything. But with all these time saving devices we have many time-wasting devices… like the internet, online games, facebook, etc. The key to success is to use your time wisely. You only have so many hours… and days and years.  Don’t waste them. Don’t let the time leeches steal your hours and days learn to manage your time wisely. The average person only spends 20% of their time doing the things that will help you get ahead and 80% of your time is “busy work”. Learn to avoid the “busy work” and focus on the important stuff  and you will be miles ahead. Imagine if you could shift just 10% from the 80 column to the 20 column. You would be 50% more productive than the average person… that is a major advantage!
