Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
It's important to schedule time for creativity/where nothing is planned.
I've learned a lot about how I should prioritize my daily tasks and not to feel guilty or overwhelmed if they're not all completed in one day. I tend to stay late and that's not conducive to my work/life balance. I've also learned how to use my time wisely when I'm in a slump and not to push through resulting in poor results or wasted time.
Using peak times for critical thinking work, and valleys for digital decluttering and routine work can help with time management. Also, it is important to set goals and prioritize them. Logging in long hours or continuously doing busy work does not equal productivity.
Keeping distractions to a minimum and keeping my auditory stims to classical music or other "non-lyrical" musical compositions will help me stay focused
Time management is ongoing.
Find where you waste most of your time and figure out ways to manage your time better.
Time management is a very crucial tool for administrators, something that I'm continuing to work on even though I've been in administration for many years. It's a work in progress and something that is continually changing.
I learned about the importance of time management strategies. I plan to block of various times to complete priority tasks. This will allow me to use my time better and increase my effectiveness and efficiency.
I plan on trying to use timeboxing, stop multitasking, and work in contingency plans. I think by using timeboxing that will help keep me on tasks for my larger goals. Additionally, I plan to write out the biggest goals I need to achieve each day so they can remain the top priority.
how important time management is and how to effectively use my time
Time management is one of the things that can have the biggest impact on productivity. It is important to prioritize, block off time, and utilize your peaks and valleys.
I've learned the importance of balancing flexibility with routine. It is good to form certain habits like making time to reflect and prioritize health. However, it is also needed to use what is noticed in the reflection to be able to make changes to what needs to be completed and when.
Blocking time for important tasks is effective
Time management is important to productivity
I learned a great deal that can benefit both work and home life. I had always fancied myself a GREAT multi-tasker, but I know now that that is a negative rather than a positive in my productivity.
I have learned that without time management many projects or set goals are difficult to accomplish. There are many was to set your time if you are a morning person or a night owl. But if you work in an office use the time wisely.
I will continue to work to make my time at work more productive so have away time as relaxing time. A balance is needed.
I really appreciated all of the 2-3 minute videos detailing specifics of time management. My biggest takeaway was the video where 3 keys were discussed when you realize you are putting off a task.
I have learned important concepts which will improve my efficiency going forward.
