There are a lot of time management tips out there. Just Google “Time Management” and you’ll get about 10,720,000,000 results. That’s a lot of material to have to wade through. One great way is to log your time.
You won’t know where you are being inefficient with your day if you don’t know where your time goes. Try this – for a week – write down everything you do in 15 minute increments, this includes evenings and weekends. This will give you insights as to where you spent too much time talking to a colleague, on social media or actually working!
