What is proper time management in the company? This question has as many answers as people work in the company. It is about organizing work time in a way that allows them to manage everything they handle, arise or interfere with their workday.
The great enemies of time management in the company are dispersion and procrastination. The dispersion, several issues are started and none are finished, involves a double effort and an overload of pending tasks. Procrastination, leaving for tomorrow what can be solved today, means trying again and again the papers that accumulate on the table without being able to finish what we must resolve.
The great ally of effective time management is planning, that is, what should I do, when and what do I need to do it. Each work session will be more fruitful if it is planned (it should always be closed with a review of what was done during the day and what has been pending). Knowing how to prioritize is the second great ally. The planning done "carefully" the day before may be ruined when various issues or people raise new problems or needs that have not been taken into account until now. It is important to be clear that not everything is urgent; and that this concept is clearly relative depending on who raises the urgency. In general, urgency tends to be caused by poor management of our time and / or poor prioritization: not everything can be urgent. If time management and prioritization is good, perhaps it is time to review the resources we dedicate to each task, as there may be overwork. Finally, what is urgent does not have to be what is important and vice versa.
