7 Ways To Best Manage Your Time

Time management can get tricky. Life gets busy sometimes and leaves us feeling as though we will never have enough time to get everything done. However, there is genuine hope and with these tips, you may feel as though you can take on anything within reason.

1. Plan ahead

Giphy

Your brain may be looking on this, but it will be worth it when you plan ahead. Figure out what is coming up and make note of it as soon as possible. Plan how you are going to tackle these tasks!

2. Make a list or several lists

Giphy

This is not what your list should look like! Make a list or a few organized lists that have what you need to get done and when you are going to do it.

3. Take breaks (even if they're scheduled)

Giphy

Take a deep breath and watch that show you've been dying to see. Breaks are needed in order to reach success.

4. Don't overcommit

Giphy

It happens to the best of us, but try your best to avoid it!

5. Prioritize 

Giphy

This one can be tough. If you're pressed for time, think about what is most important and try to get that done first.

6. Limit distractions

If you're tempted to do this, put your phone on the other side of the room!

7. Learn to say "no"

It's ok to put yourself or something else first sometimes.
