Forget about time management and focus on "Self Management"

You may smoothly shift to increased productivity, more work satisfaction, and better personal well-being by managing your life, responsibilities, and priorities properly.

Here are five strategies for achieving your best degree of self-management:

1. Don't try to multitask or juggle too many things at once. According to research, it can be harmful to our brains. You end up dividing your attention among several tasks, losing focus, reducing the quality of your work, and taking longer to complete your chores.
2. Start and end meetings on schedule, and avoid becoming sidetracked or allowing the agenda to be hijacked.
3. Set limits and say "no" to individuals when necessary to protect your important time.
4. Determine the times of day when you are most productive and devote your efforts to the most critical tasks during those times.
5. Be mindful of time-wasters such as guests stopping by your workstation to gossip, ineffective meetings and distracting phone calls, and anything else that breaks your state of flow.
