Efficiency Strategy #1: Egg Timer
Earlier in the year, I struggled with managing my time. My time management woes caused me to oversleep, overburden myself, and be late for appointments. More importantly, I wasn’t feeling productive at the end of each day. Instead of accomplishing the many things that I needed to, I would often get caught up in one thing and not be able to get everything done. I needed a quick and easy strategy to make sure I wasn’t overworking myself or causing myself to be lazy. I began to formulate a strategy to allot myself certain amounts of time to do various tasks, whether it is school work, website updates, or reading. In order to do this and to keep to my goal, I purchased a simple egg timer from Target. For each item that I need to complete, I set the egg timer for a certain amount of time and once the timer goes off, I immediately stop what I am doing and move onto the next item. This strategy has allowed me to get more done in a day and to feel as if I am progressing, not standing still. If you’re having time management problems or are overworking yourself to the point of exhaustion, consider using an egg timer to keep track of time and accomplish a lot more with your day.
UPDATE: As per a reader’s suggestion, here is a link to purchase an egg timer.
