The way we manage our time defines the person we are and endows us with capabilities that allow us to develop and achieve our goals.
As Peter Drucker said at some point:
"The key to any person's success is the way they manage their time, it is the most important resource, and who does not know how to manage it, does not know anything"
Many times we waste our time without realizing it for different reasons, such as:
- Constant interruptions.
- Phone calls.
- Useless meetings.
- Unexpected visits, among others.
But the main cause of bad time management is, ourselves, with our habits and how to use it.
Therefore, an important first step is to define priorities in our day-to-day activities in order to know which activities are more important than others and which are more urgent. After having clear this classification, you can resort to a time management strategy such as the Eisenhower matrix method where 4 essential cases are defined and depending on the case in which the activity is found, you can define how to proceed:
Case 1: If the activity is important and urgent -> Do it now
Case 2: If the activity is important but not urgent -> Decided when to do it
Case 3: if the activity is not important but urgent -> Delegate it
Case 4: if the activity is not important and it is not urgent -> Dump it
Finally, this strategy can be put into practice at all levels of life: personal, professional and academic.
