The Art of Time Management

A Letts diary will help you manage your time. Use it to record appointments, contacts, notes, plans and lists, and refer to it regularly throughout each day.

Take a look at how you spend your time: write a log of everything you do and when you do it over the course of an average week. The log will help you identify time wasting or unimportant activities.
Identify your priorities: know what you want to achieve, what you enjoy doing and what you have to do. This information will give you a framework to work within and will help you decide what you can and can't take on.
Divide and sub-divide your priorities into a series of tasks: achieving each task will bring you closer to reaching your aims.
Prepare a 'to do' list to bring together all tasks in one place: use it to prioritise and identify the most important ones. Make time to carry out these tasks, finding a balance between boring and enjoyable jobs.
A 'to do' list is an aide-memoire; it could be rewritten daily if tasks are completed quickly, or it could be something that is much more long-term and is worked through gradually.
Concentrate on actually doing things: a lot of effort can be spent appearing to be busy or reacting to things that are happening around you.
