Hi

So that we can manage the time and we can invest it effectively you must do the following : 1_oatt all the time is right until the end of the supplement for not branching out more than the task at the same time until you feel accomplishment 2_ always a sense of power and lack of frustration from the lack of achievement as decided in advance, but Mark this incentive to force the next day 3_mn important to know what are the things you want to achieve in your business, and determine the near-term goals , and other far-reaching. 4_la postpone today's work to tomorrow , You Do not Know Why will happen tomorrow might be worse , and perhaps vice versa , and with knowledge of what are your conditions for the next day .

I cannot agree with Raja that time management cannot be trained. While he is correct that being disciplined and committed are key requirements in any job, it is not the case that knowing how to prioritize tasks and time is somehow ingrained in all employees. Whether the employee is low down the organizational hierarchy or a member of the C Management team, some will have the innate gift of time management and others will not. So 1) having an awareness of Stephen Covey's 'Time Management Planning Square' in terms of dividing tasks into high/low priority/importance and then inserting daily tasks into the appropriate quadrant, 2) understanding and applying Locke's 'Goal Setting Theory', 3) understanding the Japanese 5S methodology to effectively arrange the workplace environment in order to manage time effectively, 4) completing self-evaluation questionnaires to concretize how effectively one manages one's time, and 5) dealing with procrastination, interruptions and distractions etc are very trainable activities.

Time management is a myth.  Having said that, you are in- charge for your career and being disciplines and adhereing to committment is an expectation from every professional.  I have not seen any company that trains people on the job on time management -they would just have someone each the course and that is it.  This is reality. How you prioritize your work, how you priotize between work and home, How you execute on your deliverables - all requires attention.  Do not take in more than you can chew. Working smarter (better said than done) is always better than working better.  If you are stressed out due to lack of time, your productivity decreases.  Hence it is upto an individual to manage his own time for his own success. No company gives you projects on time management - it is all real life results that they evaluate from you.

Specific steps: (per task)

The simplest way is for upper management to be well on time, in the morning, stay late, meet appointments and do not waste time in idle chatter. It is a surprise how quick people learn and adopt. See how well Pepsi works in the Middle East, while Unilever not so much!

time management , is one of the most essential part in human day to day activities, companies train people , in time management as follows,

1) giving a assigned work , and asking the employees to complete it, in a span of time.

2) if they don't complete the work, the promotional activities , of the employer, will come down.

3) taking too much leave, is avoided.

Make sure that you hire people who understand your mission, vision,

Make sure the right leadership is in place to ensure deadlines are being met.

If employees aren’t making deadlines or making good use of their time, implement an action plan to correct the problem

Minimize meetings

Make use of your to-do list

Based on the 70-20-10 principle 70% of learning is achieved on the job through engagement on job assignments and tasks. Where 20% is learning from internal learning tools and manuals (like e-learning or direct coaching by subject matter experts), and 10% through training courses. Do clearly the case is clear for learning through on-the-job tasks. So, engaging employees who are poor in time management directly with assignments that are project management based (I.e, having clear task-based schedule with deadlines, and reporting activities) can groom any professional in time management. Project management methodology can do wonders for this competency.
