e.g. H, M, L, N or A, B, C, D, E or 1,2,3,4,5 ... what ever you want, you can define your own proirity criteria , where for example H, A or 1 stands for “Very important or High priority and so on
Good time management means identifying what's most important.
The3 rules of effective time management:Don't work when frustrated or angry; put feelings on a list and calm down. Don't worry or feel guilty; put problems on a list, unwind and plan for today. Don't look back and regret past actions; put them on a list, relax and look ahead. Don't get sick and blow your schedule; think positive, eat, sleep and exercise.
Distractions: How to handle distractions.Do you get sidetracked by TV, telephone, friends, sports, boredom, daydreaming? Do you procrastinate? The best way to not do something is to avoid it. Find a place to study where there is no TV or telephone. Try a library or study hall.
The most productive three minutes you'll ever spend.Preview and review. Before lecture, preview the book. After lecture, review your notes. When you have three spare minutes, review your summary sheets.
Here's my point of view for that question Sir Rabat, actually sir it depends if how the person manage their priorities, coz there is always a schedule to that so called TIME and also depends on how to deal with all the priorities you're dealing with.
Sometimes we have to asked ourselves first why and what were going to do to manage where to start making a effective time and think about the efficient techniques so that we can settle or setup our first and foremost PRIORITIES. Thank you for another challenging question that's really helps me a lot to see some things that I have to acquire and move along towards to my journey of searching for a good and efficiently job for me. Have a nice day sir.

The best method for setting priorities on your list, once you have determined your major goals or objectives, is the A-B-C-D-E method. You place one of those letters in the margin before each of the tasks on your list before you begin.
“A” stands for “very important;” something you must do. There can be serious negative consequences if you don’t do it.
“B” stands for “important;” something you should do. This is not as important as your ‘A’ tasks. There are only minor negative consequences if it is not completed.
“C” stands for things that are “nice to do;” but which are not as important as ‘A’ or ‘B,’ tasks. There are no negative consequences for not completing it.
“D” stands for “delegate.” You can assign this task to someone else who can do the job instead of you.
“E” stands for “eliminate, whenever possible.” You should eliminate every single activity you possibly can, to free up your time.
When you use the A-B-C-D-E method, you can very easily sort out what is important and unimportant. This then will focus your time and attention on those items on your list that are most essential for you to do.

The best technique is forget the 'snooze' button and get out of bed on time. If you get up late you will be playing catch-up all day.
the best method is by seting priorities in three groups:
daily
weekly
monthly
I always look for the sample and accurate way , by make (( To Do List )) in order to know first whats need to be finished , then you can work on it .
I'm still using the good old Priority Matrix.
I agree with Clodelio, priority matrix is a time tested and effective method for prioritizing your tasks.
