Time runs outs and cannot be renewed, so each person starts
their day off the same with the same number of hours to work with. You may want
more time to work with, but what you need to work on is your time management
skills. You need to know when you are the most productive, where your time is
spent, and how you can avoid distractions. Here are a few tips on time
management for your employment
in Forest Grove, OR.
1. Keep track of your time.
One of the most important time management skills is knowing
where your time is being spent. Employees work more today than they ever have
with an average of 8.5 hours worked each weekday and an average of 5.4 hours on
weekend days. Now is the time to work smarter, not harder. A great way to keep
track of your time is by making a timesheet. See how long it takes you to complete
each task and what times you started and finished. Time tracking will help you
understand where wasted time exists, so you can start to eliminate wasted time
for more productivity.
2. Find your most productive moments.
You may be a morning person or a night person, and tasks
will work the same way. Usually, a person functions best in the morning when
their brain is the sharpest and most alert. The morning is the perfect time to
complete tasks that take a lot of analysis and logic. The afternoon is the
worst time of the day for the brain to function.
Each person is different though. Some people are at their
highest productivity in the morning while other people work better in the
afternoon during everyone else’s midday slump. There are also those people who
are night owls and work best at night while everyone else is asleep. Find out
which time of the day is best for you and your productivity and adjust your
work schedule to that.
3. Try your best to avoid distractions.
Stress, anxiety, and overworking all lead to a drop in
productivity and how we complete our tasks at work. These things can be from
not protecting the free time you have. Distractions can have the same effect.
People will walk up and interrupt your work to ask you questions. Hillsboro
staffing solutions explain that interrupting will cause you to forget what
you were doing, and you will have a hard time getting back on track with your
train of thought. Try to let your colleagues know to message you in the work
chat or send you an email instead of walking up to your work area and starting
to talk.
