Effective Management Techniques
                     EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT 
TECHNIQUES
PLAN YOUR DAY IN ADVANCE
• Planning is the first, the best, and most proven of all time 
management techniques. Firstly, because it helps to properly 
organize your work. Secondly, because it gives you a detailed 
insight into all the things you need to do. If you can plan your 
daily, weekly, or monthly tasks, the rest comes easily.

BE INTENTIONAL: KEEP A TO-
DO LIST
• Drawing up a to-do list might not seem like a groundbreaking 
technique, but it’s one of the most powerful ways to become 
more productive. The best to-do lists include a variety of tasks: 
quick and urgent jobs that might be completed in 10 minutes 
and bigger, operational tasks that are a work in progress.

BE PRIORITIZED: RANK YOUR 
TASKS
• If writing a to-do list is the first step towards better time 
management, prioritizing your tasks is the next. It guides you 
through the day’s activities in order of importance, ensuring that 
the tasks that matter most are dealt with first.

DISTRACTIONS

notifications to talkative colleagues—and the very human 
problem of procrastination actually sitting down and getting 
things done is almost always harder than it should be.

BE STRUCTURED: TIME 
BLOCK YOUR WORK
• A structured schedule is crucial for actually delivering what you 
set yourself. It helps you protect space for your work and sets a 
healthy pressure to actually complete it. 
• Time blocking is one of the most productive ways of doing this, 
as it prevents one task from overtaking your entire day and 
stops you from multi-tasking.

BE SELF-AWARE: TRACK 
YOUR TIME
• Ultimately, you can’t improve how you use your time, without 
understanding how you actually use it in the first place. 
• Tracking your time is elementary here it provides the insight and 
self-awareness to make effective changes, surfacing hidden time 
drains, highlighting inefficient processes and laying out your 
productive patterns.

LEARN TO SAY NO
• While it’s great to be a team player, it’s also important to know 
when and how to be assertive and let people know you can’t 
handle their request at the moment if it conflicts with you 
achieving your goals. 
• If you do agree to take on the task, negotiate a deadline that 
helps them achieve their goals without sacrificing your own.

GET ORGANIZED 
• In order to effectively manage your time and be productive each 
day, you have to create the right environment. 
• Eliminate useless clutter, set up an effective filing system, have 
a nearby place for all of the work items you need frequently, and 
utilize workflow management tools to help you create a 
productive environment.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH
• A good night’s sleep, healthy eating, and exercise will give you 
the energy, focus, and stamina required to make the most out of 
your day. It may seem that work is more important and you can 
always catch up on sleep, food, and exercise later.
