Do you wish you had more time? Are you constantly needing more time? If this sounds like you, learning some effective techniques in time management can increase the quality of your life. Use your time efficiently with the help of these tips.

Keep a diary of how you are spending your time. Do this for about 3 days. You will be able to see what you are spending time on. You can then determine what is necessary to spend time doing and what isn't necessary. Figure out how to manage your time better.

Try using the calendar feature on your cell phone to manage your time. Since most people carry their cell phones with them at all times, you will always have your schedule with you. This will help you improve your life because you will never miss another appointment or important date.

In order to become a master of time management, you need to keep both the short- and the long-term in mind. Although it may feel more productive to concentrate on one task exclusively until it's complete, weigh that feeling against the bigger picture. If you're putting off major jobs in order to finish minor ones, you may be wasting a great deal of time!

If you have a very large task that you are facing, break it up into smaller parts. Create a list of everything that it will take to get the project completed. Once you have the list to work with, use the deadline and create a calendar that includes what you need to get done each day to ensure it is completed in time.

Try to avoid answering the phone or e-mails just because they ring or appear. If you can, try disabling or disconnecting instant messaging. You don't need to instantly give people attention unless it's essential to the instant human response aspect of your business. You should try scheduling time for returning calls and answering emails.

These tips should get you started on the right foot. They should improve your skills as a time manager. Time is not something you should waste. When you use time wisely, you're able to accomplish more.
