1 Set SMART goals

One of the first steps to improve your time management skills is to set SMART goals. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. These criteria help you define what you want to accomplish, how you will measure your progress, whether your goal is realistic, how it aligns with your priorities, and when you will complete it. By setting SMART goals, you can focus on the most important tasks and avoid distractions.

Una vez establecidos los objetivos, hay que establecer prioridades, no podemos llegar a todo. Una vez realizado el chek list deberíamos definir una clasificación en base a unos criterios, si son: 1- Fundamentales. 2- Relevantes. 3- Accesorios. Nos puede también a discriminar y establecer una prelacion de los objetivos que nos marcamos.

Empieza priorizando tareas según su urgencia e importancia. Organiza tu día o semana con un plan detallado, utilizando herramientas como agendas o aplicaciones. Establece plazos realistas y utiliza la Técnica Pomodoro para dividir el trabajo en bloques manejables, alternando con breves descansos. Minimiza distracciones apagando notificaciones y designando tiempos específicos para revisar correos o redes sociales. Delega tareas cuando sea posible. Revisa diariamente tu progreso y ajusta tu planificación según sea necesario. Sé flexible ante imprevistos y mantén un equilibrio saludable entre trabajo y descanso para evitar el agotamiento. Desarrolla rutinas consistentes para estructurar mejor tu tiempo y aumentar la productividad.

2 Plan your work

Once you have your SMART goals, you need to plan your work. Planning helps you organize your tasks, allocate your resources, and anticipate potential challenges. You can use various tools and methods to plan your work, such as calendars, to-do lists, project management software, or the Eisenhower matrix. The Eisenhower matrix is a simple way to prioritize your tasks based on their urgency and importance. You can divide your tasks into four categories: do, delegate, schedule, or eliminate.

Some of my favorite planning tools when writing reports or for project management are Notion and TickTick. I use Notion as a better alternative to Evernote - the database system allows you to add tags, organizing your tasks with as many categorizations as you like - while keeping an overview over everything. TickTick allows me to check off tasks quickly for that dopamine hit, and also allows me to sort the tasks using the Eisenhower matrix!

3 Avoid procrastination

Procrastination is one of the biggest enemies of time management. It means delaying or avoiding tasks that you should do now. Procrastination can have many causes, such as fear of failure, lack of motivation, boredom, or perfectionism. To overcome procrastination, you need to identify why you are putting off your tasks and take action to overcome the barriers. Some strategies to avoid procrastination are: breaking down large tasks into smaller ones, setting deadlines and rewards, eliminating distractions, and using positive affirmations.

My favorite way of beating procrastination (especially when the task is long and boring) is the simple pomodoro technique - and you don’t even need a tomato for it! Just set a timer for 10 minutes, and tell yourself to focus on your task at hand ONLY until the timer rings. Then, no matter what, you’ll stop and go back to doing funner things. More often than not, once I get going I manage to get quite a bit of the task done well past the timer ringing - I guess it’s the power of inertia. But even if not- you have 10 minutes less of the task to finish whenever you choose to set the timer again.

4 Delegate and outsource

Another way to improve your time management skills is to delegate and outsource some of your tasks. Delegating means assigning tasks to someone else who has the skills and authority to do them. Outsourcing means hiring someone outside your organization to do tasks that are not part of your core competencies. Delegating and outsourcing can help you free up your time, focus on your strengths, and leverage the expertise of others. However, you need to be clear about the expectations, outcomes, and feedback of the tasks you delegate or outsource.

I think delegating and outsourcing can be highly effective strategies for improving time management skills, especially when faced with tight deadlines. By entrusting tasks to others who are capable and qualified, you can alleviate your workload and focus on higher-priority responsibilities.For example, when I was struggling to meet deadlines, I realized that I was spending too much time on administrative tasks that could be delegated.This allowed me to dedicate more time to the critical aspects of the project, resulting in improved productivity and meeting deadlines more effectively.

5 Review and improve

Finally, you need to review and improve your time management skills regularly. Reviewing helps you evaluate your performance, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and learn from your mistakes. Improving helps you adjust your goals, plans, and strategies based on your feedback and results. You can use various tools and techniques to review and improve your time management skills, such as self-assessment, peer review, coaching, or the PDCA cycle. The PDCA cycle stands for Plan, Do, Check, Act, and it is a continuous process of improvement.
