Get more accomplished with time management

All of us wish that we could add just one more hour to the day in order to finish everything we need to do.

Unfortunately for us, time is constant. It doesn't change. It just IS. We can not add or subtract to it.

Basically, time can not be managed. But, proper time management is managing yourself in relation to time.

The first thing you need to do to manage your time and be more productive is to do a time audit. This is a simple tool in which you record how you currently spend your time. Once you find the unneccessary tasks that are filling your day, you can begin to adjust so you can be more effective and reach your goals.

Public Relations is a field full of deadlines. Just because you are extremely busy does not necessarily mean that you are being productive. Rather concentrate your efforts on results, not on being busy.

One of the biggest culprits that steal your time is procrastination. To beat procrastination, make a "to-do" list with the most important items listed first. We're all procrastinators at one time or another. But don't allow procrastination to consume your day.

Get a personal planner and write all your appointments, deadlines and even tasks. Breakdown large and overwhelming tasks into smaller jobs.

With these and other time management strategies, you can be a more efficient young professional allowing you to climb up the success ladder faster.
