Yes, I think I can. I have a to-do list and I plan what I want to do in advance. Not really a problem for me, I am glad. :P

Managing time is an art in itself, sometimes I can and sometimes not. It's best to make a to-do list based on priority. If you really want to manage time then stick to the list no matter what. That will help you accomplish more and at the same time manage time effectively.

I think I do. study, girlfriend, family, friend, nephews.. and a little privacy of course.:) The problem is some of them does not satisfy with my time management. They want me to spend more time with them.

I am not very good at managing time. But I never go late anywhere, in this case I am on time. Otherwise for day to day work sometime it is very difficult to manage the time. Specially if you are not stick with a daily routine then it is always a problem to get all the things done in time. Best thing is make a routine of daily work and try to do according to that. I am trying to improve my time management skil:).

I"m not the best at managing my time so I don't really have any tips. I always do better when I'm not working because I don't have to wrestle with hours and minutes. I like to do things without thinking about time. But time management is quite important so I am going to follow this thread and see if I learn something :)

I jot down the time ones and let the others fill in around it. Stuff always comes up and so the time sensitive ones are set in stone and I adjust around it. I also think along the lines of a week at a time and so as long as the time sensitive things get done the rest is done as I can and finished up about the time the weekend rolls around. Hope you can take something from this that enables you to manage your time better.

I am fairly good at time management, I had to be having a child as a single mum (widowed) and teaching full time. The secret for me, is to have diary. A good one with plenty of space to write notes and lists, & with the times on the left side. Try as hard as possible to follow it. Do't spend too much time on the more unimportant tasks, such as house cleaning. If you are doing a fun task, such as My Lot, take breaks from it, and do one of the boring tasks, such as ironing. Tick of tasks as you complete them. I manage to take my daughter to swimming training 6 times each week, and one of those times I have to get up at 5am. I still get everything done. Good Luck.
