National Time Management Month

February is National Time Management Month. Here are a few methods to help you use your time efficiently:

1. Block uninterrupted time for activities:

  • Group errands and plan the shortest route.
  • Check & respond to emails only twice per day.
  • Let the machine get the phone when you are involved in another activity.
  • Make time for family & self.

2. Prioritize: Decide what tasks are most important and focus on achieving those tasks.

3. Develop routines: Laundry on Monday, scrub floors on Tuesday, groceries on Wed, etc.

4. Delegate: Give all family members responsibilities based on their ages & abilities.

5. Use a calendar: Keep track of everyone’s schedules in one spot.
