Our top tips for managing your time

Make a commitment to yourself today to ‘make time’ for something you really want to do.

Have a good idea of what your time is worth to you. If you calculate the figure regularly it enables you to decide whether it's profitable to have work done by someone else.

At the beginning of a meeting, tell the other person how much time you can spend.

Not only make daily and monthly lists of things that have to be done but make sure you keep the completed lists and analyse them closely.

Don’t let negative attitudes or opinions limit your activity.

Handle paperwork only once; answer it, throw it out  or delegate it - each day, so that it doesn't pile up.

Do not postpone important matters that are unpleasant. Jobs rarely get more pleasant by being postponed.

Try to arrange routine times for jobs such as going through the mail, talking with your manager or staff, computer input, etc.

Try to fix definite times when you would not like to be disturbed, and make the system work except for genuine emergencies.

If you have several phone calls to make, do them all in a burst.

Plan some time for discussing routine matters with your colleagues. Then you avoid interrupting each other all the time.

Learn to say ‘No’. Get used to asking yourself ‘Am I the right person for this job?’

Make a habit of finishing the main job of the day before you go home.

Ask people who come to me with problems to propose their own solutions.

Before answering 'yes', ask yourself if you really want to/should get involved.

Time management links

We believe the web is a fantastic place for marketing and promotion but we believe that there should be access to free information which is in abundance on many sites. Total Success have searched the web for free information on time management and assertiveness and you can find these on our assertiveness links page. If you know of other sites which contain relevant information or to inform us that a particular site does no longer exist (many sites come and go at a fast rate on the web), please e-mail us. The criteria for inclusion is a site which has a lot of free information on time management and assertiveness skills and not just companies promoting courses or products.

We hope you find the information you are looking for and if you have information on sites which should be added or if you would like me to include your page, please e-mail us.

The success of this page is dependent on the information we receive and we hope it grows to include most of the time management on the web. We will attempt to include good sites and hope that it contains the time management information you require but due to time constraints we may not be able to respond to all the emails immediately - bear with us.

As this page will increase its entries, bookmark it or place it in your favourites file for updated time management links.

We'll start with a couple of our own:
