Time management skills help you work smarter and reduce the stress of work overload Personal time management skills are essential skills for anyone wanting to be effective at work and play. A person who uses time management techniques are often routinely high achievers in all walks of life, from business to sport to public service. If you use time management skills well, you will be able to function exceptionally well, even under intense pressure.  What's more, as you master these skills, you'll find that you take control of your workload, and say goodbye to the often intense stress of work overload.  At the heart of time management is an important shift in focus: Concentrate on results, not on being busy.  Many people spend their days in a frenzy of activity, but achieve very little because they're not concentrating their effort on the things that matter the most.  I often say, “If you are not working the commander’s issues, then, you are not working the issue.”  This is neatly summed up in the Pareto Principle, or the '80:20 Rule'. This says that typically 80% of unfocussed effort generates only 20% of results. The remaining 80% of results are achieved with only 20% of the effort. While the ratio is not always 80:20, this broad pattern of a small proportion of activity generating non-scalar returns recurs so frequently that it is the norm in many situations. By applying the time management tips and skills you can optimize your effort to ensure that you concentrate as much of your time and energy as possible on the high payoff tasks; the commander’s issues! This ensures that you achieve the greatest benefit possible with the limited amount of time available to you.  So, I encourage you to take the time; review this information, and work to apply it to your daily life. Remember, to have life is to have time, to have time is to have hope. A well managed life is filled with hope.
