Time Management 101

Ever wished that there were more than 24 hours in a day? Don't worry, we all do.
But you know that's not possible, right? Hence, the next best thing - making do with what we have. So how do you make your 24 hours work for you? Well, MYC! offers you some of the best tips on how to make your time worthwhile.

• Do not procrastinate - Admit it, we ALL procrastinate. We delay what ought to be done, save it for another day and whaddaya know! By the end of the month all you get is one stinkin' pile of work. So what can you do? Start with small, generally-uninteresting things and work your way up to the bigger, more exciting projects! Avoid being unnecessarily overwhelmed by the time deadlines roll in.

• Deadlines - Every working girl/guy's least favourite word. In relation to my first point, the trick to making your hours count is to set deadlines (only realistic ones, please!). This is to ensure that you get what you need to do for the day done and not drag your feet. Make a checklist of what you need to do for the day. Being organised and systematic every once in a while does not hurt.

• Limiting your talk-time - I know you love your friends and cannot wait to catch up with them to tell them all about what happened over the weekend, but learn to limit your talk-time...or rather, learn to talk with full-stops. Socialising with your colleagues is good, but rambling on and on and getting no work done has its own consequences.

• Cut down on your FB-ing - Even the simplest things like watching a five-minute video or looking through a friend's new photo album and cooing over his/her new puppy can take up lots of your time, and before you know it, you've spent hours clicking on interesting stuff...hence bad time management.
