Its always said manage your time instead of letting it manage you. We all face problems with time management at work. You wake up hopeful and optimistic, hoping that  you will meet all of your deadlines you’ll also go to the gym.

Then you face life. You leave late, get stuck in traffic, and arrive at work already frustrated. As you sit down to finish that project you’ve been putting off for weeks, you realise you’ve got back-to-back meetings until noon—and you’re already late for the first one.

Here are 4 tips that will help you optimize time.

#1 Determine how you currently spend your time.

To improve your personal time management, you must first determine where your time is going. Try tracking your daily activities for a week and diligently logging your time. This audit will assist you in the following ways:

• Determine how much you can realistically accomplish in a single day.
• Determine wastage 
• Concentrate on activities that yield the highest returns.

#2 Create a daily schedule and stick with it.

This step is absolutely crucial for learning how to manage time at work. Don’t even attempt to start your day without an organized to-do list. Before you leave work for the day, create a list of the most pressing tasks for the next day. This step allows you to get going as soon as you get to the office.

Putting everything on paper will prevent you from lying awake at night tossing and turning over the tasks running through your brain. Instead, your subconscious goes to work on your plans while you are asleep, which means you can wake up in the morning with new insights for the workday.

#3 Combine tasks that are similar.

Save time and mental energy by attempting to finish all of one type of to-do before moving on to the next.

#4 Set time limits for tasks.

Setting time limits on tasks rather than simply working until they’re completed should be part of creating your schedule.
