I have learned that time management is a skill that helps me plan and organize how I use my time effectively and efficiently. It helps me control and prioritize the tasks and activities that I need or want to do within a given time frame. 

Time management has helped me in many ways, such as:

• I can achieve more goals and results in less time and with less stress.

• I can improve the quality and quantity of my work and output.

• I can enhance my productivity, performance, and creativity.

• I can reduce procrastination, distraction, and interruption.

• I can increase my motivation, satisfaction, and well-being.

I use different ways and tools to manage my time, depending on the nature and needs of the tasks and activities and my own preferences and styles. Some of the ways and tools that I use are:

• I set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals and objectives for myself or my team.

• Many times I use the Kanban board for myself and my baby. (Please don't judge me here, you may ask me how?)

• I make a to-do list or a schedule of the tasks and activities that I need or want to do, along with their deadlines and priorities.

• I use a calendar, a planner, an app, or software to plan and track my time and tasks.

• I apply the Pareto principle (80/20 rule), which states that 80% of the results come from 20% of the efforts, to focus on the most important and impactful tasks and activities.

• I apply the Eisenhower matrix, which categorizes the tasks and activities into four quadrants based on their urgency and importance, to decide what to do first, what to do later, what to delegate, and what to eliminate.

I manage my time in a flexible, realistic, and consistent manner. I regularly review and evaluate my goals, tasks, activities, time usage, and results. I do make adjustments and improvements based on feedback and changing circumstances. Time management is a valuable skill for my personal and professional success. It helps me optimize my resources and potential, as well as balance my work and life.
