There is a lot to be said about time management. We all do it, some more effective and some not so well. Sometimes we all feel that there is just not enough time in the day. Well there is if you manage your time properly. You should first write down what you must accomplish that day. Then you determine the amount of time each task will take. For instance, you could practice your typing while waiting for a load of clothes to be done; or you could study while you are waiting for the potatoes to boil. Multi-tasking is the term that is heard frequently in today's workforce. Making a list of tasks, is a very good habit to help manage your time. If you know that you must complete many things in a given time, this helps. As the task is completed, you cross it off and begin another one.

Try to be realistic with the amount of time that you allow for each task, you don't want to have five minutes for a fifteen minute drive or plan a doctor visit and an important interview within five minutes of each other. So think about the day, plan it out, and make a list.
