Do you have enough time? I'm sure you don't. Also I'm sure you waste some of your time. Have you heard of: "If you waste your time - you waste your life, as time is the substance from which life is made'. Effective time management is essential for us not to waste our lives. We have only 24 hours a day and the big quantity of tasks every day. If you know how to manage such important resource as time, it will help you to get the most of your life. Here are several strategies for effective time management:

• Plan long term goals. Make two lists, the first one for things you want to do this year, and the second one for steps you need to take, to make all these things done this year. So you will have a list of tasks for each month.
• Plan short term goals. Also you should have a plan for each week and that will help you to accomplish the larger tasks that take all year.
• Priorities. Set the priorities in your life. Do the tasks by their importance. Remember that you must do the important task first and the rest of the time you can spend on the other tasks.
• Plan your work and your breaks. Ask yourself, how long you can concentrate on a certain task. Some people can be focused for 30 minutes, and some for 60. According to your concentration on work, plan little breaks on the time when your attention is exhausted. That can help you to refresh and concentrate all your attention on the current task.
• Put similar tasks together. If you appoint similar tasks to the same time that will save you a lot. If you have to do several phone calls try to do them all at one time, it will be more effective than spreading them across your day.
• Delegate and outsource. How much is your hour worth? Think about the usual things you spend your time on every day. It would be better to pay someone else to do the things you are not an expert in. You will save your time and get much better results than you had.
