It’s managing our time well; It’s about simplifying the way we work; it’s about reducing stress and working more effectively. But why it becomes such a norm these days to feel like we are all stuck with our never-ending to-do list.  I would like to share some time management tips and tricks that have helped me make better use of my time. Implementing these tips into my everyday activities helped me clear up space for people and hobbies, and some rest as well. </span></p>\n","post_templates":[{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"<h2></h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>To-do lists.</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  When I do my grocery shopping with the shopping list, I usually find in and out of the grocery store way more quickly. When I don’t bring my grocery list though, I am spending more time in the store running back and forth between the aisles trying to remember what I needed to buy, and often I forget to buy one or two things. </span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time management for students works pretty much in the same way. When we are trying to remember all the things that we need to do, the chances that we will forget to do something crucial are big. Our mind is trying to remember all the things, but because of the distractions, we fail. So, to free the mind of all the distractions, we need to do a “brain dump”. Get it out of your head, make your to-do list, and put it on the piece of paper or in the notes section of the phone. Hence, you can concentrate on doing the tasks, rather than remembering them. </span></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Rule of three.</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To-do list is a powerful time management tool if used correctly.  What if we litter our list with meaningless tasks and then we feel accomplished when we cross something off, but in reality, we are not getting around to any of the major tasks on that list.  Another time management technique that might help is called “The rule of three”. The concept is introduced by the author J.D. Meier’s fantastic book on agile time management, </span><a href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Aep7mu7ZIro_36TXs6BaKUpKkk3VaG1RcQpZCkXcpos/edit#bookmark=id.30j0zll\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting Results in Agile Way</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.   First, write the three things you want to accomplish this week. Then write three things you want to achieve today and repeat this daily. The daily to-do list will help to work towards achieving the weekly goals. This simple rule helps with working much more effectively. </span></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another time management technique that I found very effective is making your to-do list </span><b>actionable</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Instead of writing something like ‘salon’, even though I know what I meant when I wrote it down, I try to add an action word.  So, instead of writing ‘salon’, I write ‘call salon’ or ‘make the appointment’. Adding the verb makes it easier for the mind to visualize the process of doing it. It increases the chances that the task will be completed. When it comes to larger tasks, like study, try breaking it out into smaller tasks to make it more manageable. For example, what pages do you need to read? What chapter do you need to study?</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Not too much, not too little.</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Scheduling too little to complete the task is more likely makes you feel stressed if it’s not finished on time.  But scheduling too much time can work against you as well. There is the concept called Parkinson’s law, which states –</span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work expands to fill the time available for its completion. </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It means that if you give yourself a week to complete an hour task, then the task will increase in complexity and will fill that week.  So, if you give yourself one hour to work on the project, it will take you about an hour. But if you give yourself four hours, it might take you about four hours. By assigning the right amount of time to a task, not too much, not too little, we gain more time. </span></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Prioritize wisely.</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Once you’ve set your task to complete, it’s time to prioritize them. It’s very important to distinguish what tasks are important and what tasks can clutter your to-do list.  Stephen Covey, the co-author of First Things First, introduced the concept of prioritizing to-do list based on their urgency. He suggested evaluating the list and placing each task into one of the quadrants. </span></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Time Management Matrix</span></p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2401,"id":2401,"title":"2","filename":"2.png","filesize":39178,"url":"http://dev-furlough.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2.png","link":"http://dev-furlough.pantheonsite.io/2019/08/11/time-management-strategies/2-4/","alt":"","author":"4","description":"","caption":"","name":"2-4","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2399,"date":"2019-08-11 10:35:06","modified":"2019-08-11 10:35:06","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"http://dev-furlough.pantheonsite.io/wp-includes/images/media/default.png","width":468,"height":283,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"http://dev-furlough.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"http://dev-furlough.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2-300x181.png","medium-width":300,"medium-height":181,"medium_large":"http://dev-furlough.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2.png","medium_large-width":468,"medium_large-height":283,"large":"http://dev-furlough.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2.png","large-width":468,"large-height":283,"post-thumbnail":"http://dev-furlough.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2.png","post-thumbnail-width":468,"post-thumbnail-height":283}},"photo_credit":"Image Courtesy of econoshift.com"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, focus your energy on completing your most urgent and most important things (quadrant I) before moving on to less time-sensitive items. </span></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><b>Turn off your social media.</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When it comes to time management, my downfall is continuously checking my phone. It is difficult to fight this habit, but easy to moderate.  For example, when I’ve accomplished a major task from my to-do list, I reward myself with social media distraction for about 5-10 minutes before returning to work. Setting a timer helps not to get lost in a trance of scrolling.

They had to create amazing art, make a living some other way, and hope someone (or a large group of people) would come along and &#8220;find&#8221; them and support them on a level to allow them to make a living this way.</span></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that sounds old and antiquated, it is. That was a terribly unfair system and is how so many artists like Van Gogh, writers like Charles Burkowski &amp; John Kennedy Toole, and singer Eva Cassidy all died poor, suffering, or without recognition (or at least not nearly as much as they&#8217;d find) until after they were gone. </span></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there&#8217;s more competition than ever for every type of art, social media like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and more provides platforms where artists can actively work to get themselves out there instead of sitting back and hoping/praying to be discovered. Social media has really opened up the possibilities.</span></p>\n<h3><strong>Fresh Idea</strong></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone who spends any amount of time appreciating art or culture online has almost certainly heard of &#8220;Humans of New York?&#8221; For those readers who haven&#8217;t &#8211; it&#8217;s a page worth checking out immediately. One of the more popular photo blogs in the world that now even has its own book, it took off through Facebook. Photographer Brandon Stanton would go around New York City looking for someone who caught his eye to take a picture of, to find out about, to talk with. The pictures can be happy, haunting, but are almost always vivid.</span></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One a day would be posted to Facebook and it began to explode. Today there are over 17 million followers on Facebook where it really took off, but there are also nearly 9 million followers on Instagram and this has led to a book that spent over half a year as a New York Times Best Seller and hundreds of imitators. Most importantly, it gave a photographer with a unique interesting idea the platform to share his art and now the ability to focus solely on his art and passion.</span></p>\n<h3><strong>YouTube Is Modern Music</strong></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The list of musicians using YouTube to get attention via cover songs and their own work is over 10 years old at this point. Ana Free is a major example of a very early influencer who gained widespread following and landed multiple contracts and international fame as a result of early covers she did of classic rock songs on acoustic guitar &#8211; interspersed with her own original songs.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From cult favorites to giant mega-stars, the sheer list of musicians YouTube has taken from high school, college, or mid-20&#8217;s kid with a dream to bonafide full-time famous musician is stunning at this point, and the list only continues to grow.</span></p>\n<h3><strong>Anonymous Power</strong></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some believe art thrives when artists can embrace anonymity to make bold and daring statements that might not be possible if constrained by the worry of judgement. Social media has allowed what once might have been a really local anonymous street artist to have their work spread. Instagram is home to many such accounts and has definitely helped with the rise of now well known artists like Banksy and the Guerrilla Girls who can share the art without having to reveal their identities and the censorship that might ensue.</span></p>\n<h3><strong>The Freedom of Choice</strong></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why should anyone be surprised by the revelation that social media is making art more widely available? Artists aren&#8217;t limited to a street corner, a small bar half full of patrons not listening to their music, or geographic location. They have the ability to put out art the world can see, to promote it, to have it seen by the world, and to receive feedback both good and bad &#8211; to learn and get even better because of it.</span></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Art is going to thrive with social media and influencers who are passionate about their particular medium, and it&#8217;s hard to imagine that doing anything but continuing into the future.</span></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n"}],"sponsored":false,"date":"2019-05-23T16:43:55","categories":["Art &amp; Design","lifestyle"],"title":"Why
