Your best friend comes to
you with a problem: he is not doing well in school because he has to much going on after school. he wants to improve his grades without giving up his after-school activities.
what are three general time-management techniques that you can suggest him?

1. Prioritize

Most people take a lot of time doing things that are not a priority at that particular moment thus lowering the productivity.   When you prioritize each assignment, you will not only have an easy time solving the important issues but will also ensure that  you get your issues solved on time. When you teach yourself how to prioritize your work, you will greatly save time that you would have otherwise used to do tasks that are not important.

2. Create time management goals

Remember the focus on time management is actually changing your behavior not changing time. You should teach your employees on how to eliminate time waster. For instance, you can challenge them to set a goal of not taking personal call while working and see who much time they will save. By helping your employees create time management goals, you will help them be more productive and efficient in service delivery.

3. Keep a log

When you first begin to teach yourself time management, keep a log for a week of everything that you do throughout the day, then analyze the log that you have kept and look for any time that was wasted each day .If you then help to keep that wasted time to a minimal level, then you can greatly help yourself to use that time to do something useful.
