Time Management Tools – Part 1

Creating a successful time management strategy sometimes involves using tools both offline and online. One of the most useful is a time log. Using a log for about a week will give you the information you need about your habits and time wasters to give your productivity a boost.

Most business people enjoy using a calendar. But the type of calendar you employ can improve or hinder your productivity. Calendars that consist of only blank pages don’t engender time management skills while those calendars with times listed, places to make lists or have priorities will be more applicable.

Another option is a Bubble Planner which uses mind map technology to link the conscious mind to the subconscious mind to combine creativity and achievement. These maps engage memory and convert energy into action in those who are directed. It also sparks creativity and establishes boundaries while at the same time allowing the writer to see the links between tasks.
