It's the end of another busy working day and, even though you came into the office early and left late, you don't feel as if you've accomplished anything significant.
The Importance of Scheduling
Scheduling is the art of planning your activities so that you can achieve your goals and priorities in the time you have available. When it's done effectively, it helps you:
Understand what you can realistically achieve with your time.
Make sure you have enough time for essential tasks.
Add contingency time for "the unexpected."
Avoid taking on more than you can handle.
Work steadily toward your personal and career goals.
Have enough time for family and friends, exercise and hobbies.
Achieve a good work-life balance.
Time is the one resource that we can't buy, but we often waste it or use it ineffectively. Scheduling helps you think about what you want to achieve in a day, week or month, and it keeps you on track to accomplish your goals.
