Chapter 1: managers and you in the workplace
A key to success in management and in your career is having good time management
skills.

Time is a unique resource and one of your most valuable resources. Time is also limited
resource. First, if it’s wasted, it can never be replaced. Second, unlike resources such as

opportunity resource.

Improve your ability to manage your time:
1. Make and keep a list of all your current, upcoming, and routine goals.
2. Rank your goals according to importance.
3. List the activities/tasks necessary to achieve your goals.
4. Divide these activities/tasks into categories using an A, B, and C.
5. Schedule your activities/tasks according to the priorities you’ve set.
6. Plan your to-do list each day so that it includes a mixture of A, B and C
activities/tasks.
7. Recognize that technology makes it too easy to stay connected.
8. Realize that priorities may change as your day or week proceeds.
9. Remember that your goals are to manage getting your work done as efficiently
and effectively as you can.
