Time Management

Time management is a vital skill to master. You might encounter the dreaded procrastination at times but in the work place it is less forgivable than during studies. There are insurmountable strategies and tips out there to help us manage our tasks, but time management is a personal mastery. Example, we all work differently and are productive and highly functional at certain times of the day. Some of you might be more productive in the mornings, others need to sit in a certain environment like office or out in a garden. You might need to block distractions with music. Reflect on what works best for you and align your work tasks accordingly. Now remember that workplaces are still largely traditional. Balance what works for you within the parameters of the existing organisational culture.
