You may know some people who seem to get things done very fast. If you’re an employee, you might have co-workers who get all their work done without having to work overtime. Or if you’re a college student (or back when you were in school), there are students who have heavy course loads and still get straight A’s.
How do they do it? The answer is most likely their time management skills. They may have learned time management and applied what they learned. And they got good at it with practice.
You can achieve the same results too, and maybe even better results. People aren’t born with good time management skills (but there may be some naturals at it). But time management is a skill that can be learned and practiced. If you’re struggling with not having enough time or not getting all your work done on time, you can learn time management and apply it to your life. And you can get better at it with practice.
For instance, the first few times you apply the 80/20 rule, you might not eliminate enough tasks. You might feel uncomfortable eliminating tasks because you feel you might be missing out on something important. But as you get more experience using the 80/20 rule, you’ll feel more comfortable eliminating tasks.
Using Parkinson’s Law is a great way to increase your productivity. You can set time limits to your tasks. But for your first few efforts, the time limits you set may be unrealistic. As you get more experience, the time limits you set become more realistic and are still tight enough to force an increase in productivity.
