What does it take to make consistent progress? Why are some people always ahead of others where the day is the same 24 hours for all? The secret behind it lies in proper time management.
Using a time management tool will allow you to allocate time to different tasks based on their priority and drive you to finish those tasks on time. It will crank your efficiency up and help you perform better throughout the day.
Let's find out the secrets to getting time management tools and using them correctly.
In simple terms, time management means dividing times into different spans and allotting tasks into those spans according to the urgency and importance of the task. Be it personal or professional, planning a certain time to do the task will reduce waste of time and make the task more efficient.
You will get plenty of time management tools online. Some of them require you to pay a certain amount while others are free. Most time management tools have some general features.
You can create your to-do list on these tools. Besides, these tools can count how much time you are working on a certain task. The overall report is shown in the dashboard so that you get a quick overview of the day or month.
Some tools are even more sophisticated, but we don’t want you to be trapped in the complexity of tools rather than using those tools for making your tasks easier.
The tool doesn’t manage time, and it is you who thinks about how to use the time and takes the help of those tools to manage time. So, don’t get overwhelmed by every small detail of these tools.
Here are some pro tips for maintaining your time more efficiently for the best outcome.
Select a simplified time planner and use it to track your time. Complex tools take a lot of time to master, and that can be time-consuming.

Creating a list of tasks you need to complete today is probably the most effective way for productivity. But making the list is only half of the process, and you need to prioritize tasks.
Organize the list depending on when the tasks should be done and how much time they would take to complete. Put the same types of tasks into the same slots to minimize waste.
Maintain a strict rule to not look at social media notifications when you are working. Even though you fool yourself by saying it’s just a notification or a message, you will lose half or one hour in browsing social media for no reason.
Make certain slots for using social media throughout the day. Don’t overdo it. Also, select the reasons you will be using social media for. You don’t need to poke your nose into everything you see on social media if you want to progress.
If you are too much into routine or time management, work will get boring at one point. So, spend some time energizing yourself mid-work. It can be a 5-minute break to drink water and stretch your body.
But be careful, don’t let this break time grow into hours which people usually do, and it will ruin all of your plans.
