Digital Marketing - Study Notes:
You probably instinctively know that it makes sense to manage your time. But what are the actual benefits of effective time management?
Being in control
Well, think about it. How do you feel when you think you don’t have enough time? Stressed out, or even panicked! But knowing what has to be done, when, and by whom, allows you to experience calmness. You feel in control of your time and your tasks. In addition, you open yourself up to new ideas and challenges in work.
When you’re in control of your time, you’re better able to defend your time against those who would knowingly waste if for you.
Earning a reputation
In fact, you begin to get a reputation as the person who gets stuff done. People admire how you manage your time and succeed with your tasks. This, in turn, means you are better positioned to seek promotion.
This positive reputation has other benefits too. For example, peers like to work with you, because you are successful in the workplace.
Feeling calmer
And think about the personal benefits. Because you are calmer, you sleep better and are easier to be around. You have high energy, and your personal and workplace relationships improve.
Getting more done
With good time management, you get more done in less time. This, in turn, gives you more free time, and helps you focus on what is important, and not just on what seems to be urgent. You can then put your freed-up time to good use, such as further training and learning, or other steps to develop your career. All these benefits also improve your overall well-being.
