My occupations right now are a media policy fellowship, graduate school (MLIS program) and serving on the board of directors for a nonprofit organization. All of which require a combination of reading, research, writing, travel, networking and a lot of e-mailing.
So in that spirit, here are some time management tips from the Mayo Clinic, abridged:
- Plan each day.
- Prioritize your tasks.
- Say no to nonessential tasks.
- Delegate.
- Take the time you need to do a quality job.
- Break large, time-consuming tasks into smaller tasks.
- Practice the 10-minute rule.
- Evaluate how you're spending your time.
- Limit distractions.
- Get plenty of sleep, have a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
- Take a time management course.
- Take a break when needed.
