When someone who has a lot of activities, that all demand his or her time wants to get organized what does that individual usually do? Well, is simple get a to do list. Most of us at one point or another may have had a to do list,  you know that good old list where we write down what we intend to do, and once we achieve a particular task we check it. The to do list is very helpful, though is has its limitations. The problem with the to do list is this, it makes you feel like you have alot to do with very little time, most people end up doing the easy tasks in order to have more items checked on the list. This is not right, the aim of the list is not about making you feel like you have done alot, rather is to make you attend to issues at their level of priority. Today, we will be presenting to you a new kind of to do list, which have being proven to be highly effective in maximizing time while you execute your tasks.

Time management is not very difficult as a concept, but it’s surprisingly hard to do in practice. It requires the investment of a little time upfront to prioritise and organise yourself. But once done, you will find that with minor tweaks, your day, and indeed your week and month, fall into place in an orderly fashion, with time for everything you need to do.
The Key to Good Time Management
Understanding The Difference Between Urgent and Important
‘ Urgent ’ tasks demand your immediate attention, but whether you actually give them that attention may or may not matter.
' Important ' tasks matter, and not doing them may have serious consequences for you or others.
For example:
Answering the phone is urgent. If you don’t do it, the caller will ring off, and you won’t know why they called. It may, however, be an automated voice from your service provider telling you of their new products and services and you agree with me when i say that’s not important.
Going for medical check up regularly is important (or so we’re told). If you don’t, you may get infected with a disease, or other health problems. But it’s not urgent. If you leave it too long, however, it may become urgent, because you may breakdown.
Picking your children up from school is both urgent and important. If you are not there at the right time, they will be waiting in the playground or the classroom, worrying about where you are.
Reading funny emails or checking Facebook is neither urgent nor important. So why is it the first thing that you do each day?
minimising distractions to help you recognise and avoid other things that may distract you from getting your urgent and important tasks done.
This distinction between urgent and important is the key to prioritising your time and your workload, whether at work or at home.
Try using a grid, like the priority matrix, to organise your tasks into their appropriate categories like the one above.

 Talking about time, at this point, there is something important that demands my urgent attention so permit me leave you. Like I always say keep working towards success and I will definitely see you at the top olebonchi(that is good bye in Idoma language).
