Time Management for Womans

Alas, we never have enough time to implement each and every intention. Oftentimes, we run around and make fuss trying to do as much as we can, but still a lot of things are unfinished by the evening. What's the reason of such poor results? How can we organize our day so that we always have time for work and pleasure?

Here I'll present to you some recommendations of German psychologist Lothar J. Seiwert, who managed to find the right answers to such questions. Dr. Seiwert believes that his method is more suitable for women than for men.

First of all, he recommends making plans for every day. Planning helps you think clearly and formulate all your tasks.
The best time for making plans for tomorrow is today's evening. If you do so, tomorrow morning you will know what to start and what to end with, and won't be trying to do a few things at once (which is not a good idea at all unless you don't care for results). Please note that you should plan the use of only 60 percent of your available time, leaving the rest for unexpected things. (Remember that sometimes you are delayed at work, your car breaks down, or something else happens.) Analyze what your time is spent for. Is it small talk? If some of your colleagues talk too much, explain to them that you have a lot of things to do right now. If your friend calls you at work at the peak of your day, promise her that you'll call her back in the evening (and do that).

If you spend a lot of time buying foods, probably you should reschedule you visit to the store. For example, think about shopping in the morning, before going to work, when traffic is less intensive.

You have worked hard for an hour? Then it's time for a break! Have a cup of coffee, visit some web forum, or read a magazine. But remember that you have only 10-15 minutes to relax! Feeling fresh again? Then get down to business!
If you don't have a homemaker, it's not a good idea to do everything on your own. Overburdening yourself is so old-fashioned! You can always share your housework with your family. Your husband is probably as good as you at vacuuming carpets, and your teenage kid can easily clean up his or her room.

Now, the most important part! Don't try to make some megaplans. You can't do everything in a day or two. It will probably only result in your getting upset and even depressed, and you don't want that! Therefore, remember that the evening is a time to relax, praise yourself for today's achievements, and start planning for tomorrow.
