Do you always feel short of time?
2
Are you constantly pressured to meet deadlines, whether it’s at work or at home?
3
If so, you’re in need of some essential time management tips.
4
During this video, we will uncover 10 top tips to help you get on top of your tasks and more in charge of your time.
5
Here’s how to work smarter, not harder.
6
1. Declutter Your Workspace The first step to time management success is having an organised workspace; if you work in a frantic way, you’re bound to waste time searching for papers or files.
7
So, to boost productivity, start by decluttering your workspace and only keep any vital items around you.
8
2. Create a To-Do List A good to-do list will help you stay on track, rather than swaying to and from tasks, and it will also give you a great sense of achievement when you’ve managed to tick off a large chunk at the end of the day.
9
The best way to create your list is to analyse your tasks towards the end of your shift and prepare for the following day.
10
That way, you won’t waste time in the morning when you’re most productive on something minor like a list.
11
3. Prioritise Now you have your list of duties; you’ll need to rank them in order of priority.
12
The way you do this is up to you – you could use a numerical ranking system, highlights or mental notes.
13
What’s important here is to understand which is the most urgent job and get that out of the way first.
14
4. Set Achievable Goals A great way to stay motivated is to set achievable goals.
15
If you have 20 difficult tasks, it's apparent that you won't achieve them all in one day.
16
Therefore, be realistic when prioritising and creating your list, so that you don't get disappointed when 5pm rolls around!
17
5. Use Organisation Apps If you’re tech-friendly, an organisation app is what you need in your life!
18
You could use a project management tool like Trello to keep your tasks visible and your workflow clear.
19
On the other hand, if you want a simple checklist, Todoist is your perfect match!
20
6. Don’t Multitask Many people assume that multitasking is a great skill to have, but if you’re not able to work fluidly, you’ll end up bouncing from tasks and wasting time in between.
21
This can also lead to careless mistakes and forgetfulness.
22
7. Reward Yourself When you’ve finished a big task, why not reward yourself with a treat?
23
This could vary depending on your interests – you might want to order a coffee, a cake or have a catch up with your favourite coworker.
24
Just don’t overdo it and have 10 cups of coffee a day – that won’t help anyone!
25
8. Stay Off Social Media Unless you work in marketing, limit your time on social platforms when you’re trying to get jobs done.
26
If you really can’t resist looking at every notification, put your phone on flight-mode or download a social media blocking app.
27
9. Audit Your Time Once you’ve spent a week following your new plan, audit your time and see how productive you’ve been.
28
You may see that you can spend less time on certain tasks and adjust your plan accordingly.
29
10. Take Frequent Breaks Taking frequent breaks is crucial when trying to keep productivity levels up; otherwise, your energy levels will drop, and you will end up swaying from your work.
30
Many competing theories suggest specific timeframes; however, you should figure out how long you can stay focused for and then take a 15-30-minute break in between.
31
Developing these skills won’t happen overnight, but by following these tips, you’ll enjoy a much more efficient work life.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
