(soft music) Welcome to priorities, habits and time. In these lessons, we will introduce strategies to help you develop a structure to manage the needs of your career and personal life. There are only 24 hours in a day, how we decide to use these hours can mean the difference between feeling fulfilled from a good day's work, or fighting the guilt of another unproductive day. Let's explore some skills that can help you in making unproductive days a thing of the past. To understand how to make your day more productive, let's look at some time management techniques. You can use a time log to determine how you use your time, and how much time you spend on different activities. Are you watching a great deal of TV, do you spend too much time on social media? Are you getting enough rest? When you have your time log mapped out, you can easily look over the activities you devote too much and too little time to. With this information you can prioritize, and make positive changes to your daily schedule. Establishing time management for optimal productivity is about more than just quickly finishing your tasks. We can think of productivity as getting your important jobs done consistently, and on time. Being productive doesn't mean staying busy for the sake of being busy, you can be effective if you think about your upcoming projects and plan to complete them. Positive productivity means that you're managing your schedule in a way that ensures all your tasks are maximizing your time. Lack of productivity often stems from letting outside distractions, and problems into your day. Though, it can take some effort to master, a good time management system may provide a healthier lifestyle. With a properly scheduled day, you can make time to participate in wellness activities to reduce stress, and anxiety and improve your confidence. Crafting a time management plan may be easier if you improve your decision-making skills. Making better decisions can help you become an active participant in your life, instead of simply reacting to the events that affect you. Enhanced decision-making skills can also help you develop a schedule that allows you to give the proper amount of attention to every aspect of your life.
