Time Management Tips

3 Tips for Time Management

Set a List of Tasks:

Have a plan of what you want to work on during a specific time. This will keep you on track, and make you feel more productive. Digital tools like Trello can help you by organizing things that need to be done, things being worked on, and things completed!

Avoid distractions:

Apps like Forest can help keep you from jumping to distractions. Forest has you plant a digital tree that grows the longer you don't leave the app.

Space Things Out

Don't set unattainable goals for yourself. Breaking things into chunks is the best way to get work done! Look at projects in pieces and they'll be easier to work with.
