time management

Yes, when I was running a household I did have to organize and divide my time. I was working a full time job and had a troubled grandchild I was trying to raise. And the thing I always hated about it was you had to do over again the next day. Most of it anyway. Never ending jobs had to be done.

I think this happen to a lot of people even if they are not homemaker because they are busy and have to plan for their next task in order to be more efficient.

Hello! I think each one of us who values time, thinks in the same pattern, as you think. I also make plans for the next day and note down (on my mobile handset) things 'to do' the next day or day after.

We use a calendar to mark off days we have appointments so we can look up and see what the other person has on. Sometimes I start planning my time a lot more . When I was working I used outlook and planned out many of my tasks, and assigned times to spend on different activities. Outlook also has special functions like "recurring events" so you can enter something for a day, then tell outlook to put it on your calendar for each week or month. You might like to use something like this to plan your time for dinner each day etc. It doesn't mean you always have to stick to the calendar, but it is good to quickly look at the calendar and see what times you are probably spending on recurring tasks (like cooking and eating dinner), and what times you are free for other things.

I am a Computer faculty and I running my Computer Institute as well as performed lots of household work because no servant in our house. Friend the most important thing for time management is you can write each and every work which is not regular then you can manage time for that work also. I make a list for new works and then complete that work.

i'm not a homemaker but just like you time management is so important to me, if i will not manage my time better then i don't have time to spare here.

This afternoon I asked my 16 year old son to baby sit my 4 year old disabled son and my 2 year old daughter. Then I did 3 hours of gardening. I was bagging up rubbish, weeding and planting some new plants. I am trying to make my back garden into a hardy tropical looking garden. When my daughter goes to her childminder I like to concentrate on house work: tidying up and cleaning. I do one room at a time. From time to time I do clutter clearing and this makes my bungalow look much better.

No, I think you're actually lucky ot only think about what you're going to do for the day and that actually doesn't need time management. I think time amanagement is only for people who are actually too busy, like people who go everywhere and with an active lifestyle. For a homemaker, you can use good time management in managing your chores.

Yes...I try to map things out so I have enough time to get everything done that I want to accomplish....sometimes I do...sometimes I don't get to everything...but you are right...we need time management!

I'm always thinking about the things in which I have to do throughout the day. But sometimes multitasking, like if I am brushing my teeth, I am organizing the bathroom counter at the same time, and I will try to clean throughout the day a little at a time.

I'm not good at time management,so i just do what i've planed on my daily routine.Well,it is still efficient if you've already done what you've planed,but actually it is indeed not an easy task.Especially in the evening,we are so tired.Have a nice day.

Hmmmmm.. You're definitely good at time management. You think ahead what you need to do and allot a time for each of the tasks.. I sometimes do that also but most of the time, I do not succeed since I have the attitude of a procrastinator. :(

hem not really but sometimes happening to me. yeah sometimes i thinking about my familiy when i work for long time that need a lotof my time. feel alone when i am in the class that many people there. but i keep spirit to do my job.
