Effective Time Management

Most people feel like they have too much to do and not enough time to do it in. Lack of time becomes the common excuse for their poor finances, stress, bad relationships, and for not being able to exercise. Time is precious, and with the right approach, you can work efficiently, productively, and relatively stress-free. 

Through effective time management and wise planning, you can “create” the time you need, to do the things you want. When you learn to take control of your time, you improve your ability to focus. This increased focus will thus enhance your efficiency, and you’ll start to feel more calm and in control. The first and foremost step to taking control of your time is to identify and know your goals and prioritise the tasks you need to finish using an organised to-do list.

Don’t be afraid to say ‘NO’ and decline requests in order to attend to what is truly important and urgent. Be sure to plan ahead as much as possible, as preparation is key to effective time management. Most importantly, make sure you set aside time to rest and de-stress, as your body and mind needs time to recover between tasks.



With a little bit of concentration and preparation all of us can accomplish more with less effort and time. Creator Academy has a number of courses which all integrate effective time management techniques for both personal and professional areas of life. Make the most of the time you have, as effective time management can help you become more creative and productive, and bring balance and fulfilment to your life.
