Save more time: plan!

Time. There never seems to be enough of it. From the moment the alarm clock rouses us from sleep until we again shut our eyes again at night, we are racing against time. We try to fit in as much as we can in our day and find several unfinished tasks that we carry forward to the next day.

Perhaps an obvious time saving tip, but think how much we would accomplish if we plan ahead. There are so many quotes about planning out there. The first that comes to mind is "he who fails to plan; plans to fail." This could not be truer or over stressed yet many people still neglect to take time out and make realistic time saving plans.

Though it initially takes time to make a plan. If it is a realistic one, it goes a long way because not only does it guide us as we go through our day, we can at a glance know where we need to put more energy.

It does not have to be an elaborate step by step of what you plan to do all day. Simple bullet points with approximate timescale work for many and there are no rules that say you must adhere to the plan dogmatically. As with most things, flexibility is important.

A few other things planning ahead would save you include: late submissions on deadlines, money, sleep and angry outbursts from people who have to over stretch themselves picking up on the mess that our lack of planning creates.

Only the person who thinks the hours of the day are more than enough to finish his/her daily task will continue to say, ' planning, I'm just not cut out for it.'
