Mastering Time Management: Top 7 Techniques

Good time management is less about squeezing more into each day and more about choosing what matters, then executing consistently.

1) Pomodoro Technique

Use short focus sprints and defined breaks when you're struggling to start.

2) Getting Things Done (GTD)

Capture everything, then review weekly so your system stays trustworthy.

3) Time Blocking

Reserve calendar blocks for important work first, then fill in shallow tasks.

4) Deep Work

Protect distraction-free sessions for cognitively demanding work.

5) Kanban Method

Visualize your flow and keep “In Progress” intentionally small.

6) Eat That Frog

Do your most important hard task first to reduce procrastination.

7) The 2-Minute Rule

If a task takes less than two minutes, do it now and keep momentum.
