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.
