Managing Time: The Path to High Self-Performance Coordinator: Dr. Eman KH. Ebrahim LEARNING OUTCOMES: After completing this chapter, you should be able to: 1. Discuss the various perspectives on Time as the first step in achieving an individualized time management strategy and plan. 2. Benefits of Managing your time. 3. Identify Time management strategies  Perspectives on Time Each person has a specific perspective of time, which is based on his or her own experiences, values, education, socioeconomic factors, age, personality, culture, and genetic makeup.  To understand an individual’s own perspective on time and the resulting behaviors, it is necessary to create opportunities to examine personal preferences, habits, and tendencies. This is the critical first step in achieving an individualized time management strategy and plan.  Benefits of Managing your Time Improved patient outcomes by implementing a collaborative structure in the work environment Increased satisfaction with your work accomplishments Improved interpersonal relations because of your ability to be fully present and engaged to do your best work Improved personal health because of decreased anxiety and a restoration of emotional balance  Energy Management Striving to be more efficient and more organized or to manage time and priorities better is all in the interest of becoming a better performer either in one’s work or personal life. This requires drawing on four separate but related sources of energy: (1) physical, (2) mental, (3) spiritual, and (4) emotional.  Time Management Strategies I) Setting Priorities: Prioritizing is about making choices of what to do and what not to do. To prioritize effectively, you need to be able to recognize what is important, as well as to see the difference between urgent (must be done immediately) and important (must be done, but there may be flexibility as to when the task can be accomplished). A major component of planning is deciding what should be done first and what activities should follow sequentially. II) Scheduling Activities: Scheduling activities is an important component of planning. By scheduling activities, a person determines how much time is spent on a specific activity. A schedule of activities can be constructed using a variety of different methods, including hourly time schedules, which are not new to most people because they tend to be used throughout life. Everyone has used an hourly schedule for appointments, classes, or leisure activities. III) Establishing a To-Do List: Writing something on paper often is the first step to accomplishing it. A to-do list tends to keep people on track and focused on specific activities. Thus the list should be reflective of your priorities and goals. To-do lists should be made and revised daily to be the most useful in managing your time. Sometimes they require revision more frequently, even hourly, when priorities shift for valid reasons. The list should be legible and easily accessible to review throughout the day.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78lUbHXCHLo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgp6eELYY1M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oQRtxkuM8Y
