Do you work? If so, how many tasks do you have to juggle daily? How many deadlines are you supposed to meet? More importantly, how many of those deadlines do you actually get to meet? For any employee, time management is a crucial skill.
If you are unable to manage your time and miss deadlines as a result, you might find yourself flooded with memos or worse, get sacked.
Either way, you can kiss your plans to climb higher up the corporate ladder goodbye.
If you want a promotion, you will have to work for it.
In the old days, the people who worked hardest and longest became supervisors and managers.
But things have changed greatly in the past 10 years.
The Internet has made many things possible, including work arrangements such as telecommuting.
What this shows us is that today, the emphasis is no longer on working longer hours but making the most use of one's time.
Some companies do not even bother with a fixed schedule.
Their employees can come for work and leave the office any time of the day - provided they have finished their tasks.
So you see, the best way to catch the boss' eye and prove you deserve a promotion is through efficiency.
In becoming an efficient employee, time management is key.
Your goal, after all, is not to stay the longest in the office.
Your goal is to accomplish more in lesser time and with minimal effort.
Fortunately, there are many tools and systems that can help you accomplish this - and no one knows these tools and systems better than Martin Avis.
Avis is a reformed procrastinator who came up with a guide to time management - '14 Days to Total Time Control'.
The eBook contains tips, tactics, and systems that proved useful to him and to the many procrastinators who read his book.
Can the resource help you develop better time management skills? There is only one way to find out.
