Step one: recording.

When you wake up tomorrow, note the time in your day planner.

As the day progresses, write down everything that you do.

Pick up your five biggest time wasters in your day.

Be honest with yourself.

Come on, you get the picture.

Especially focus on the time wasters at work.

Why?

A study published by the British medical journal says that workplace stress is minimized by effective time management.

It also says that workplace stress bleeds over into home life and undermines relax life at home.

Here's the ugly part: add up all the time you wasted.

How much productive time did you blow on activities that got you no results?

Step three: changing.

Now it's time to come up with a way to get that time back.

Your three ways to change your time wasting habits and become a better time manager.
