<ul><li>Make a to-do list for every day: One of the best time management tools you can develop.</li><li>Make your to-do lists a habit: When something new comes up, add it to the list.</li><li>Check off your completed tasks: This activity gives you a sense of accomplishment and generates the motivation to keep going.</li></ul>

Make a To-Do-List

For you to develop sufficient desire to develop time management and organizational skills, you must be intensely motivated by the benefits you feel you will enjoy. 
You must want the results badly enough to overcome the natural inertia that keeps you doing things the same old way.

Time Management Motivation

<ul><li>Not allowing enough time to complete your task: Add sufficient cushion time to complete every step of the project. </li><li>Assuming that everything will work out all right: Assume that you are going to have problems and schedule sufficient time and resources to solve those problems.</li><li>Rushing at the end: You almost invariably will make mistakes and do poor quality work that you'll have to go back and correct later. </li><li>Trying to do several things at once: You end up doing nothing well. </li></ul>

Time Management Mistakes

We tend to confuse activity with accomplishment: we attend endless meetings and make plans, but at the end of the day, no one does the job and gets the results required.“Failure to execute” is among the biggest problems in organizations today.

Failure to execute

Time is our precious resource. It is perishable, it is irreplaceable, and it cannot be saved. It can only be reallocated from activities of lower value to activities of higher value.
Time management refers to how you schedule and organize your time for different activities.
