Time Management Personality Types and How to Manage Time Better

Want to learn how to manage time better? The key to time management is knowing ourselves, as we can't actually "manage" time; all we can manage is our own behavior. For many of us this is more than enough of a challenge.

The Pomodoro Method

Rather than trying to work flat-out, break down your day into a series of work-sprints with a short rest period after each session.

Set a timer for 25 min and focus exclusively on your work for that time, take a 5 min break, and repeat.
