Step 6. Concentrate!

The next important principle is the ability to concentrate. During the day it is impossible to give all time to work, something always distracts: the phone is ringing, colleagues are talking, unexpectedly an important and urgent matter shows up; all this takes much time in carrying out the tasks. Try to take maximum responsibility for your job, think that in such a way you will manage it quicker and you will have time for other issues. Of course concentration on one thing cannot go on during the whole day that is why the experts advise after each hour of intensive work to have a five minute’s rest. Thus you will restore your energy and will get the necessary amount of energy to continue the working process.

Step 7. Not only pleasant and useful

Another important point is the ability to cope with unpleasant assignments. Besides, during the day there will be little time when you can pay attention to the issues you like. As a rule work is a synonym for the routine when you have to constantly do something monotonous and repetitive. To carry out such tasks the method of time management advises the following:

• Do not try to move aside the time for carrying out such tasks. Do the most unpleasant part of the work at the beginning of the working day, while you are still full of energy. Admit that delay will cause plenty of trouble, rather than the fact of crying out the job.

• Try to waken enthusiasm in yourself that will suppress the negative attitude towards the problem. Just think, sooner or later you will have to resolve the issue, besides the amount of work may increase and the methodology of time management suggests the opposite effect-reducing the accumulated tasks.
