What are the rules of effective time management?

Preventing or minimizing the damage, Loses, faults before thay hapen and maaximizing the benefits at the start.

I believe applying the80\\20 rule.

Always attend to the most important matters first and then segment your work schedule to accomplish as much as you can .

All tasks must be pre planed.

closely monitoring the dead line.

must be hard worker.

Never delay any task.

I use the time priority matrix. Concentrate on the (important, not urgent) tasks which prvents having tasks in the (important, urgent) tasks quadrant, which if present takes the highest priority. assign the lowest priority for the (not important, urgent) tasks and ignore the (not important, not urgent) tasks.

Setting clear goals, breaking your goals down into discreet steps and reviewing your progress

Many people spend energy trying to be more efficient without first doing the more important - setting goals. Like being lost driving to a city, it does not help to drive faster if you are not going in the right direction. Figure out what direction to go and go in that direction.  

There are four rules to effective and empowering timemanagement: Be authentic, place yourself on your list, know your own worth, and say goodbye to takers. 

Discipline and dedication.

An effective time managemaent is the key to success. All the things you wish to do in your life should get a part of your daily time. If there is no allocation of time for a specific task then you should not expect it to be done.

In your daily routine you should fix some time for each of your priorities according to its requirement and your comfort. You should follow this timetable strictly unless there is some emergency for a day or so that you need to change it temporarily.

Break it down to your minimum level, i.e days, hours and minutes than assign the task make a check list on the basis of priority/urgency etc......

Do this exercise many time a day to follow up your self....
