In 2020, we didn\u2019t accomplish much of what we had planned. The stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 pandemic made it <\/span><\/p>\n even more important to understand the keys to organizing and managing time effectively, so we could maintain life\u2019s momentum despite our shaken confidence in <\/span><\/p>\n the present and uncertainty about the future.<\/span><\/p>\n Amid the disruption and uncertainty, focusing on time management may seem pointless. You may find yourself asking, \u201cWhy should I <\/span><\/p>\n spend time planning when my plans could change at any moment?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s why: Elizabeth Grace Saunders, a time-management coach and author of <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe 3 Secrets to Effective Time Investment,\u201d says she works year-round to coach clients around the world; <\/span><\/p>\n and has seen that the secrets to organizing and managing time effectively are more important than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, she believes time management is essential not only for being productive, but also for protecting<\/span><\/p>\n your well-being during these turbulent times.<\/span><\/p>\n According to Saunders, the secrets to time management come down to three key points:<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n It\u2019s always important to invest your time in line with your priorities. But during this time of added pressure and stress, <\/span><\/p>\n being absolutely clear about what matters most right now is especially urgent and essential.<\/span><\/p>\n The priorities you set depend on your situation. If you find yourself juggling your usual work and home responsibilities, <\/span><\/p>\n while your children are learning remotely, your main goals may simply be to get your work done and try to keep your family <\/span><\/p>\n The right path, getting enough sleep, and of course exercising\u2014all help renew your positive energy and protect your health.<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, if you\u2019re feeling isolated because you don\u2019t have many people around you and can\u2019t take part in <\/span><\/p>\n your usual activities, your priorities may look completely different.<\/span><\/p>\n For you, the secret to managing your time lies in investing in activities that improve your mental <\/span><\/p>\n and emotional well-being and relationships. This could include exercising, seeing friends and family, volunteering, or doing<\/span><\/p>\n whatever you can to maintain a healthy headspace.<\/span><\/p>\n Sanders confirmed that psychological stress has increased, especially since last February, contributing to feelings of anxiety and depression. So if you\u2019re feeling <\/span><\/p>\n this way yourself, do what you can to help restore your mental well-being, and remember that there are many fresh opportunities <\/span><\/p>\n for your future.<\/span><\/p>\n If you feel you have a healthy balance between work, life, and mental well-being, you may be ready to try something new, such as volunteering, <\/span><\/p>\n getting a promotion, or starting a business and stepping into the world of entrepreneurship.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n One of the secrets to managing your time in 2020 is setting realistic expectations. This is important so you don\u2019t end up feeling frustrated for no reason.<\/span><\/p>\n Given everything that\u2019s going on, expect everything to take longer to get done. For example, with many businesses, <\/span><\/p>\n you need to call ahead to make sure they\u2019re open and to check their current hours and protocols.<\/span><\/p>\n For Sanders, she explained that this year felt the same to her as when she moved into a <\/span><\/p>\n new home: you have to figure out where to go.<\/span><\/p>\n Mentally preparing yourself for things to take longer helps you avoid getting frustrated. It also helps you figure out how much <\/span><\/p>\n You can do it in one day. Maybe you can only get one thing done in the evening\u2014that\u2019s okay.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n When you feel like you can\u2019t control many things in your life, having a few simple routines you can<\/span><\/p>\n rely on most of the time can provide an incredible amount of comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n They can be as simple as when you wake up in the morning, when you have coffee, going for a walk after work, or the time <\/span><\/p>\n you go to bed.<\/span><\/p>\n Identify a few simple things that make you feel content, help you focus well, and then enjoy your day. Ideally, they should <\/span><\/p>\n be independent of other people\u2019s external influence.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u0641\u064a \u0639\u0627\u0645 2020\u060c \u0644\u0645 \u064a\u062a\u0645 \u062a\u0646\u0641\u064a\u0630 \u0627\u0644\u0643\u062b\u064a\u0631 \u0645\u0645\u0627 \u062e\u0637\u0637\u0646\u0627 \u0644\u0647\u061b \u0641\u0627\u0644\u062d\u062c\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0646\u0632\u0644\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0630\u064a \u0635\u0627\u062d\u0628 \u062c\u0627\u0626\u062d\u0629 \u0643\u0648\u0631\u0648\u0646\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u062a\u062c\u062f \u201c\u0643\u0648\u0641\u064a\u062f 19\u2033\u060c \u062a\u0633\u0628\u0628 \u0641\u064a \u062a\u0639\u0632\u064a\u0632 \u0623\u0647\u0645\u064a\u0629 \u0645\u0639\u0631\u0641\u0629 [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":22793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_ibtdi_aa_focus_keyword":"","_ibtdi_aa_secondary_keywords":"","_ibtdi_aa_audience":"","_ibtdi_aa_tone":"","_ibtdi_aa_summary":"","_ibtdi_aa_reviewer_name":"","_ibtdi_aa_reviewer_bio":"","_ibtdi_aa_reviewer_url":"","_ibtdi_aa_reviewed_date":"","_ibtdi_aa_service_id":"","_ibtdi_aa_related_ids":"","_ibtdi_aa_human_reviewed":"","_ibtdi_aa_disable":"","_ibtdi_aa_disable_links":"","_ibtdi_aa_sources":"","_ibtdi_aa_update_notes":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[491],"tags":[22571,7741,22572,5071,21905,22573,22574],"class_list":["post-22792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-491","tag-22571","tag-7741","tag-22572","tag-5071","tag-21905","tag-22573","tag-22574"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibtdi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibtdi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibtdi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibtdi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibtdi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibtdi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibtdi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibtdi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibtdi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibtdi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}1.
