시간관리 기술

최근 시간 관리를 너무 못하는 것 같아 구글에서 검색하다 보니 아래의 링크에서 10가지 기술관리 스킬에 대해 요약한 글을 보게 되었다. 

1. Delegate Tasks: It is common for all of us to take more tasks than our desired potential. This can often result in stress and burnout. Delegation is not running away from your responsibilities but is an important function of management. Learn the art of delegating work to your subordinates as per their skills and abilities. (업무를 분담해서 할 것)

2. Prioritize Work: Before the start of the day, make a list of tasks that need your immediate attention as unimportant tasks can consume much of your precious time. Some tasks need to be completed on that day only while other unimportant tasks could be carried forward to next day.  In short, prioritize your tasks to focus on those that are more important. (시간 우선순위를 세워 중요하면서 급한 일을 가장 먼저 처리 할 수 있도록 할 것) 

3. Avoid Procrastination: Procrastination is one of the things that badly affect the productivity. It can result is wasting essential time and energy. It should be avoided at all costs. It could be a major problem in both your career and your personal life. (미루는 습관을 피할 것)

4. Schedule Tasks: Carry a planner or notebook with you and list all the tasks that come to your mind. Make a simple ‘To Do’ list before the start of the day, prioritize the tasks, and make sure that they are attainable. To better manage your time management skills, you may think of making 3 lists: work, home, and personal. (2번에서 업무별로 우선순위를 세웠으면 업무를 어떤 스케줄대로 처리할 것인지 설정해야 함, 예를 들어 직장, 집, 개인 3가지 카테고리로 분류하여 업무 스케줄을 정하여 업무를 처리 함)

5. Avoid Stress: Stress often occurs when we accept more work than our ability. The result is that our body starts feeling tired which can affect our productivity. Instead, delegate tasks to your juniors and make sure to leave some time for relaxation. (너무 당연한 이야기지만 스트레스를 가능한 한 피해야 함, 업무 생산성을 저해하기 때문, 적절한 휴식을 통해 스트레스 해소는 필수)

6. Set up Deadlines: When you have a task at hand, set a realistic deadline and stick to it. Try to set a deadline few days before the task so that you can complete all those tasks that may get in the way. Challenge yourself and meet the deadline. Reward yourself for meeting a difficult challenge. (각각의 업무에 대해 마감일을 설정하여 업무를 처리하도록 함, 마감일을 지켜 업무를 처리하는 도전과 노력을 기울일 때 업무 생산성이 향상 됨) 

7. Avoid Multitasking: Most of us feel that multitasking is an efficient way of getting things done but the truth is that we do better when we focus and concentrate on one thing. Multitasking hampers productivity and should be avoided to improve time management skills. (한 번에 여러개의 업무를 처리하려고 하면 집중도가 떨어지기 때문에 일을 할 때는 한 업무에만 집중하여 처리, 많은 사람들이 동시에 여러가지 업무를 수행할 수 있다고 생각하지만 실제로는 업무 효율이 떨어짐) 

8. Start Early: Most of the successful men and women have one thing in common. They start their day early as it gives them time to sit, think, and plan their day. When you get up early, you are more calm, creative, and clear-headed. As the day progresses, your energy levels starts going down which affects your productivity and you don’t perform as well. (하루를 일찍 시작하는 것이 좀 더 효율적이고 창의적이며 상쾌한 정신으로 업무를 수행할 수 있게 됨) 

9. Take Some Breaks: Whenever you find yourself for 10-15 minutes, take a break. Too much stress can take toll on your body and affect your productivity. Take a walk, listen to some music or do some quick stretches. The best idea is to take off from work and spend time with your friends and family. (업무를 진행하며 중간 중간 적절한 휴식을 취해야 함. 휴식을 취하지 않고 계속해서 일을 하는 것은 스트레스 증가와 생산성 감소로 이어지기 때문에 산책이나 음악을 듣거나 스트레칭을 하는 등의 휴식을 가져야 함. 가장 좋은 것은 친구나 가족들과 시간을 보내는 것)

10. Learn to say No: Politely refuse to accept additional tasks if you think that you’re already overloaded with work. Take a look at your ‘To Do’ list before agreeing to take on extra work. (이미 하고 있는 업무가 많음에도 불구하고 또 다시 업무가 주어지는 상황이 생긴다면 적절하게 No!라고 이야기 할 수 있어야 함, 직장생활을 하다보면 이것이 쉽지 않지만 적절하게 기준을 세워두고 업무량을 조절하는 것이 시간관리에 있어 굉장히 중요)
