Attend any management training program or management training course and the first tip that they will give you is - Planning. ‘ If you fail to plan, you plan to fail ’, goes an old saying. That is very much true in time management. Planning involves setting time limits to your tasks.   Prioritize your tasks. Obviously, you can’t do everything at once so decide on which task is most important and needs to be completed fastest. Also, set it right. For instance sometimes your personal tasks may coincide with your professional. It is up to you to decide as to which is more important; personal or professional. Or if both cannot be avoided, you can at least decide as to which can be postponed.
