However, there just never seems to be enough time to get to it all.  To get to your to-do-list. Be active on social media. Spend time with the family. Read that book you just never get time for. The ideal is to get to everything that needs to be done in a day and still have enough time (and energy) to do what you love. The answer? Effective time management skills. There are many ways to improve your time management skills. As well as lots of digital tools to help you with this. Project management tools like Trello, Asana, Scoro, Monday and many more. Online calendars and diaries like Calendly, Time and date or just plain old Google calendars.

Time management tools

Google has a lot of very handy tools attached to your Google account, that you might not be using. The following are great tools to help you manage your time more effectively and they are all free, attached to your gmail account:

  • Email
  • Drive for saving important documents or images for easy reference
  • Google docs for immediate sharing and combined editing
  • Google sheets also for immediate sharing and shared editing
  • Maps
  • Contacts
  • Translate

Developing effective time management skills could be life-changing. Getting to everything you need to do without the frustration, and you might even have some time left over at the end of the day. Sometimes it can be an easy fix. Finding ways to outsource whatever is taking you too much time. Or using tools that are already available to you. A small change might leave you with a whole lot of time.
