Event managers may seem like they are always super busy, and it’s likely because they are. The real skill within event management is being skilled at organization and time management. If you’re not skilled in these particular areas, then you might need some ways to improve upon these skills, and that’s why Fun Planners, experts in Florida corporate events, is going to explore four time management tips to help make you a more efficient event manager.
Find Out How and When You’re Most Productive.
Some people call this your productivity style. You want to make sure that you’re optimizing your own talents. For example, if you’re more of a visual learner, then you might want to capitalize on that and make sure you organize by visuals. Are you a list-maker? Then, you should keep a notebook with you at all times with all of your open tasks or get organized with an app like Evernote or Trello.
Generate a Schedule as Opposed to a To-Do List.
Once you’ve determined your productivity style, you need to start on your time management. In order to achieve optimal time management, you will need to generate a schedule. While a to-do list can help you plan out your tasks for the day, you will have to decide as you go when to do them and in what order of priority, which will take additional time and may neglect some important, priority tasks. Make sure to schedule all of your most priority tasks in the beginning of the day.
Schedule All Of Your Tasks.
Time management is all about ensuring you’re getting all of your tasks completed within a specific amount of time. The only way you can actually achieve this is to schedule all of your tasks. Having a complete schedule for your day will ensure that you control all of your daily tasks that include work-related tasks, social-related tasks, and personal-related tasks. You should even consider giving yourself enough time to update your schedule for unexpected emergencies.
Give Yourself Bonus Time.
Find ways throughout your day that you can accomplish two things at once. Do you have a long commute to work? Find an educational podcast to listen to to expand your skill set. If you’re at a place with a long period of wait involved, make sure you utilize that time to get something done off of your list. Make sure you optimize each part of your day in case you need to pull double duty.
