Time Management Tips for Productivity 🕒
1. Set Clear Goals 🎯
Start by defining specific, measurable, and time-bound objectives. Use the SMART criteria to ensure your goals are achievable and meaningful.
2. Prioritize Tasks 📌
Apply the Eisenhower Matrix to categorize tasks by urgency and importance. Focus on high-priority items first to maximize efficiency.

- 10:30-11:30: Meetings
- 12:00-13:00: Break
4. Take Regular Breaks ☕
Adopt the Pomodoro Technique (25 minutes work + 5 minutes break) to sustain focus and prevent burnout.
5. Eliminate Distractions 🚫
Disable notifications, use apps like Focus@Will for background music, and create a dedicated workspace.
