5 ways to be more effective with your time

How many of you have ever wished you could manipulate time?  I sure have.  I would get everything checked off my to-do list and maybe even sneak in a nap or two when I get tired.  It would be great!

Unfortunately, we’re stuck with just 24 hours in a day and it’s up to us to use that time as effectively as possible.  If you struggle with effective time use, or just want some tips, check out this video on Techrepublic.com.  It covers 5 ways you can be more effective with your time.

He makes some great and very practical points in the video, some that I’ve personally found to be true in my own life.  For example, using the time I spend in the car effectively has really helped me.  Besides listening to ebooks and podcasts as the video suggests, I enjoy listening to nothing at all every once in a while.  It gives me time to think and organize my thoughts without any distractions (besides traffic of course).  In fact, some of my best ideas have come to me while driving in silence.

Do you have any tricks for effective time use?  I’d love to hear them.
