Time Management Tips From Real Women

I thought it would be interesting to get time management tips from real women. All too often the famous women featured in the media have a lot of support and staff.

2. Why does this current system right for you given life right now? Or, more simply, what’s good about it?
3. How does your current system fall short? Or, what could be improved?

As a result, here are some lessons I’ve learned from reviewing their systems:

1. Here are four key time management lessons I’ve learned from surveying a variety of systems:
2. There are many ways to keep track of events and tasks. The best system is the one that works for you.
3. Highly personalized systems mean that your system may need to evolve and adapt as your life changes.
4. No system is perfect. Rather than searching for the perfect system, tweak the parts of the system you’re using that don’t work for you.
5. All good time management systems require you to regularly invest some time to think and plan.

Now, check out these time management tips from real women below.

And, don’t forget, I have many more time-management resources for you.
