Time Management Tips for Coaches and Trainers

Here are techniques you can try to help improve your time management:

Plan Ahead

At the end of each day, take 15 minutes to clear your study space or desk and put together a list of the task you need to get done in order if importance. You can also make a list of the key points from your course that you need to go over.
Having a set list of tasks helps keep you intentional about what you work on. It effectively lays out what you must complete – all tasks that pop up outside of it are secondary – and if your mind does wander, a quick glance at your list reminds you of what you should be doing. And of course, keeping a to-do list allows you to enjoy one of life’s unique pleasures: visualizing what you want to achieve, and then striking your way through it.
You’ll feel better sitting down at your clean desk that next day, with a clear plan of action already written out.

Prioritize Tasks

When ranking your tasks, you should always prioritize what’s most important to you. Figure out which tasks and activities are high-value, which will have the most positive effect on you, your work, and your team.

Take Breaks

Throughout the working day, it’s important to take frequent breaks to ensure optimal productivity and to keep your mental, emotional and physical states at peak levels. There are many research-backed health, wellness and performance benefits of taking breaks too.

Eliminate Distractions

Start paying attention to the number of times someone or something interrupts you when you’re in the middle of studying or working through your course material. You also want to keep tabs on the number of self-created interruptions. For example, how many time do you think you pick up your phone and scroll through Facebook or Instagram? Probably more than you think! It will be a massive exercise in will power, but you should shut your door and turn off your phone. You may consider blocking out a time or two during your day for emails and scrolling through your feed that way you can dedicate the maximum amount of time possible to your studying and other activities.
