Have the Most Productive Day EVER With These Time-Management Tips

Even though we can't make the days longer, we kind of can. Get out the door faster by planning your outfit the night before. Check the weather, maybe go on Pinterest for some inspiration, and lay your clothes out. This will save you at least 15 minutes in the morning, plus you won't have to think as hard before your first cup of coffee.

More often than not, managing your time is difficult because you’ve spread yourself too thin. And once you do that, you're stuck because you feel compelled to follow through on your commitments. Do yourself a favor and don’t be afraid to allow a day or two more than you think you need. If something comes up that you weren’t expecting (aka life), you’ll be able to manage it better with the extra buffer time.

Most people believe that they can multitask, but scientists have not found that to be the case. Rather than doing many things at once, we are actually switching our attention from one thing to the other extremely fast. Give your brain a break and revert back to the one-at-a-time strategy; researchers are confident you’ll be better off.
