Have you ever felt that you cannot catch up on the tasks to your to-do list? As a result, feeling totally overwhelmed while being swamped with work? To avoid this, time management is needed: the main tool that helps us stay organized. Our resources, such as forces and time, are not unlimited and people have to be able to manage them carefully.
Time management will assist with:
Prioritizing your tasks
Construction is a fast-paced environment with a vast variety of day-to-day tasks to accomplish. Additional responsibilities are often unexpectedly introduced leaving you feeling overwhelmed with multiple activities to accomplish in a limited time. Prioritizing tasks provides the ability to focus on what is important and reduce the stress of the unknown. A good methodology to accomplish this is the Eisenhower’s Urgent/Important Principle which helps you quickly identify the activities that you should focus on, as well as the ones you should ignore.
Organizing & delivering work on time
Creating a detailed project plan with a corresponding schedule sets expectations across all levels of the project but most importantly, it can provide solid support adhering to timelines, especially if combined with weekly or bi-weekly project status meetings.
In the construction industry, time management is vitally important because all processes within the business include numerous deadlines that have to be met with many different teams that have to work collaboratively. It can be compared with an anthill, with numerous individuals working on one entire project. If something did not go according to the plan, everyone in the business chain would have to wait, thus losing precious time.
