Time management is an incredibly difficult skill to master. If you happen to have mental health challenges it can be even harder. Unfortunately, unless you have access to an assistant who can follow you around 24/7, it’s a skill most of us need to perfect. In fact, figuring out how to manage your time can actually be pretty damned empowering. Of course that doesn’t make it any easier to learn.
Personally speaking, I am the worst at time management. I struggle with it on a daily basis. My work ethic is constantly battling my mental health challenges for control of my time. As a result, if I do not have some type of system in place, I can lose hours of time to rumination, distraction, or other distorted thought patterns. I am also trying to make a go of a freelance career. This makes developing good time management skills pretty crucial. I have tried what feels like a billion methods in an attempt to unlock the magical time management formula for me. In an effort to save you time and frustration, I’ve listed a few of the more successful strategies I’ve found below. Obviously everyone is different, and I can’t promise any of the following choices will work for you. However, they are each worth a shot. If you’ve found a strategy that I haven’t mentioned, please let us know!

If an hour-by-hour breakdown of your day is helpful, you can do that! If keeping a weekly view of your agenda with daily to-dos is better, you can do that instead! For those who love pen-and-paper organization, bullet journalling might be the key to time management. Read more.
