Once in a lifetime, we all make our timetable to achieve our goal and try to be more productive, While making a timetable we understood that we spend most of the time on unwanted things. I was in 10th standard when I made my first timetable and divide all the subjects into days and time while making the timetable I was so enthusiastic about a study that I have almost believed that I am going to get above 90%. But while executing that timetable I faced so many challenges and within a few days, I stopped following that routine. We all are enthusiastic and ready to do hard work to achieve our goals and we all try hard, but sometimes we get failed and that’s because of wrong guidance. We all can utilize our time and enhance our personal and professional life by managing our time in the right way.
According to the University of ST Augustine, Here are a few proven time management methods that we are following in Skeletos to be more productive and to maintain the satisfying life of employees.
1) Pareto Analysis (a.k.a., the 80/20 rule)
80\20 rule is invited by the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto
In any task, 20% of your efforts are responsible for 80% of your achievement. The main goal behind this method is to prioritize your work depending upon the deadline and importance. You can this rule in your lifestyle as well, for example, If you are willing to lose weight then you can avoid 20% unhealthy food like pizza, pasta, burger and without any exercise or any extra efforts you will lose weight

This method is very easy, you have to divide your task to achieve a particular goal once you have done, distribute them and set a particular time to complete them. Each task is called Pomodoro. Make sure that you avoid all distractions like your phone calls, social media, etc and once you complete one task, then only move to another task. Before moving to another task make sure you recap the previous task and once you are done with the current task revise it to check the quality and to avoid mistakes

“work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” In simple words, if you give more time you give it to complete the task you will need more time to complete a task. For example, if you decide to make ppt in 3 hours then you will complete that in 3 hours but if decide it to make in one hour then you will be able to complete that in one hour.
