           Using Calendars:-  
To manage all of the things that you have to do, it’s important to organize your reminders into a small number of calendars and lists that can be reviewed regularly. A calendar (paper or electronic) is the obvious place to record meetings, appointments, and due dates. Calendars allow you to design your day, and dedicate your time to important assignments.  For people with multiple responsibilities, an annual calendar organized by areas of responsibility (e.g., budget, personnel, schedule, planning, and miscellaneous) may be especially valuable. For each of these areas, one can list the major responsibilities month by month and thereby see at a glance what tasks must be completed in a given month of the year. Important appointments should be recorded immediately. It is beneficial if your calendar includes additional information about a task or event, such as deadlines, locations, or brief notes. A calendar is one of the most important tools you can use to manage your time effectively, and stay organized.

Practical Illustration

Kevin was very disorganized. His desk was covered with various papers, office supplies, and even a half-eaten doughnut he hadn't finished for breakfast that morning. Kevin soon realized that his work was beginning to suffer, so Kevin decided to make a much needed change. He asked his colleague Rob if he had any advice.

The first piece of advice was to de-clutter his workspace. Any trash was tossed away, and all files were put in the proper place. After that, they made sure it wouldn't happen again by organizing Kevin's work schedule. By tracking his projects and assignments, Kevin could better prepare for them, and wouldn't get overwhelmed again. Now that Kevin is organized, he can now work easily and effectively.
