10. Time Management & Prioritization
In a previous role, I worked 10 to 12 hours a day. I became used to this schedule and felt I couldn’t complete my work in less time. Then, I challenged myself to finish working in eight hours. Whatever was left over could wait until the next day.

I quickly adapted to this new schedule and realized I could get most, if not all, of my urgent work done daily in eight hours.

This was a powerful lesson on time management and prioritization.

I can always find ways to fill up my time. By reducing the hours I allowed myself to work, I found myself more productive during those hours by adopting better time management methods.

That included blocking off time on my calendar to work on projects and prioritizing tasks based on urgency and deadline.

Timewatch’s research on time management in 2022 revealed that 90% of people believe better time management would increase productivity, and 86% say it would improve focus on work.

Personally, time management has aided me in accomplishing more at work with less time and effort, reducing stress, and improving my work-life balance.

This also has shown my managers that I’m bahamas phone number material being efficient with my time. They can trust that I’m working during working hours and will get my work done correctly and by the due date, proving an ability to continue to manage my time if promoted.

With AI-based marketing tools, HubSpot’s Marketing Hub encourages time management and prioritization by personalizing messaging and automating campaigns. Tools like this help me prioritize creative, thoughtful, strategic tasks that require my time and let automation handle the busy work.

Experience and skill can get me a role, but soft skills can get me a promotion.
