Time management is a branch of psychology, whose main task is to teach a person to separate the important things from the unimportant. Undoubtedly, it is becoming difficult to organise your time in a monotonous domestic or professional life. For example, once you have started something important, the phone rings and a friend is excited to tell you some big news or you start spending your time in social networking while your primary task was to compile an important email. Time management allows you to avoid such situations and maintain some much needed focus.

The main instrument of subordination of time is planning. Try to write down your thoughts or plans and hang them at any prominent area of your workplace or home. There is long-term and short-term planning. Long-term is a list of things you need to do in a week or two, short-term is something that needs to be implemented in a single day. First of all, decide your long-term plans. Think about what needs to be done this week. Write down what comes to your mind in a notebook. Think about purchasing any product or making a payment for the utility bills, etc. You will not forget to do anything after making a list of tasks for the week.
