W. A. Ward Dear English Teachers!

4. make a daily schedule. 
You’ll be more efficient. Look at tomorrow’s 
appointments and meetings. Mark deadlines in your calendar. Then review your 
to-do list and schedule time for your to-do’s. Remember, only 70% of your 
day should be scheduled. The other 30% will be filled with interruptions and 
emergencies.
5. multi-task the details. 
Cook dinner while answering phone calls. File while 
watching TV. Check your e-mail while listening to voice mail messages.
6. Organise your surroundings. 
The Wall Street Journal
reported that the 
average employer/employee can spend an hour per day looking for misplaced 
papers. You’ll save time if you don’t have to look for your notes.
7. analyse everything you do for next week.
Try to find a quicker and more 
efficient way to do things. Work with a friend or co-worker shortly to come up 
with ideas.
8. Read it better.
Learn to skim information. Carry reading materials with you 
wherever you go. Consider taking a speed reading course.
Don’t forget “A” students aren’t the smartest in the class …. but they usually 
have great time management skills and self-discipline.
Follow the time management rules and enjoy benefits: 
Efficient Successful Healthy
post-reading Time: 10 min.
aim: 
practising the learned vocabulary in speech.
3. 
in small groups, ask students to discuss time management tips. 
possible answers
: We think that the best tip of time management is to keep a 
daily to-do list, because it helps you find out what is the most important and what 
is the least important for you. 
4. 
Ask students to choose one of the statements and write about 60 words on: 
how will you follow time management in your future profession?
