3.Prioritize
The goal is to have as few things under “urgent and important” as possible. Those cause stress when they pile up. If you manage your time well, you’ll probably spend most of your time on “not urgent, but important” — that’s where you can get the most useful things done and keep from feeling overwhelmed later.
4.Schedule Your Day
Once you know just how long things take and what’s most important, start to plan things out. Be flexible. Do you get more done in the late afternoon or early morning? Do you like to have your evenings free to relax? Are you more likely to do yardwork if you have a chunk of time to do it all at once or spread it out over the course of a week? Think about what works best for you, and don’t be afraid to change things up.
