Learning to manage yourself is an important first step in effective time management. You need to learn how to deal with the various tasks that need to be done both now and in the future. Luckily, it is possible to manage everything you need to do in a practical and easy way with these time management strategies. I call them the four Ds of self management. They are:  Do it - This means the tasks must be dealt with immediately and it can only be done by you alone. It is best to schedule to complete these at the earliest opportunity.  Delegate it - These tasks need to be done but are not the best use of your time. These tasks should be passed on to someone who is better suited for the job.  Dump it - If something isn’t important to you or really isn’t worth doing you should dump it.  Defer it - If something needs doing but you don’t have to do it straight away, you should defer it.
