Step 10: Know when you need time management help and where to get it

"There are shelves of books at the library or bookstore that you can look at," O'Shea points out. Reading one of these books could help you evaluate your strategies and find areas with room for improvement. If you know that you are inclined toward time management problems, which is common for right-brained people, you should acknowledge that time planning may not be an inborn skill for you and that you may need help, says Kaufman. Consider locating a seminar or other means of organizational skills improvement and treat it as a skill to learn and revisit from time to time.
