Most of us struggle with time management.

Personally, I have for years. I used to constantly feel overwhelmed by my to-do list, often working late into the night to catch up. I felt like I was always behind, no matter how much I worked.

But what changed for me was realizing that effective time management isn't about doing more, but about prioritizing what truly matters. And as soon as that clicked, I started to understand that overcoming time management issues wasn't that hard—I was just doing the wrong thing.

Here's what I should have done instead:

Set clear priorities and focus on the most important tasks first.

By identifying the tasks that have the greatest impact and tackling them first, I was able to make significant progress without feeling overwhelmed. This approach allowed me to manage my time more effectively and feel more in control of my workload.
