This week Ping is here to talk about the importance of time management. Juggling being a mother, podcast host, artist and business owner, Ping knows everything there is to know about effective time management, but this learning only came through experience. In this episode, Ping shares her insights on time management, including some bad habits you might be guilty of and others that you just may not be aware of. She also shares her top tips on effective time management so that you can make the most of your day and reap the positive rewards on your career as well as your physical and mental health.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Ping shares a method she has developed to improve her time management. One that is centred around priorities and how asking yourself some hard questions might help you free up some time.  Using basic tried and tested methods can help immensely with time management. As Ping explains, calendars, scheduling tools and diaries exist for a reason, and, if used correctly, can be extremely useful.  Do you ever track your time during the day or do you always just find yourself running out of time. Ping started making notes on what she was actually doing during the day and the results shocked her.  Ping talks about the importance of having good time management, not just on your career and work, but on your physical and mental health.  BEST MOMENTS “Everybody has the same twenty-four hours, so how can we learn from others and manage that time better?” “Do you want to live to work, or work to live?” “Find the task you want to do the least and do it first, this will help you feel a sense of achievement and help you realise that all your tasks are achievable.”    ABOUT THE PODCAST Botany Works Artist Podcast - a podcast created by artists for artists, illustrators, creatives, and aspiring designers and art lovers.
