How to prioritise and manage one's time and responsibilities

Prioritising and managing one's time and responsibilities can help to reduce stress and increase productivity. Here are some strategies to help with time management:

Make a To-Do list: Write down all of your tasks and responsibilities, and prioritize them based on importance and urgency. This can help you to stay organized and focused.

Set achievable goals: Set specific, measurable, and achievable goals for each day or week, and break down larger projects into smaller, manageable tasks.

Use a time-tracking tool: Use a time-tracking tool to keep track of how you're spending your time, and to identify any time-wasters.



Eliminate distractions: Eliminate distractions such as social media, email, and other digital devices, and create a quiet, distraction-free work environment.

Practice the Pomodoro technique: Use the Pomodoro technique to work in focused, 25-minute increments with 5-minute breaks in between.

Take breaks: Regularly taking breaks can help you to recharge and reduce stress.

Delegate tasks: Delegate tasks to others, when possible, to lighten your workload.

Stay organised: Keep your workspace organized and tidy, and create a system for filing and accessing information.

Learn to say no: Be mindful of your boundaries, and learn to say no to tasks and responsibilities that are not a priority.

Be flexible: Be flexible with your schedule and be willing to adjust your plans as necessary.

By implementing these time-management strategies, you can reduce stress, increase productivity, and improve your overall quality of life. Remember, everyone is different, so it's important to find the time-management techniques that work best for you and to make time-management a regular part of your routine.

That’s what happened on Wednesday morning, when an advertisement designed to show off Bard’s capability showed that the chatbot came up with an astonishingly wrong result, only to be quickly called out by the global audience.  Photo by Daniel Romero on Unsplash In a promotional ad running on Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s blog, the chatbot was asked how to explain to a nine-year-old what the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered.
