These 10 time management tips will put more time in your day.

2. Decide what You Want

3. Stay Flexible
Life happens. Allow time for interruptions, distractions and opportunities.
4. Energize Yourself in 5 Minutes
Five minute power breaks can invigorate and boost energy levels. Take plenty of during day. You can stretch, daydream, get out of the office, motivate yourself by reading quotes or browse through a catalog. The important thing is to disconnect and unplug for what you where doing.
5. Kill Your Inner Perfectionist
Hey, I like my ducks in a row, too, but I finally realized that the row doesn't need to be perfectly straight.
6. Practice the Powerful Word NO
When you plan your day and focus on your goals, you'll have a realistic look at your available time. This makes it easier for you to say NO when an unimportant task comes up.
7. Work within Your Peak Zones
Do you know the time of day where you perform at your best? Perhaps it's the morning. Maybe you like the nights better. Do your higher priority task during your peak
8. Set Your Priorities
Not all activities and task are equal. Use the 80/20 rule when prioritizing your task. Select the top 20 percent that will bring you the highest reward. Put those activities at the top of your list.
9. Join Procrastination Anonymous
Procrastination often happens when you feel overwhelmed on where to begin. Invest time to take your bigger project and break into smaller more manageable tasks. Break those tasks into smaller 15 minute chunks. You can fit those smaller task chunks easier into your day and will see progress happen much faster.
10. Give Yourself a High Five
Even the smallest wins deserve a celebration. Before you begin a task, promise yourself a reward when you finish. Then keep that promise. You earned it.
