HOW TO: Manage your time!

I think I have received questions from over 100 readers asking how I manage my time… 1) I never sleep… not that you should follow in my footsteps. 2) I am quite organized with my time – which I think is hereditary (my dad manages to do so much in a day) I also live on Calendars, agendas, organizers etc (if you ever don’t know what to get me for my birthday, get an organizer :) )

I’m a huge fan of Filofax – I use 3 of their organizers in PINK leather (one is also my blog diary!) They have some chic designs that have just come out & have an exciting collaboration coming out with Alice Temperley (can’t wait!)

Another brand I love? Pricier… but I also love Smythson – (love their recent collaboration with Jonathan Saunders which is worth checking out!)

now, the question is… How do YOU organize your time? share below!

  1. I’m a blogger, a university student and I’m about to start a bath & bodycare business so time management is important to me but, I’m naturally an unorganised person so I’m forcing myself to keep my engagements and important dates in a diary and I’ll also be creating a vision board to keep me motivated and to remind me of why I’m doing all of this.

    If I’m in the mood to write my schedules and reminders I use my Smythson notebook, love the feathery light papers!
    But mostly I use my Blackberry Calender, I tend to forget ALOT so it always buzzes me when there’s something to do, events, birthdays, to-do-lists…etc

    I plan my whole day the previous night. Make a to do list and stick to it! Plus I think its really important to prioritise (especially if you’re a student like me with loads of deadlines to meet)

    • I’m definitely going to try that! I always make a mental note of what I want to get done the next day but it NEVER gets done so, I think having my tasks on a piece of paper for me see will motivate me to get things into motion. Thanks!

  4. I love the Moleskine notebooks, especially in pink

    I was wondering the same thing:) I manage my time using a diary,”post it” and a notepad.Every day I make a to do list and write everything I have to complete for the day which is very helpful.Since I’m a final year University student and need to keep track of my assignments. BTW Tala when are you finishing University?!?!

    So I just did a little bit of research…and apparently, filofax is sold at the bookstore Magrudy’s in the UAE!!! :D
    Only thing is, they don’t have these fun, colorful organizers :( ( I seriously wish brands would start selling their most stylish products here…and not bring the boring stuff!!
    I’m determined to find one of these…at least a notebook, because I like to write out lists of things i do and tick them off as I go….

    • Tala Samman says:

      you should tell Magrudys!!

    • I am a FiloFAX addict, I even started blogging about it.. and I live between the UAE and UK and I’ll tell you that the better source of FiloFAX organisers is Kinokuniya Bookstore in Dubai mall. The may get the newer stuff a little later than the UK but they have the best and biggest selection! :)

  7. They also have the FiloFAX flex but not the Apex though!
