Q&A: Time management skills – how to build them?
I have the worst time management skills. I am constantly putting stuff off to the last minute. At work, I wait until something HAS to be done before I really get going.
Does anyone know of any good tips or advice for combating this issue?
Thank you,

start first take a break later. quit cheating your self out of breaks. I know you like to hammer down and crank out the work, but I promise it will be easier if you just relax a little bit.

2 Suggestions.
One set daily goals: realistic goals you can reach that day, reward yourself if you accomplish them, punish if you do not, start easy and start making them harder as you actually start to focus on a task now instead of later.
Two, for one week, right done everything you do during a day and the amount of time it takes to do it, (bathroom, get a drink, text, google, whatever). At the end of the week, look at each day and see what was productive, how much time was wasted, what can be eliminated or moved to a break period.
I like to buckle down and work hard for about 2 hours, then take a 15 minute break doing whatever to recharge.
