Think about whether or not you can reschedule a task or event for another time, if you feel the task is important or necessary, what you can delegate to another person, etc. Be sure to monitor if you've allotted yourself enough time for certain activities. For example, did you give yourself enough time to commute to and from work or do you find that you're often late or racing to get there on time?

For example, if you find that you are consistently arriving to work 15 minutes late, then your revised schedule should add an additional 20 minutes of commute time.
