I took following steps: 1. Assessed task urgency. 2. Ranked tasks by importance. 3. Scheduled focused time for priorities. 4. Delegated less critical tasks. 5. Stayed flexible for unexpected changes.

The moment you choose Travel & Tourism as your Career one has to have a clear mind of being on toes 24x7. Prioritizing your work is key to completing daily goals which connects to your achievements. I always prefer to list down all the tasks & I choose to close on easy one's first because sometimes easy things take up of your whole time whereas for difficult task our mind is already prepared that it is going to take time. We can follow below easy steps: * List down the tasks & mark them from low to high * Conducting opening & closing meeting to understand the action plan and task status * Set real time frames according to the task Make your mind prepared for season time & also you have to relax whenever you are getting a breather.

Before getting started, recognize how you best stay organized. If it’s through a project management program such as Notion or Trello, test them out so you can have a base where you can collect your information, organize your tasks for each client and supplier, and set deadlines or timelines for completing the tasks. You can also use Google Drive or Dropbox to keep your files secure and organized. Working off a task list daily and weekly can assist in reaching the goals you set for yourself.

Family and office tasks have to be prioritized. Only you know what has to be important without affecting either party. No sacrifices need to be made, but time the tasks effectively , so that you are not overburdened for late submissions. While family needs assurance of presence and love, office needs committment and completion towards tasks. Both can be given if you take the lead well.

One valuable tool is a project management tool. I find it more to the point than any calendar or planner, I have yet seen One I have found helpful is Asana. It’s more along the lines of an activity management system instead of a time management system. What I notice about just focusing on time is that it takes away the pleasure of the day and impacts your personal well-being. You are always thinking about how little time you have left to do all the when transitioning into a career of travel and tourism. If instead you just focus on taking care of the activities you have laid out, in priority order, you can make sure that you have time for your family, exercise, and hobbies.

Time is key. Who do you work for and when do they expect you to be available? Maintain a work/life balance. Be adaptable, but never give this all of you. Let those whom you report to or your clients what your hours are.

Since childhood, we have heard the famous phrase “time is money”. However, most of us do not understand its real value and thus, we are unable to achieve our goals in life. Sometimes, when we have a lot of work to do, it seems or we feel like time is running. When we are idle we think we have a lot of time. it is paramount to spend time on things that are important to you and bring you a sense of meaning and purpose. In my career as a Sales Person, i have learned to manage my time from the moment i wake up to the time i go back to bed. Every minute of my time matters. A 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 30 minutes waste will never be recovered. I have learned to have a calender of my work, to do list, prioritizing and creating time for my family.

You have to set boundaries because people/clients/friends etc don't see "travel" as work to them, as it's fun, leisure and interesting to them, so they don't think anything of asking you questions after hours or on weekends when you are trying to have time off.

In my business, I created a client welcome guide that outlines my working hours and what constitutes an after hours request. I note how long the client should expect to wait to receive a response for non-emergencies. Clients must check a box that they’ve read and understood the client welcome guide (along with my terms and conditions) in their client service agreement before I start working on their trip.

Setting boundaries are important. Working in this industry, I had two jobs, I could not let them cross over and I had to be respectful of my employers/clients and what I can do and when I can do it. Make sure you are getting paid for your services. You are a specialist at what you do and you are valuable. Never work for free.

You should work with your manager to make sure you understand your professional role and your limits. understand and keep to your organisation's policy on professional boundaries. As a salesperson handling a sensitive clientele portfolio who needs a lot of attention and would call any time. I had to be clear about my role and its limits, working hours and family time. It is important to be assertive and let clients know if they are behaving inappropriately.

En la industria del servicio, como todos saben, no hay horarios.

Absolutely, travel remains fundamentally either a luxury or a necessity as it has for years.

Im Tourismus zu arbeiten bedeutet lebenslanges Lernen und ein immer währendes Interesse am Weltgeschehen.

You have to keep learning because the world of travel changes rapidly.

The learning never stops.

Network, and social media a good way of connecting with like-minded individuals, however, attend as many industry events as you can, and meet the people who may be able to assist you.

Most people transitioning into tourism from another career are unaware that there are very few “overnight successes” it takes time, dedication, sacrifices and support to stay the course to obtain clarity and direction. Having another revenue stream is therefore advisable to give you financial stability whilst you develop Be prepared to ask for help / advice from experienced people and follow your gut when your making decisions Be aware that you’re going to make mistakes and learn from them, stay humble when success comes and remain loyal to your family, your friends ( your WHY!) and give back
