Get organized and make a plan and work the plan.
I manage my time by using a daily planner, or simply making a list of what i have to accomplish that day. I usually schedule the things i don't like to do early in the day so i can get them out of the way. By making a list and checking them off as you go, you feel like you are getting things done. Good luck and set realistic goals.
1. Take a few minutes right now to write down everything you want to accomplish in the next week or so. Then look realistically at your list, and toss the unimportant, then break it all down. If you put down "clean the kitchen" then that is broken down into wash the dishes, put away stray food items, toss the trash, clean the fridge, etc. Decide whether you want it all done at the same time, or whether you only have time to do one or two things on the list at a time.
2. Each night, take a couple of minutes to plan for the next day. Review your list of what needs to get done, and make sure you got everything on today's list finished. find your clothes for tomorrow, set your coffee, basically do as much as you can to make your morning smoother.
3. I did the same thing just before I left work as well. 10 minutes before I left, I would sit and make a list of the most important things that needed to get done the next day, clean off my desk, turn on my voicemail, and grab the out going mail.
4. When you are watching tv, get up during the commercials and get a couple things done. I usually change/fold/put away laundry, pick up a few stray items in the living room, empty the trash, put away a few dishes, etc.
One does not 'manage time'. You can manage yourself and get better organized.
Office supply stores carry "organizers" that when used properly help one get better organized thereby making better use of their time.
