The thought of approaching death overwhelms us all. When we push Mondays through to Fridays, we are left with a feeling that our time’s rushing out. Even if we are overwhelmed at the tasks facing us, we get a rude shock. There aren’t enough hours in the day! If you too get that chill down your spine, knowing how to make most of your time will set you easy.
Learn Ten Mind-boggling Ways to Pick More Time:-
a. Write down your goals and aspirations, both short and long-term. When you know what to achieve and why you want to achieve it your job is made easy.
b. Prioritize your goals. You’ll be more productive and profitable if you identify and focus on the priority areas to your business. Work on the fundamentals first. Take action, build strong foundations and the rest should follow.
c. Make notes on your work planner and set aside a chunk of time for your priority actions. That will keep you updated and stop the butterflies in your stomach while you’re approaching deadline.
d. Good support systems save you time. Create effective filing systems, systems for management information and communication.
e. Learn how to say ‘no’ creatively and productively, it is better to check your schedule before committing to anything new. Don’t allow others to divert you from your objectives.
f. When you are up against a long-term plan, delegate, even if you can do it faster and better. It will save you time in the future, and if done appropriately can motivate your staff, boost their morale and help them develop their skills.
g. At times, do some ‘reality check’ stuffs. Will your current activity have a positive outcome, or are you doing it to avoid something else? Will doing the task take you closer to your goals? If you are doing something efficiently that should not be done at all, you are wasting your time.
h. Repeat your success stories. Remember the last big task you have completed and that too with all that flair and finesse, so that you have more fun in your holiday! What strategies and techniques did you employ that made you so effective and focused? What about repeating them!
i. Effective time management is about life management! Schedule personal activities, so you make time for family, friends, your health and entertainment because having a balanced life relieves stress and increases energy levels.
j. Face the day with more discipline and well-organized habits. At the end of the working day, tidy your desk, make notes about what needs doing tomorrow and prioritize those tasks. That will set you for the next morning.
No one says he/she has enough time, while in reality dreamers get the same share of time as the doers. We all have exactly the same number of hours per day that were allotted to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson or Albert Einstein.
