Ok your time is precious, so lets not waste it. Here are the 5 most useful time managment lessons. Read these and stop worrying.
- STOP TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING AT ONCE.
Take each moment as it comes and decide (quickly) what the most important task at hand is. Get on with it and don’t do anything else until it is done.
- STOP TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF.
Delegate, hire people and ask for help.
- LEARN TO SAY NO.
Decide what you want to or are prepared to do and say “no” to everything else. Don’t worry too much about what others will think if you say no. It is acceptable. Suggesting someone else who could do the job might help.
- CONTROL THE TELEPHONE.
Use your answering machine and return calls at your convenience.
Give your friends and business associates a time to call you.
Ask people to call you back.
Give a specific time to call back when leaving a message.
- DON’T PUT THINGS OFF.
Get the tings you don’t want to do over with. Make it the day’s priority or the
first thing you tackle. Divide large tasks into smaller, more manageable
ones. Reward yourself for completing them deciding first what your reward is so that you have something to look forward to.
