Here we are nearing the end of May. Unbelieveable! I can't believe how fast time flies. I hope you're working to tame the time tiger every day, like I am. It's tough, isn't it? I mean, you start out the day with an iron fisted grip on everything you plan to accomplish and, by noon, you feel it starting to slip away... Interruptions, phone calls, email, internet, etc. all try to steal your well-laid out plans until, suddenly, it's time to wrap it up for the day and your list is only half done.
Well, here are a few suggestions that work pretty well for me:
1. Do the most unpleasant tasks FIRST. While I still have my early morning energy and enthusiasm, I tackle and do those things I really don't want to do. Then I can better enjoy the rest of my day.
2. Use time-blocking to carve out specific 15-30 minute intervals you assign to accomplish specific things.
3. Manage unwanted interruptions until you've completed the task. Let calls go to voicemail. Log out of your email. Do not surf the web. Are you really that much more productive checking and answering email every 15 minutes all day long? I don't think so...
Of course, there are many other little tricks to time management, but these three seem to be the main helps for my day. Hope it helps you, too!
I look forward to your comments and referrals anytime. Let's make it a great week!
