Time Management at Manager Tools

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

Time management is tackled in an excellent 2-part podcast from Manager Tools. (See bottom of this post for links).

Mark and Mike detail a step-by-step process as follows:

  1. Write out everything you did at work over the past 2-3 weeks from memory. No looking at your calendar or notes, or Outlook, your Palm, etc.
  2. Gather material to help you to identify your key priorities.
  3. Analyze the extent to which you are currently spending your time in those areas.
  4. Start to schedule time on your calendar to spend on your top priority.

Essential listening, and well worth 45 minutes of your precious time.

I’ve now got some time blocked out on my calendar next week to work on what I need to be working on, all I have to do now is be strong and stick to it.
