Bright Life Coaching

Ascertain the Problem Areas:

1. Track your daily activities using a calendar or diary. Record the activity and time spent on the activity. Include business and personal activities.
2. Notice where you waste time.
3. Set a time management outcome eg. reduce stress, increase productivity, increase work satisfaction or harmony.

Use These Time Management Tools

• Make a plan each morning of tasks for that day only
• Use Outlook’s calendar and reminders
• Prioritise  A, B, & C tasks
• Do unpleasant tasks first
• Define what is urgent and important. ( what is urgent isn’t always important!)
• Complete similar tasks at the same time eg phone calls and emails
• Define and limit the time to be spent on each task
• Reduce checking emails to once or twice daily
• Keep phone calls short.
• Go for progress not perfection
• Avoid over-committing
• Outsource the tasks you dislike and struggle with
• Stop for regular scheduled breaks.
• De-clutter and organize space for smooth operations.
• Remember the 80/20 rule. 80% reward comes from 20% effort
• Review achievements weekly to ascertain efficiency

Fail to plan and you plan to fail!
