“Time is the most precious element of human existence. The successful person knows how to put energy into time and how to draw success from time.” Denis Waitley
Everyone asks if I have a class on time management: the short answer = no. A longer answer: everyone looks at time differently and approaches how to make the best use of it based on their own interests and styles. But, no matter how you approach it, using your time wisely can be a key element in achieving success. And while everyone is unique, when working it can be helpful to have a few general rules, such as:
· Set goals and schedules
· Complete the most important tasks first
· Respond to email 3 times a day (rather than all the time)
· Take breaks
· Prioritize
· Leave a buffer between tasks
· Make sure you have the right tools for the job
· Wake up early
· Delegate
· Learn to say “n0”
· Remain flexible to be able to handle emergencies
· Keep a time log so you know what works
Make up your own rules to manage your time effectively today.
Denis E. Waitley (b. 1933): American motivational speaker, writer and consultant
