Managing Your Time 20 More Tips
Managing Your Time 20 More Tips
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group™
Every day we hear someone say, “I am so busy. I just don't have enough time to get things done!” And I imagine each of us has fallen into that same feeling from time to time. Are you a good manager of your time? Could you improve upon your use of this limited and precious item called time? If we are honest, the responses are probably “No and Yes.”
As part of my business coaching and strategic thinking and planning consulting work, we do work on improving time management of individuals and of teams. We search to find more time by becoming more efficient and much more conscious about how we spend our time. Here are 20 more tips I have found to be helpful in managing one's time.
Determine the time of day you are most productive and use that time to accomplish difficult tasks.
Prepare a TO DO list the night before or each morning with priorities set for you.
Do more than one thing at a time. Return a phone call while waiting for a document to be copied, for example.
Set deadlines for yourself.
Collect articles you want to read in a folder and mark if “Reading.” Take it with you so you can read the materials as you wait for appointments, planes, etc.
Be organized. Establish systems and procedures for your job and/or business.
Block out specific times for specific tasks such as phone calls, planning, emails, etc.
Develop templates of documents you create regularly, and then modify them as needed.
Whenever you feel yourself procrastinating, ask yourself what you are avoiding?
Hold meetings only when there is a need for one.
Break down large projects into smaller tasks.
Store your reference materials, manuals, etc. in one convenient place.
Always begin meetings on time and don't wait for latecomers.
Keep all project information in one place.
Develop and use a “tickler” or “follow-up” system.
Use a simple filing system.
Set goals.
Learn to say “NO.” It is said to be the most powerful word in time management vocabulary.
Allocate your time to those who “deserve” it rather than to those who “demand” it.
Ask for advice when needed.
Do you want to find some time, manage your time more effectively and get more things done? Would you like some advice on how to do that?
If you said Yes, then please contact Glenn Ebersole at jgecoach@aol.com and we will discuss who you can become a better time manager.
