“Bad news – time flies
Good news – you are the pilot!”
– Michael Altschuh
How true this little short poem is! A plan can make you a better “time pilot”.
Make a plan to save time and get more done! Try standing up to make your plan. You will be more focused and work faster.
Take control of your schedule by listing what you have to do and then put beside each item an estimated time frame. When I do that, it brings me into reality of what is really do-able for that day. When I see I have 8 hours of items to do and only 5 hours of time, it makes me decide what is really important. I use this system in my office and for my personal projects on the weekends.
For bigger projects you may want a Project Action Plan. Go to http://www.clutterfree.biz/clutterfree-services/business/ to print one.
1. Stand and list the items to do.
2. Put a time estimate for each item.
3. Reality time – look at the time available and then match it with what is most important to accomplish.
