Time and Priority Management

Make sure you don’t run out of time, and join the Wily Manager guys this week, as they discuss Time and Priority management.  Join the discussion on this topic that impacts everyone.

Monday’s Tip:   Do Less, Not More.  Rather than cramming more things into an already busy day, you need to be strategic about doing the important things, and NOT doing other things.

Tuesday’s Tip:   Understand where your time currently goes.  Track your time for two weeks to learn how you currently allocate the precious resource of time.  You may be surprised how some of your time is spent.

Wednesday’s Tip:   Identify your top priorities.  Any discussion of time management without discussing priorities is useless.  Identify the top 3 to 7 things that are true priorities for you.  If you come up with 20 things, you need to whittle your list down.

Thursday’s Tip:   Plan action to achieve your top priorities.  For each of your top priorities, you need to schedule time to achieve those priorities every week.  This saves you from being overwhelmed by the urgent.

Friday’s Tip:   Just do it.  Nike had it right – sometimes you have to just do it.  You need to build discipline into how you organize your time, and many times that is just a matter of getting things done, and not making excuses.
