Make Good Use of Time

Hello Everyone,

?Most of us need to find a way to get more out of the hours available to us. It can be done, and you can do it.

?- Spend time like money; use it to do what is important to you, not what other people tell you is important.

?- Examine your daily life routines that can be altered or dispensed with for immediate time savings. Example: reading the entire newspaper every morning.

?- Save your most challenging work for the times of day when you are freshest and at your best.

?- Twice a day ask yourself, "Am I making the best use of my time right now?" Change tasks if you aren't.

?- Look at your watch frequently to assess the effectiveness of your time-management skills.

?- Write less; phone more.

?- Outline topics to discuss on the telephone. Make telephone appointments. Open conversations with "What can I do for you?" not "How are you?" Bring calls to a prompt close after completing your business.

?- Get to work earlier than others or stay later to profit from uninterrupted productivity. During the day do some of your work away from the office for the same reason.

?- Don't take over projects because others are not doing their jobs. Instead, teach or empower them to produce.

?- Write answers to letters in the margins of the ones you receive.

?- Discontinue unnecessary meetings; see that the ones you must attend are conducted more efficiently.

?- Don't overdo revisions when the cost of redoing the work exceeds the value of the improvement gained.
