#221: One-Minute Tips on Time Management

Introduction

Today, on the "People Skills" newsletter, we're putting the spotlight on our One-Minute Tips slides again.

As the name suggests, the One-Minute Tips slides are our version of short, concise, and focused learning topics, in other words, our version of microlearning.

In fact, on nearly all the slides, the information can be learnt in perhaps half the time, but "Half-Minute Tips" doesn't quite have the same ring about it!

You can browse your way through all of our "One-Minute Tips" presentations in less than half an hour. Which means that, if you want to brush up on any soft skills topics, this collection is perfect when you have some spare time in your day.

The topic of today's "One-Minute Tips" is "Time Management" and we've selected the first 15 slides to show you...

01. Understand the Paradoxes of Time

The study of time produces many paradoxes. For example: time is universal yet essentially personal; time is money but costs nothing; time is a resource, but we cannot buy it or sell it...

02. Think in 3D

Time comes in three dimensions for everyone: a past we can learn from, a present we have to decide upon, and a future we have to plan...

03. Make the Most of Your Time

Peter Drucker says time is the last great resource left to man. Whereas we know how to manage fixed resources, like money, machines and people, time is an elusive resource...

04. Use Time Like Money

Time is like money because how we use time can make us rich or poor. Time also has a cost attached to it; doing little valuable with our time can be a waste of money...

05. Use Time Well

Time and life go hand in hand. From cradle to grave, we record our lives in terms of how we spend our time. Our obituaries record what we do with our time on earth: whether we spend it well, or fritter it away...

06. Don't Be Too Busy

In a survey by the Abbey National, most people reported that they never had enough time to do what they wanted...

07. Don't Waste Time

According to the Goldfish credit card company, each of us wastes 2.5 years of our lives on unprofitable activities...

08. Know the Value of Time

The value of time depends on how much we appreciate it...

09. See Time as a Cost

Most of us tend not to worry about time. If we waste some today, there's always plenty around tomorrow...

10. Ditch the 3 x 47 Work Pattern

In the past, people aspired to a working life on the "3 x 47" pattern...

11. Work Flow

Your freedom to manage time at work depends on how work comes to you...

12. Time and Culture

There are 4 types of workplace culture and each one affects how you manage your time...

13. Drive, Default, Dump and Developed Bosses

Your boss can make a big difference to the way you manage your time at work...

14. Measuring Your Time

You can measure how well you manage your time at work across 5 timescales...

15. Pearl Crushers and Pearl Divers

Edward Sheldrick describes people at work as either pearl crushers or pearl divers...
