Time Management

Some Important Time Management Aids

1. Time Manager (with Daily Planner)

The fundamental premise of this is that you look at your urgent and important task carefully and then schedule them on daily and weekly basis. (please refer to the next page for a sample)

2. Concept of “Quiet Hour”

What it means is that one should have the ability to spend some time, in complete isolation, to introspect and continuously look at life’s priorities.

3. Re-designing of work place

What it means is that the work place should be convenient to and not obstructive to facilitate your ability to manage “yourself and your time” in a relaxed manner.

4. WPB (Waste Paper Bin)

What it means is that anything which is not useful to the work situation should be destroyed as quickly as possible and not allowed to lying around.

I agree to make full use of my time by:

Developing a list of priority items to do each day.

Monitoring my phone calls to prevent constant interruptions.

Keeping appointments on time, apart from emergencies.

Not allowing “casual” visitors to waste my time.

Making time for people who report to me.

Doing important things immediately rather than wasting time on trivia.

Developing my staff and delegating to them all they can and should do.

Keeping accurate files of work items.

Setting realistic deadlines for tasks and projects and having someone remind me of them.

Planning “quiet times” regularly for reflection and long term work.

Setting time limits for meetings, interviews and conferences, and keeping to them.

Stopping to assess my time management performance.

Helping others to improve their time management.
