Practice desciption
Time Management is a never-ending challenge. Especially with work and private life being more blended than ever and we have access to unlimited information. Also, there are a lot of distractions with the constant stream of information and interactions that keep you from achieving your goals.
That’s why a lot of people use to-do lists to help them organize their working and even their private life. There is a lot of research about writing down things to do, to help you achieve your goals. However, you probably already know that not all items on the to-do list get done. Also, a to-do list gives you the option to choose the easy tasks first. A staggering 41% of the items on a to-do list are never completed according to The Busy Person's Guide to the Done List.
What steps to take for the practice
What’s the alternative:
- Plan all tasks in your calendar. Highly successful people like Richard Branson and Michelle Obama use their calendars extremely efficient.
- Eat the frog: this means do the most important and difficult task first!
- Plan meetings and calls in the afternoon.
- Block time in the late afternoon to reflect on:
- Were you able to complete the tasks in your calendar?
- What was successful and what could be improved?
- Are you one step closer to reach your own big goals? - Schedule preparation time to be prepared for tomorrow.
- Make room for personal time, f.e. going to the gym or reading a book.
Expected results
- More effective
- Higher efficiency
- Better work-life balance
- You are in control of your time!
