WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?
Time Management is the ability to use our time effectively and productively, especially at work.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT ? Time is limited More achievement, less effort Improved decision-making ability Be more successful in your career Reduce stress Free time is necessary Increased self-discipline
WHEN AM I WASTING THE TIME ?
When I don’t give priorities When I am always interrupted When I want to do everything at the same
time When I think “I’ll do it later” When I am always late
HOW CAN I SOLVE THEM Compile a daily list of
tasks to be achieved
Do unpleasant tasks first
Schedule time and finish one task before starting the next one
HOW CAN I SOLVE THEMGive priority to importantthings:
Priority 1 important and urgent
Priority 2 important, not urgent
Priority 3 urgent, not important
Priority 4 not important, not urgent
HOW CAN I SOLVE THEM Set deadlines
Break up large tasks into bite-sized chuncks that are manageable
Keep your desk always organised and tidy up
File your documents regularly
HOW CAN I SOLVE THEM On phone calls, keep
your social chat at minimum and make answers brief and to the point
Delegate
Learn to say NO
AND NOW LET’S EXPERIMENT !
And if we add sand ?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN ? If you put sand first,
there is no room for big rocks
Take care of things that are truly important for you; the rest is only pebbles and sand
So…time flies…
Are you the pilot or the passenger ?
Thank you for attention
