How do you waste your time?

To Do Lists

www.barbaranixon.co.uk

Write a List of absolutely everything you have to do

Cross off all the things that don’t actually have to be done

Underline what you can delegate

Highlight what MUST be done today

Write things on the bottom that you hadn’t planned to do

Be realistic

Delegation

www.barbaranixon.co.uk

Think of it as short term pain long term gain

It’s a great way of developing someone

Make sure you empower them

#1 – Being Disorganised

www.barbaranixon.co.uk

If you spend your time looking for things…time for a clear

out

Organise your PC; your inbox and your desk

Create a system and stick to it

#2 – Coffee and Smoke Breaks

www.barbaranixon.co.uk

If you’re having too many…have a re-think

Stick to one in the morning, lunch and one in the afternoon

#3 – Social Media

www.barbaranixon.co.uk

Keep a tally of how often you’re on social media

How long on average are you wasting?

If this is too long…time to cut down

#4 – Procrastination

www.barbaranixon.co.uk

Identify what time of day you procrastinate most and avoid doing big tasks then

Split bigger jobs into manageable chunks so they don’t feel so daunting

Allow yourself a break – if you really don’t feel like doing it. Find out why?

Watching TV; updating your social networking and checking your emails is OK providing it’s all part of the plan and it doesn’t become the norm and taking over your life. Remember you are in control of your time.

#5 – E-Mails

www.barbaranixon.co.uk

Allocate time to check your emails – not first thing

Turn off your email alert

Touch each email once

#6 – Saying No

www.barbaranixon.co.uk

Practice Saying No

#7 – Multi-Tasking

www.barbaranixon.co.uk

Focus on one thing at a time

#8 – Meetings

www.barbaranixon.co.uk

Ask yourself:

What’s the purpose?

What contribution are you expected to make

Can someone else go on your behalf?

Questions?
