Time Management - Nutshell


If you have to do it tomorrow then do it today and if you have to do it today then do it NOW.
Never leave ’till tomorrow which you can do today.

Work:


  1. Plan your day as the first task in office with Priorities 1, 2 & 3. Do the same at home also.
  2. Clean Desk and Arrange Folder (Desk & Computer)
  3. Clean the inbox daily and arrange the document based on sender.
  4. For every email either reply or delete/read state. Don’t keep it unnecessarily. Track the follow up item in work tracker or to do list.
  5. You mail content should be Brief, Clear, Simple, Prompt and Careful.
  6. Unsubscribe unwanted spam mails or mark it as spam to move to spam folder.
  7. Meeting plan


    • Create checklist for the meeting
    • Start on time
    • End before the planned time
    • Action items based on each category
    • Recap at end of the meeting.


    • Make sure MOM is shared.


  8. Weekly meeting with your team to make sure you are on track. 
  9. Plan for your team members for better result. Instead of just giving a new task to your team member, give the task with guidance for prompt and better result. This will avoid wasting time in rework.
Real Life:
  1. Start your morning the night before. Plan your dress, food etc. 
  2. Set your clock 10 or 15 min ahead

  6. Utilize the wait time in meeting or flight with podcast or mails or documents or something useful.
  7. Stand and work for better brain access. It helps you back too. 
  8. Plan your travel to avoid traffic & prepare well for the trip with Map, Itinerary etc
  9. Do additional activities on the way home like grocery shopping, visit to bank or post office etc. 
  10. Keep emergency cash to avoid running to ATM or Bank. Keep at least one or two check leaf in your purse. 
  11. Full your car/motor cycle/bike tank promptly. 
  12. Perfection Analysis – Think the gain from perfection. Sometimes less perfection is better then spending a whole lot of time to make something perfect. 
  13. Clean your mind for better thoughts
  14. Rest well (At least 6 hours sleep) & physical Health (At least 3 days of physical exercise)
