How To Manage Your Time
When it comes to remembering time our brain can most of the time lead to misleading results.
This doesn't need to be the case. Some people routinely conduct an in depth look at their day to make sure they are not wasting any. The process can be made mechanical to relieve the annoyance, and if it is done consistently - and the results acted up on - it will guide you to a noteworthy betterment in performance. Because you will be focusing more of your cherished day on the chores that count.
Instead of standing around trying to remember the actions of the day, you should journal the day as it happens. To get a good picture, the journal needs to be done over an extended - to polish any cyclic patterns. In the real world, of course, this would be impossible. However, you should aim to journal each day of the week. This can be spread out over several weeks to alleviate the load. For example: Week one you can journal Monday and Friday, week two Tuesday and Thursday, and week three Wednesday.
It is a must to journal the actions as they occur, and in enough specific detail that the day can be analyzed at a different time. Now that you have all of the results you need to examine the data, you need to do just that. There are two ways of breaking down your data.
First you could review the day and put the actions into different categories: selling, meetings, follow ups, Internet usage, report writing, telephone, referrals etc. You will be depressed at how much of your day is lost and not spent to your main job
Second ponder What would happen if this task was not done?" If the answer is not a single thing, then the course of action is clear. If not doing the exact action would have no good effect on your business, life, spirituality, relationship, job, what ever it is you are trying to manage your day for, then don't bother to do it. Nonetheless, most of the tasks will have some value, so you next need to debate: "Could someone else do this better?" With a little breaking downs, you can manage your day and accomplish your job much easier and much more expeditiously.
