Management of Your time




Michael Seidle asked interesting question in LI:

More Time... How do you get it?

How do you find more time to get work done in a day? Once you get more time, what do you do with it?

--------------
I based my answer on the personal experience and exercise. Please find these advices bellow:

How do I find more time to get work done in a day:

1. Planning my "hard" day in advance, for example before going to sleep
2. Scroll the task should be done with possible implementation scenarios
3. Make some tasks simultaneously:

* While driving a car make phone calls
* While talking with customers to make a e-memo of the meeting on portable device, not paper
* While walking from the car to the office make a plan" what to do the first and how"

4. Using High-tech devices

* CRM, calender on mobile phone
* Record your blog, presentation, speech via Jott ( www.jott.com)
* Widgets: for quick access to the info
* We use also a presentation tool, which is helping for all team members: no need to do extra work
* We are working on a project " assistant on the mobile phone" which will handle booking meetings ;0))

Once you get more time, what I do with it:

1. Follow ups: extremely important. Other wise the done part of the job is gone
2. Store info about the customers, meetings in the CRM
3. Improve website
4. Write a Blog
5. Ask questions via LI
6. Brainstorm and plan " what next?"
7. Networking
8. Answering questions on LI
9. Refresh half-dead contacts
10. Traveling for fun

--------------
You do have your own methodology?
