Why Time Management is
Important
- (^) “The Time Famine”
- (^) Bad time management = stress
- (^) This is life advice
The Problem is Severe
By some estimates, people waste about 2 hours per day. Signs of time wasting:
- (^) Messy desk and cluttered (or no) files
- (^) Can’t find things
- (^) Miss appointments, need to reschedule them late and/or unprepared for meetings
- (^) Volunteer to do things other people should do
- (^) Tired/unable to concentrate
Goals, Priorities, and Planning
- (^) Why am I doing this?
- (^) What is the goal?
- (^) Why will I succeed?
- (^) What happens if I chose not to do it?
The 80/20 Rule
- (^) Critical few and the trivial many
- (^) Having the courage of your convictions
- (^) Good judgment comes from experience
- (^) Experiences comes from bad judgment
Planning
- (^) Failing to plan is planning to fail
- (^) Plan Each Day, Each Week, Each Semester
- (^) You can always change your plan, but only once you have one!
TO Do Lists
- (^) Break things down into small steps
- (^) Like a child cleaning his/her room
- (^) Do the ugliest thing first
Paperwork
- (^) Clutter is death; it leads to thrashing. Keep desk clear: focus on one thing at a time
- (^) A good file system is essential
- (^) Touch each piece of paper once
- (^) Touch each piece of email once; your inbox is not your TODO list
