That could be a set number of calls each day, lesson preparation or assigning work to our team. We all have a set of core activities we are employed to do. Once you know what activities you need to do to maximise your sales, teach your students or manage your department effectively, those activities need to be listed out, placed in your task manager or calendar and repeated as often as they have to. Salespeople sell, teachers teach, and managers manage. Our core work is the work we are employed to do. Here are a few ways to maximise your doing time and reduce your planning and organising time. There are several ways you can make your days more productive and ultimately more fulfilling, but these ways will require some form of back-end work that most people resist doing.
One that required less time reviewing, so more time could be spent doing the work. This is one of the reasons I moved away from a Getting Things Done (GTD) based system to a more fluid one. So you want to reduce the time you spend planning and organising to its absolute minimum. Spending twenty-five per cent of your day organising and planning takes a large chunk of time away from doing activities. (The only part of the time management equation we do have control over.) While managing your stuff and planning have their role, that role should be tiny in your daily activities.īecoming more productive is about taking the resource of time - a fixed resource - and maximising activity within that time. A mistake I see many people making is spending too much time organising and planning.
