Time Savers Don’t we all want to save time? But how, when we have so many things on our plates? Here are some ideas from Don Clark… Time Savers Include: - Manage the decision making process not the decisions
- Do one task at a time
- Establish daily, short term, mid-term, and long-term priorities
- Make memos, letters, and emails short and do them quickly
- Get rid of unneeded things
- Make yourself personal deadlines and deadlines for your groups
- Do not waste other people’s time
- Make sure all meetings have a purpose, a time limit, and include only the necessary people
- Get rid of busy work
- Keep accurate calendars; and stick to them
- Know when to stop a task, policy or procedure
- Delegate everything possible and encourage teammates to take on responsibilities
- Keep things simple
- Ensure time is set aside to get high priority tasks completed
- Reflect
- Use checklists and to do lists
- Change time priorities when you get new tasks
