"I have at work a work involving all hands!", "On affairs a full blockage!", "I live in a constant time trouble!" – how many times a week you say one of similar phrases? Or, perhaps, the condition of an absolute lack of time became for you constant and inevitable? Calm down! Yes, time has no price and, it is always not enough, but in your forces to solve this problem at least partly.
Beginning of the beginnings
Wise spoke to change a state of affairs, it is necessary to change the attitude towards them. Only the one who trusts in it recovers, there is rich only the one who is ready to it, and skillfully the one who is capable to change approach to work operates the time only.
Begin any business with the organizational moments. Since evening plan the day, pack necessary things and documents, prepare all data, at the end of the day of work bring order in a workplace. Trifles? But count, what is the time went to waste because that you forgot about the made business appointment, did not take the important document from the house, looked in blockages on a desktop for a sticker with the client's phone in the afternoon. Self-organization – the first step on the way of fight against a lack of time.
Key moments
Whether there were at you situations when you just about finish the large project, but the chief tearfully asks you about in parallel to undertake obligations under other project, or the colleague begs to help it with "the most important" for it (!) business? Finally, you broke almost ended on terms and is brilliant, but almost executed, the project, did not manage to help the colleague and got it hot from the head for low-quality work. How to avoid it? The answer is simple – learn only 3 letters and repeat their every time, when necessary. These 3 letters "H", "E" and "T". It is clear, what it is about?
You were given a task which by your calculations will occupy hour two? Means, establish term at three o'clock and at all do not agree to hand over work ahead of schedule. Otherwise you risk to get into a situation when because of unforeseen force majeurs your operating schedule is broken, and the task is not performed. Your credo – to leave time for emergency.
Learn to place priorities. Begin the working day with performance of the most important, difficult and large-scale issues. You will manage to check the contract on the way home, the call to human resources department will take 15 minutes, cleaning of a workplace as we already agreed, postpone for the end of day. The small instructions distracting you from performance of a difficult task have to stand in the last ranks of the list of affairs.
Do not do today what can be put off. Paradox? In it one more secret of fight against "devourers" of time also consists. You work on the urgent project – means, e-mail can be checked later. Be not distracted by trifles, focus on the main thing.
Plan everything and always: from the fact that you are going to put on a business meeting, to the list of paramount affairs for today. You do not need the constant plan from which it is impossible to deviate, but the basic core anyway has to be. Be during the day verified with the plan, making corrections and doing marks at once, not putting away for later, otherwise you surely will forget about it.
In afternoon quite often drives in a dream and as soon as you try to focus on work, figures departure somewhere afar, and letters begin to draw inconceivable patterns? If forces to finish old or to begin new is not present, devote time to obtaining useful knowledge: look through the reference book, see news and, at last, check mail.
In the conclusion
Do not undertake too much obligations and never do for in vain others work!
Well, all began to be surprised from where you have so much free time? Means, you learned the stated lessons!
